I'd like to be able to keep search engines from picking up the images in my albums. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance...

Take a look here:

You can do it with robots.txt and .htaccess.

Robots.txt:

http://www.searchengineworld.com/robots/robots_tutorial.htm
in fact, google for "robots.txt" (http://www.google.com/search?q=robots.txt) and you will find loads of usefull pages.

Keep google from spidering your images:

Code Select

User-Agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /
