How to find the original source of any image There’s nothing worse than seeing your image on Pinterest with hundreds of re-pins linked to another site because someone used it in a blog post without crediting it to you. It is important to link to the original site. Weheartit is a bookmarking site and unfortunately images usually get added there without an original source. I love weheartit for inspiring and pretty images but when it comes to proper sources, this site is awful. What about social media sites such as We Heart It & Pinterest How would you feel if your images were being used on another site without a link to you? Pretty annoyed I’d imagine, as you should be.
More importantly, the creator can take legal action if you post their work without proper credits and consent. You are using an image that someone took the time to create whether it be a photograph, an illustration or a graphic, therefore you should link back to them as a way of saying thank you. Why do I need to give credit to original sourceįirstly, because it’s the right thing you do. Todays post will explain giving credit, what might happen if you don’t and how to properly find the original creator. The saying “a picture is worth 1000 words” is extremely relative when it comes to blogging, so why don’t we give credit to those who made the image. Images are an essential part of blogging, helping to attract readers and adding a little something extra to a post. A long overdue post about finding the correct original source for images and giving proper credit when using images that aren’t yours.
