You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.

This Friday's question :

Confess your blogger sins! Is there anything as a newbie blogger that you've done, that as you gained more experience you were like — oops?
Oh man....

 First off, I'm still a Newbie. I'm in Blogging Kindergarten.


And boy have have I already made a good few mistakes. But after reading Rachel from Parajunkee's answer. Weellll, I just commited the same sin a few posts ago. I used images off the general internet!

Tumblr's a site for sharing! No harm taking pictures of off there right? Boy was I wrong. I did a little research this morning and I need expressive permission from a person before using a picture whether it was meant to be shared or not, if you're not sure, don't even go there.

 Thank you Parajunkee and Roni Loren, for your respective articles/posts about this. So yes if it's on a public domain or under a creative commons license, you can use it with permission.

So now I need to ask you. What do I do about the pictures I've already posted?

See anything on this blog that shouldn't be done? Please let me know so I can immediately make amends before you or anyone else can sue me!!

    I recently heard about the google image thing and now I'm wary about the kind of pictures I use on my post. It's so nice of you passing the info to others. :)

    Yes, that post from Parajunkee scared me, too! I just saw everybody else using images, and I wanted them, too. :)

    I'm going to have to do more research on this, as well.

    Thanks for visiting my blog and following. I'm following back!

    I'm definitely leery of borrowing images from the web. I had the same thoughts as you!

    I think its easy to make that mistake...since I am guilty of it too. That's why I make sure to post on my blog where I get my pictures (Goodreads, shelfari, librarything) and if I have used someone else's picture without permission to let me know so I can take it off. You just never know with google now a days.

    I've recently done that! I took an image off google to use for one of my weekly events and after today I realized, I can't do that! LOL Well, at least now I know!

    I guess the safest thing to do is to use one's own pictures.

    I hope you will never get in trouble for the images. I think Copyright is something that's a learning curve for all of us new bloggers!

    Thanks for dropping by My Book Musings"
