looking for some basic htaccess coding

[archer]

newby question: Just looking for some basic htaccess code to prevent surfers from using a bookmark to return to my "Content" page, and prevent other websites from "Hot linking" your files and pics. If a surfer does use a bookmark to access your "Content" directory or tries to hotlink pics, i'd like to be able to send them 'elsewhere'

any help would be appreciated.

From the above example, exclude the following:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

As that will give access to bookmarkers. Just make it qualify with a referer from your domain. Also consider adding in your website's IP address as a referer aswell, some people/browsers for some odd reason use IP instead.
