I am still relatively new at all of this, and I was both relieved and embarrassed when another user politely pointed out to me that this went against both etiquette and flickr's official guidelines.

I'm not sure if they have relaxed the policy. I tend to be over-cautious because of that.mimi khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14658909469026112809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067417910686705520.post-29876866144773409352010-02-15T17:45:25.556-06:002010-02-15T17:45:25.556-06:00Thank you Carina for the above post.

I was totally honored the day that Florista invited me to join! I have found SO much inspiration within this flickr group and on Feeling Stitchy that it's insane!

If someone really likes a work, they'll do the footwork to seek out the blog and/or shop link provided in a profile.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774731830512685102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067417910686705520.post-12015969794574651372010-02-15T02:34:53.894-06:002010-02-15T02:34:53.894-06:00Oh I never do that, but I just did that on my last...Oh I never do that, but I just did that on my last couple of pictures. I had no idea about the policies, but thank you for letting us know! I don't want to sabotage the group in any way! :)Diana https://www.blogger.com/profile/17224404867214558821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067417910686705520.post-65441042319097199712010-02-14T17:31:25.112-06:002010-02-14T17:31:25.112-06:00I think there is a fine line on this policy.

The description of the photo occasionally links to somewhere that an item can be purchased, but the purpose of uploading the photo is <b>not</b> to make a sale/promote my shop/make money. <br /><br />I think one of the wording of the policy bans Shaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790672276299454901noreply@blogger.com
