Photo Credit Example with clickable link to original page source
Sharing via Social Networks
Sharing via social networks and text-based links to The Micro Gardener website ARE perfectly acceptable. However, the correct web link to the image or page must be included.
Photo Credits
Photo attribution is good manners and ‘netiquette.‘ You credit the original owner of the image which protects their IP (intellectual property). This honours their work.
Adding Links to Images
Please include the URL (link) to the PAGE THE IMAGE IS LOCATED on my website. It is NOT acceptable to just use a general link to “themicrogardener.com.”
When you visit a site to find more information about an image, don’t you get frustrated if you can’t find it?
“Adding the correct URL is like putting the return address when you post a letter. It helps people find you.”
You can add the link above or below the image AND as a CLICKABLE LINK on the image itself to redirect to this site. e.g. “Source (or Image via): themicrogardener.com.”
“If you share an image without crediting the ‘artist’ or author, it’s like stealing a painting from an art gallery and hanging it in your own home, as if it were your own. When you share a link to the ‘artist’, it’s a compliment to their work and they get recognized. A ‘win-win’ for both of you.”
