Copy-write
My tutorials and descriptions belong exclusively on MY blog. They are my intellectual property. No one may repost my blog content without my written permission. I’ve spent a lot of time working on these projects, and writing about them, so I don’t want them living on someone else’s site. That being said, linking to my project is perfectly fine and I encourage it!
Only bloggers (individuals who write their own content) are welcome to take ONE photo and link to a project of mine, meaning the specific post it came from. You must pin my images from my website! Do not use my photo and pin it from your blog, that is not fair to me. Additionally, your readers should be encouraged to pin from my blog (or any original source) instead of yours. Even better, please deactivate any pinning options from my pictures.
No one else is allowed to use my images without my written permission. Any corporation, business, website, or any entity wishing to profit directly from my content, must have my written permission prior to use. If you are interested please contact me: liz@smartgirlsdiy.com
