 * I have created a graphic (jpg) that I would like to make available for other 
   site owners to embed in their sites. It is a Blue Ridge Parkway Fall Color Tracker.
   I will update it every few days and I want it to auto-update on any site in which
   it is embedded. I would like it to carry a link back to my site – [http://blueridgeparkwaydaily.com](http://blueridgeparkwaydaily.com).
 * Since the image will change every few days, I don’t want to use a regular image
   source code and simply change the image out with the same name because the image
   will be cached and not change for return visitors.
 * I am not sure if an iframe would work because it might not carry the link juice
   with it. Javascript?
 * It is a 200×200 jpg that I envision would be embedded in sidebars.
 * I am not a coder.

 * If other sites use the image, it will not necessarily have a link. They’ll have
   to provide the link separately. There is no way that you can embed the link inside
   the image.
 * To prevent browsers from caching the image, or to force them to reload it after
   a specified time, you have to modify the HTTP Expires or Cache-Control headers
   sent by your server along with the image file. As your server is Apache, you 
   can probably do this with a .htaccess file. Another way is by using PHP code 
   to deliver the image. I haven’t tried either method myself, so I don’t have complete
   details.
