There are times where blogs get me pretty fuming and angry (haha, these days its the political ones). Instead of participating in the blogosphere bash fest, I usually just make myself forget about it.

I really try to refrain from any negative reactions to other driver's and when I do catch myself reacting I feel it immediately and have to stop myself. I think it's so much easier to be consistent whether in your car or face to face. Consistently polite that is! (You've just prompted me to write a post - thanks!)<BR/><BR/>Be patient with me as this might be a little long. Sorry folks. Sometimes I get a little long-winded.<BR/><BR/>This topic about photos has been bugging me for quite some time. Seriously, it has kept me awake in bed at night thinking about it. I've had good intentions to ask others but haven't. Probably why it's keeping me up! Reading copyright information isn't always written in easy to understand terms either.<BR/><BR/>Proper attribution regarding photos is really unclear or maybe it is clear but not being followed?<BR/><BR/>Here's my question. Is using an image that is not yours and giving it a proper link, stating where it came from ok without asking for permission to use it on your blog?<BR/><BR/>Here's where it gets really unclear and tricky for me. Many blogs have some sort of copyright notice or statement about their content. Noted and fully understood. Many of these same blogs use images from commercial places i.e., (and I'm just using these as examples)Pottery Barn, Martha Stewart, Domino Magazine, Etsy, etc and numerous other online sites. Have they asked for permission to use the content? My guess is No.<BR/><BR/>I want to make it VERY clear here that I am NOT accusing or policing anyone or any site I just want to know what the rules are because I like to follow the rules and this just plain bugs me because it is such a gray area. I found myself wanting to use images from some of the same sites but I wasn't sure if it was ok to simply use them as long as I provided the source and a link. Here's why: The same blogs often state that written permission is needed to use their material yet I'm wondering if they have acquired that same permission from these large commercial sites? It's not that they (the bloggers) are using the images to claim as their own. It's usually used as a source for inspiration, a good find, a craft project, etc. Surely all the images from these commercial sites are copyrighted? I think that's a given. I know it's basically free advertisement and nods for these commercial sites but I can't help but wonder what they would say is their policy as far as image use on a blog. Perhaps I should ask them directly?<BR/><BR/>Andrew wouldn't happen to be a copyright attorney now would he?all over the maphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07683876349920004494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-26057119389084849812008-07-22T18:40:00.000-08:002008-07-22T18:40:00.000-08:00That was very well said.

I'm new to blogging and have often had questions about correct blog etiquette.<BR/><BR/> For example, sometimes I read a blog post that happens to be about something I also have written about. Part of me wants to include a link in the comments to my own post on the same topic, but that feels like I'm being the person at a party that is always saying "look at me! look at me!" <BR/><BR/>Can you suggest other resources for all us new bloggers? I'd really like to learn how to be a polite blogger!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01118546573573395042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-51488914546505662532008-07-22T12:56:00.000-08:002008-07-22T12:56:00.000-08:00I am guilty of writing comments with sarcasm.

It was so full of hate and rage at what I had written, that I deleted it. Then the person wrote back again an hour later to yell at me for deleting their comment and to insult me some more! I took the comment option down for a couple of days because clearly this person has some issues. I did make a note in my blog as to why I had written what I did - just to clear the air but I am now a bit afraid of putting the comment option back on.StaceyC4https://www.blogger.com/profile/01580337266163999623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-87193303862040261662008-07-22T06:39:00.000-08:002008-07-22T06:39:00.000-08:00The analogy is perfect for what we experience not ...The analogy is perfect for what we experience not only in blogging but any relationships or interactions on the Internet. We are going to need to develop the etiquette you speak of or this interaction may become the norm even in real life settings because we will be so accustomed to distanced communication. <BR/><BR/>And I loved the relevance of your photography and image advice.
