<p>The only option you have here is to mark your blog as not wanting to be indexed by the search engines.  You do this Dashboard -&#62; Options -&#62; Privacy.  This will create Meta tags for your site that should prevent most offical spiders from indexing.</p>
<p>The issue though is that this will also remove your blog from teh search engines completely, not just the images.</p>
<p>Since this is a shared environment, being able to modify the robots.txt file would mean you would be modifying it for everybody here and they would be doing the same to you.</p>
<p>Hope this helps,<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<p>How do I remove my images from Google's image search? I unassumingly used descriptive words in the image-file names and now the photos are in the Google Image search index. So I removed the descriptive words and made all my file names just letters, as in "m.jpg" but that doesn't remove them from Google's index.<br />
I checked the Google Image help centre (<a href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35308" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35308</a>)<br />
and it gives the following advice but will it work on WordPress and where do I put the code? </p>
<p>"To remove an image from Google's image index, add a robots.txt file to the root of the server. (If you can't put it in the server root, you can put it at directory level.)</p>
<p>Example: If you want Google to exclude the dogs.jpg image that appears on your site at <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/images/dogs.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoursite.com/images/dogs.jpg</a>, create a page at <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/robots.txt" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoursite.com/robots.txt</a> and add the following text:</p>
<p>User-agent: Googlebot-Image<br />
Disallow: /images/dogs.jpg </p>
<p>To remove all the images on your site from our index, place the following robots.txt file in your server root:</p>
<p>User-agent: Googlebot-Image&#60;<br />
Disallow: /
