The only freebies I have gotten are books for review....and I don't advertize, so no problem there. Not really sure how to treat the book thing.

But we've never put a watermark on our photos the way some stores do because we believe in the promotion of antiques in general and sort of feel likeOlga Granda-Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17281010012611137902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-35280410398667483172009-08-07T22:17:33.752-04:002009-08-07T22:17:33.752-04:00Joni...

I have a google alert for "pigtown design" and recently, I got an alert for a site that had lifted each and every one of my posts, verbatum and posted them. Funnily enough, I can't access the site via anything but a cached view, but every post says my title, posted by the other person. It's creepy.Pigtown*Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775512940294150252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-17186379438511482102009-08-07T21:02:11.040-04:002009-08-07T21:02:11.040-04:00Great post.

What Maison said about photos though - I can't tell you how many times I see the same photo on blog after blog after blog and sometimes the original is long lost and forgotten. I don't think that if a photo comes from a magazine, then from another blog, then from another blog, you have to worry about copyrights. Myself, I could care less who takes my photos and enjoys them.cotedetexashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421509668956556785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-30121495232695246752009-08-07T15:47:21.107-04:002009-08-07T15:47:21.107-04:00btw, the logo idea is great.btw, the logo idea is great.72 and sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18244030255190856553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-52889779001653982002009-08-07T15:46:53.452-04:002009-08-07T15:46:53.452-04:00I'm with you on this too.

I think bloggers who came from print/journalism will recognize the need. And I think the photographers will give you a big shout out. They have been the often neglected foot soldiers who far too long have remained unnamed and uncredited. <br /><br />Not being a home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-76230169036680302252009-08-07T06:52:02.952-04:002009-08-07T06:52:02.952-04:00This is so important.

It would be great if all of this were actualized in practice. <br /><br />With the advertising though: I like to have it be obvious on the site but not verbalized with huge letters like SPONSORED POST. That really annoys me - I don't care how you keep your lights on, just show me something beautiful and let me trust that you have determined its quality for me.
