Changes Coming

Hmm, I noticed that Flickr has now changed the wording on their web site and automatically adds a copyright to anything I upload to the site. Many things I do upload to my page for use on my blog, like the Family Many photo in the post below, I do NOT hold the copyright to. When I try to just link graphics from another site, Blogger tells me that I must hold the copyright to the graphic, too. I'm going to have to figure out what to do for future posts. In the past, when everyone had their own web page on places like Geocities, the owner usually encouraged you to download the graphic to your own computer and not link to it, that it slows the loading rate on the web site, to just take it and upload it to your own site if you want to use it, so most of the graphics I have on this computer came from sites like those. Unless the owner embedded a copyright or did a watermark, I have no idea where they came from right now to give credit. I'll have to pay attention to other blogs now and see what they're doing.

In the meantime, I added the little not that the photo below is copyright Family Auto Mart 1999, because that's the year I got it from a local Orlando web site back then, maybe even the Family Auto Mart site itself. I have about a dozen of shots from that site, most publicity photos, others scans of free photos handed out to people, even postcards.
