Default Suggestions of a good blogging website

I want to start a blog for my 52 Week Project. Well, I already started one on Blogspot, but I noticed that you can right click and save as on it, and I dont want that. I know with Flickr you cant, if you have right click disabled. I know that there is no absolute way to protect your photos from being stolen from the web. But putting them up on something that at least you can disable right click on kinda helps.

Does anyone know of a good FREE blogging website that if I post photos, at least right click is disabled? I know that with Blogspot you can make your own domain, for only $10 a month. Even if it isnt a blogging website, something that I could use as such, or a website that you can create your own domain for not a whole lot per month.

Any suggestions here would be awesome.

Even if it looks like it's right click disabled, it isn't. I have a plugin for my browser that disables the disabling of the right click.

Besides, as soon as the page is loaded, that image is already on their computer.

Make sure you are posting in a low resolution. That will prevent people from being able to download and get a good print off what you are posting. You can also watermark your photos to deter unwanted downloading.

Oh trust me, EVERYTHING thats part of my actual photography gets watermarked before its uploaded to anything.
I'm not sure how I could change the resolution when I upload to somewhere though. Up until now everything has been taken on my point and shoot. But now that I have my DSLR, if I upload something thats good enough for someone to want it, I want to deter them from ganking it as much as possible.

One reason for this concern all of a sudden, I went out today to take some shots, and one of them is a really great shot ( well, to me. ) and I dont want it to be used somewhere without my permission.

When you upload pictures to Blogger (as opposed to hosting them somewhere else), the quality gets somewhat downgraded already, at least that's what I have noticed with my pictures. One option for you would be to upload the pictures as you do now, but remove the link to the bigger version (the one you get when you click on the image), so viewers only see the small ~200x300 photo.

another option is to change the DPI, that way if anyone does steal it any time they want to shrink or enlarge it all they get is some colourfull pixles

Sorry, this is wrong. The only thing that matters is total pixel dimensions. Put up a file at 72 and the same file at 300, and they are both the exact same file and file size.

All one has to do is download it, and change the resolution.

So, where would I go to disable that? How would I disable that?

Buddha- I found a thing on another blog about putting this code to disable right click in your HTML, by adding a new element, but I couldnt figure out how to add an element. I'll pm you my email addy though,.. and maybe you can explain it better. Cause I was lost, I tried doing it and it didnt work. So I'm either doing something wrong, or they have no idea what theyre talking about.
