I've used it to gather ideas for my novel; I like your idea of starting a board for my genre. Will have to get to that... some day. There are so many social media sites, and I want to have time to do what I love... write!!<br />I've never had images removed, but I appreciate your advice and will approach repins more carefully.

I would warn your friend to verify the quotes from several sources. I've found TONS of quotes attributed to the wrong person on Pinterest and on Goodreads. Those are good sites to begin, but always verify with two other sources to be sure. Thanks for the great question!

I LOVE Pinterest! Not only do I find great ideas for homeschooling but I recently found great websites that will help with research I am doing for an article. <br />But, like Sherry B., even some of my own photos will not download through Google, Bing, or Picassa. Some will, some won't.

You can access them here: https://picasaweb.google.com/home. If you've made any changes in picasa, like denied access or deleted anything, that would delete an image from your blog. Here's another link to a blogger forum with the 8 questions you need to ask to find what's happening. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/blogger/oM6S8twF3Jc/1WYiepeUYy8J<br />I hope this helps.

I'm still on the fence with Pinterest. I don't get much writing use from it. I do, however, get good info for gardening. My wife pins all things food related. Essentially, if a photo tells the story, it's helpful. By the way, if you ever decide to raise chickens, the backyard chicken keepers are very prolific pinners. I never took the plunge. Decided it was too much work after all those pins.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16473774179937702258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-59284676258267183152014-01-20T12:26:40.431-05:002014-01-20T12:26:40.431-05:00I've been using the Bing images like you sugge...I've been using the Bing images like you suggested, free to share and use commercially.

The confusing part of this is that nearly every single one of them is a picture I have snapped myself, or one that I've gotten from bing.com/images under "free to share and use commercially." Why might that be happening?Sherry Boykinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00286895522275887197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-47027552008266999962014-01-20T08:31:57.414-05:002014-01-20T08:31:57.414-05:00I used to be on Pinterest but pulled out, because ...I used to be on Pinterest but pulled out, because of these reasons. I'd like to get back on, but I'm a bit hesitant. What if I purchased the rights to a photo? Can I pit it? And I'd love to learn how you do the copyright watermark on a photo.Southern-fried Fictionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274634359952391833noreply@blogger.com
