This is so much to learn about blogging even for people like me who've been blogging for awhile.

Today I used Facebook shares that were intended to be shared, one even says to spread it. :) I'm a digital scrapbook designer and copyright infringement is huge in our community.

Only once did I come across a photo I wanted to use and I asked the owner. They said no, and that was that.

Most of my photos are from flikr/creative commons and giving credit by linking it to where I found the photo but these past few days I used my own photos as much as possible. Its great to hear that you're honest about it. Good advice! This post would be very helpful for someone just starting out with their blogs. :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13388056096934863151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-88683992549801940752012-12-09T21:47:31.831-06:002012-12-09T21:47:31.831-06:00Savvy, no one is more honest than you and i think ...Savvy, no one is more honest than you and i think you should stop worrying about it.

There is a website, Compfight, that will let you search for Creative Commons images as well. And I always try to include a photo credit and link at the bottom of my posts. I haven't had any problems yet, but I suppose it's always a possibility when using images that aren't originally mine. Still, usually a photo credit and link are enough to keep yourself safe.

In the future, if you'd like to link an image back to another site you can do two things:<br /><br />1) Write a sentence letting people know who the photographer is and linking back to the photographer's site.<br /><br />2) Make the image clickable back to the photographer's site. Here's an example of image coding that goes back to a site:<br /><br />I original put the code in, but Blogger doesn't allow coding - if you Google "link an image" or "image html code" you can find an example.<br /><br />That sucks that the photographer's site traffic was being affected. The things you just don't think about.<br /><br />KimberlyKimberly Gauthier, Dog Nutrition Blogger for Keep the Tail Wagginghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021211954887075184noreply@blogger.com
