setting up htaccess

[Dragonfly Graph]

I filed a support ticked and was directed here. Basically what I want to do is set up an httaccess file because I have someone who constantly steals my layouts and ideas. I want to block her IP from reaching my page by throwing her an error document. I have googled around on thisand have a couple good links, but I am still not quite sure how to set this up within my files in my control panel. Can anyone help?

Well there is about a zillion ways you can do that from .htaccess ....

The simplest: "deny from 0.0.0.0"

Where 0.0.0.0 would be the bad user's IP address

In cPanel, IP deny manager. Add the IP there and it's added to the .htaccess
This may slow someone down but it won't stop them. If they want your design they'll get it.
