Cheers everyone I hope you all have an awesome week!

Its much more efficient(ie automated) than the file name/location change method. This fun little trick can be done with apache by messing with the .htacess file.

You then put the real image in a different spot and change out the location in your own site to match the new spot of the "real" image. Yeah, that seems sort of difficult, but it is a matter of seconds to actually do it once you have the new image you want.

Instead, I just renamed the image file. Yawn. Nice move, Lee!
