Hey All!
I would like to start blogging about other great artsy people I know but something that has prevented me from doing so has been copyright.
Essentially it is wrong to take photos from another person's blog and publish them in your posts without their permission. If you want to promote them or share their work with others, you need to contact them and ask for permission.
This is a bit of a drag of you are an impulsive blogger and want your post published immediately. Most people are "Omg, serioulsy, just use my photo and link back!" But there are a few people who are very wary of their work being posted anywhere.
I am all for it of any of you want to take one of my images and post it on your blog. But you need to link back to my blog and make it obvious that it's my work. Say my name a few times, say why you're posting my image and don't lead people to believe you made the art or took the photo. That's fairly well understood etiquette. But onn the other hand, I don't want your enthusiasim to dampen because you have to wait 48 hours before I reply with a go-ahead.
SO I have made some handy little buttons. You can place these on your blog if you want to encourage others to mention you or your work and give you credit without emailing you first.
If you want to use these feel free to save them and load them onto your blog. You must link back to this post though so others will know where to find them and what they mean!
Re-cap the rules:
If you see this button one a blog you can use their image in your blog post BUT:
1) turn their image into a link back to them
2) Make it obvious that the image you're using is THEIRS by showing their name and providing an obvious link
3) Do NOT alter their image in anyway shape or form.
4) Do NOT use their image as a graphic for your blog layout, website layout, forum avatar etc.
5) Notifying them that you used their image is nice! But you don't need permission before you publish your post!
If you want to use the buttons on your website
1) you MUST link back to this post so people will know what the button means and the terms of use :)
