Hello,
I wanted to ask a question about using images on blogs, and it occurred to me that here would be a good place to ask.
Thus far I have only used pictures I have taken myself, for fear of copyright issues, legal proceedings, and general nastiness. I have noticed, though, a lot of bloggers using pictures from their Pinterest boards, and it seems to be commonly accepted that doing so is fine as long as you link back to the original source. In fact, a blogger whom I really like specifically told me this was fine (sorry to be still sceptical, btw).
But can this be right? I mean, really? I am torn. On the one hand, doing my little home improvement blog, it would be GREAT to be able to include pics of some of the things that have inspired me. Particularly where I have a 'before' picture, then some inspiration pictures, then the after. But I just can't bring myself to do it, as I can't see how it would be legal or ok to use other people's pictures without asking them, even if I did link back to the source.
Can anyone give me any definitive advice?
Am really grateful, as this has been bugging me.
