What EVERYONE needs to know about image harvesting and hot linking
I have had it on my long list of things to do to write an article about this important topic. Seems like Julie just beat me to it!
Image harvesting is copying and pasting an image from someone’s website and putting it on their own. Not Cool 
Hot linking is linking to the image located on another website so that it appears on your own site. Not Cool 
Please read Julie’s excellent article here. and her second article here.
Just a small word about the free demo buttons and such that I make available to everyone…
These are free indeed, and please feel free to download them and use them on your blogs without asking. What I do ask is that everyone please download the buttons and upload them on your own blogs. That is the correct way of using these free buttons. Please do not hot link them to your blogs. You’ll be stealing bandwidth from my blog host.
Thanks, Julie, for the awesome explanation! I couldn’t have said it better! ![]()
Jacki’s banner matches her purse!
Jacki Montgomery wanted a banner that matched her purse and the blog background she already had. So I pulled a few purse strings and got one together for her!
Here is the purse:
Here is her banner!:

A Banner for Germana
I never would have put the colors Brilliant Blue and Chocolate Chip together in one banner… but Germana knew it would look good!

Germana Ferrao-Lenn wanted to include her beautiful domino bracelets on her banner and sent me a few photographs. I digitally clipped her bracelets by hand for this banner. This job was not an easy one and required a VERY steady hand. I was definitely feeling a bit sore in my right hand from grasping the mouse for long periods of time. But I think the clipping turned out pretty well…
Germana is a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator who lives in England! Drink some tea for me tomorrow, Germana! I really must pop back over to England sometime to buy some more HP Sauce. The bottles we brought back last time have all been used up. Maybe I can talk Germana into sending me some. ;) And I wouldn’t object if she’d slip in some Horlick’s either! Horlick’s… invented here in my hometown of Racine, WI by Mr. William Horlick (who has a High School named after him)… but (sigh) now only available in the UK! Yum!
