I occasionally amuse myself by randomly trawling through Granny's (or now also Mike's) blogroll, or occasionally I get a tip off, and I see that Chertsey is getting mentioned a bit around the place (and that's not counting regular mutual commentors like Minnow).
For example, only yesterday Epiphany spotted Chertsey in the flesh, and confirmed that it was still where I left it, and then randomly blog-hopping just now I found a complimentary little mention from Pickles No. 2... I don't mind people using my photos as long as they're saying nice things. My view - and I don't know if its the most commonly held one - is that if you put photos on the internet, then they're fair game for others to link to, and even to copy - but if it was me, I would always say where I'd got it from, to avoid any possibility of it being thought that I was trying to pass it off as my own. That's the academic in me, I suppose - and besides, it's only good manners to give credit where its due (or of course to absolve oneself if it was a dreadful photo).
It is nice to know that so many people are reading the blog and taking an interest, so thank you all. Now, you never guessed that I have absolutely nothing to talk about today, did you? Better get back to tidying my filing cabinet.

I'm glad you said you didn't mind people borrowing the occasional photo, Sarah. I lifted your back cabin stove picture for one of my recent posts. Thanks. http://jhalfie.blogspot.com/2010/03/definite-article.html
ReplyDeleteNo problem Halfie - esp as you said where it came from. Saw that post!
ReplyDeleteBut I didn't. Many apologies Sarah. I thought about giving credit at the time but only posted the link in the end My thinking is the same as yours; if it goes up on the web it's fair game for one and all to use how they may.
ReplyDeleteNow academic stuff, well that's a little different. There's nothing academic about my blog though.

Don't worry Pete, how could I mind when you said suck lovely things about it?
