Permission to Pin

February 24, 2012

I’m breaking the Good Blogger rules to post a second time today. Sorry!

There’s a new issue going around with Pinterest because of a line in their terms that says you agree to only pin your OWN images or those images you’ve been given permission to pin. Teachers bloggers and store owners are granting permission through their blogs and the red pin button you now see over on the right side of my page. You can find out more by clicking the button.

I think Pinterest is a great way to share products, freebies, and ideas. However, I think it’s wrong to pull pictures off of someone’s page and post the pictures on a different blog before pinning them. I promote always pinning from the original source so it links back to the original creator. So in order to avoid any confusion, YES you may directly pin away to your heart’s content from my blog, Facebook, and store pages.

Pin, pin, pin away! Have a great weekend, too! =)
