Re: [lace] pinterest question
I was looking at this last night and the link was a yahoo one, which led to a photo album in which I couldn't even find the photo of the angels, or any connection to Sherry's website. I had found the photo by doing a search in Pinterest under 'bobbin lace angels' and the copy of Sherry's photo I found said where that person had pinned it from. Going to that person's boards, she has probably tens of thousands of pins (over 2000 on one of several marked as crochet!). There is only one board of 'lace' and the angels weren't on that, but she has several named generic things like 'handwork', 'handicrafts' and 'things I'd like to make' but as it was getting late and as she has so many things pinned it was hard to know where to start looking. I'm not sure quite how she uses her own pins as there are just so many, how does she re-find things that she was interested in enough to pin them. Or perhaps she spends so much time searching and saving, she never has time to look at them again :-) I am too new to Pinterest to know how to follow the trail back to the Celtic Dream Weaver website, but obviously somewhere along the way the link was broken. Is it possible that the photo was 'stolen' from Sherry's website and placed in someone's photo album, and then perhaps taken from there and posted in other places before it got as far as Pinterest? And it's in one of those moves that the link was lost? Jacquie in Lincolnshire. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] pinterest question
Hi All I've just done the same thing and got back to a 'yahoo images search'. If the person in question has copied it from one of the 'images' pages on yahoo or google then it probably has been 'spidered' by them and the original site doesn't always show! However, as I have a page with 'lacefully elegant' in the title on Pinterest, I'll put your photo up there with your permission Sherry then it may just propogate round the world with a link back to your site!

[lace] pinterest question
When pinterest started a few years ago, people were pinning photos with no indication where they came from. A lot of people complained to pinterest, including me. At some point within the last year (I can't remember exactly when) pinterest changed its policy and how its software works. Now any and every pin gets posted with its source posted just below it. This happens automatically, without the pinner having to do anything to achieve this result. If a photo of mine or yours comes up on a google search, and you click on it, you get a little box which gives you the option of viewing just the full size image, naked without comment, or you can choose to view the web page the image is from. The web page is the source, such as your website or mine. Since pinterest made this change in how it functions my attitude towards them has changed, and I find it quite useful. I'm using it to collect good pictures of historic and modern laces. I'm often searching for illustrative examples for lace identification. There are others on pinterest with the same interest. Sometimes I pin their pins (when they have found something I hadn't seen) and sometimes they pin my pins. Either way the source address gets attached.

[lace] pinterest question
Sherry -- I went to pinterest and did a search on the name of your website. In the upper left hand corner is a search slot that works on pinterest content. I pasted the link to your website into the search slot. It gave me 6 images from your lovely tatting. All but one had a link to your webpage under the photo. The one that didn't -- I clicked on the pinner's name and that took me to her pinboard which had the photo of your 3d flower. And that page had your photo with your website link below it. Sometimes the chain to get back to the source is a little long, when pinners take pins from other pinners. For myself, so long as the viewer can get back to me as the ultimate source, I'm OK with it. But I do realize that not everyone will agree. You could think of it as a form of flattery. My web host has an activity statistics program on his server. It tells me where my website visitors come from, where they got the link to my site. During the last year I have seen the number of visitors coming from pinterest grow exponentially. Pinterest is now a major source of traffic to my website. That ain't a bad thing. Lorelei - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] pinterest question
Today I was looking on pinterest for the first time and I saw a picture that I know is on my website that someone must have taken. When you take someone picture like the three bobbinlace angels on my website aren't you suppose to put where the picture came from. I guess I am confused as to how that works. I didn't see anything about me with the picture but I know it is mine. Are some of you into Pinterest. What are your thoughts on it? Is it just something else out there programed to take your information that is on the interent and spread it around to where ever they want to with out saying where they got it? Am I lost here?

Re: [lace] pinterest question
When you pin a photo, it links back to the website that you pinned the photo from. So while there might not be anything in the description, when people click through, they go directly to your site.
