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!

Here is the purse:

Here is her banner!:

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!

Subscribers… watch for it soon in your inbox!

Here are some buttons for demos to use on their blogs to link to retired stamp sets they have for sale. There are a variety of colors to choose from! Pick one, download to your computer, upload to your server! Then create the link!

 Instructions for linking these at Typepad:

1. Download button to your desktop
2. Upload button to your file manager
3. Click on the file when you see it pop into the file manager and go to your browser url field.
4. Copy the url
5. Go to your Typelists and start a new "notes" Typelist
6. Type the following:
<a href="Put the link to your ebay listing or retired stamps store here"><img src="Paste the url you just copied here"></a>
7. Save
8. You may or may not need to republish. If you don’t see it appear, republish. Also, you may want to move it where you’d like it to appear… you do this in "Design" area of your admin. There is a tool there for moving things in your sidebar.

I’m having a bit of trouble with the new gallery.

Until the gallery gets fixed, here are links to the old galleries.

Blog Banners

Blog Layouts (Backgrounds with Banners)

Business Cards

Advertisement Design

Buttons

I still have lots of creations that I haven’t uploaded. I don’t really want to upload to the old gallery. I’m hoping the new gallery will be running shortly so I can upload everything in my crowded "finished" folder soon!
