I’m just curious, where are all the link-backs to each of these creators? I’d like to know who owns each photo.

You can find all links on the sites in the Reference section. I simply couldn’t link to all of them cuz my browser won’t survive so many tabs.

I was just told to hop on over and check this site out and I see that you have MANY MANY photos on here from bloggers who I am guessing you did not ask permission from to use their photos. I see my porch here and know you did not ask. Bloggers spend a lot of time creating posts and projects for their readers to drive traffic to their own sites and you are just “stealing” their pics with no reference back to where you got the photos. I would not have minded if you one would have asked first or two at least would have put a link back to my blog and all the other bloggers so if people were interested in seeing more they could. I just read YOUR copyright policy and thought it to be funny because YOU have VIOLATED other peoples copyrights by putting their pictures on your site without permission. You are using other peoples work to drive traffic to your own site to increase your earnings. Please REMOVE my porch from your listing since you did not ask for permission to use it or give credit to me or other bloggers.

I may have come off as snippy. I apologize. I will say that though at first it is an honor that you would chose my porch to share I would have rather you have asked permission and INCLUDED a link back to my site. It is just common courtesy. Even on Pinterest everybody’s Pins will take you back to the original source. Please start including credit link backs to the pictures you have on your site. YES it will take a lot more time but honestly it is the right thing to do if you indeed know where the picture came from. I understand it is not always possible to know the source but for those you do please on behalf of all of us bloggers share the traffic and send people back to the source you get your pictures from. I think if you did this then nobody would be getting upset but would feel honored you decided to share. Blogging is very time consuming and it is disheartening when we bogglers do not get credit for our work.

Hello! I see that you found all these pics at my 2011 Fall Decor porch party and thanks for linking back to that post, but I imagine all of those bloggers who pics you are using will not be happy not having a link to their blogs. I wish all of you who compile posts like this would be more careful about linking properly. I know it’s a lot of work, but you loaded a lot of pics!
July 31st, 2012 at 1:02 pm
Please tell me, which one is yours?
August 2nd, 2012 at 5:51 am
Ok, almost perfect…you put my link underneath my photo, however, it can’t be clicked over. http://www.debbie-debbiedoos.com. Dude, not sure what you have going on in this post, but you have to link those porches, one by one, by one..back to the site, and/or blogger or you just can’t have them!
August 8th, 2012 at 7:17 am
Seriously, take it as a compliment already. If you dont want people to look at and share then dont post. Good lord
August 17th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
Sure are a lot of haters on here. If you aren’t proud of your porch and don’t want it shared on the web, then don’t post it on the web. Most people just want porch ideas, they don’t give a crap about your blog.
August 18th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
This is precisely why I hate “mommy-bloggers.” Ladies – GET A LIFE. You’re not that talented, that fancy or that important and neither are your dumb porches. You’re just pathetic. Go back to your little small-minded worlds and crochet something.
August 21st, 2012 at 7:51 am
Lots of great ideas here, can’t wait to try some out. Can’t believe some of these bloggers make such a fuss over having their pictures shared. I say delete them and change it to “89 Fall porch decoration ideas”, LOL!
August 24th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
Relax ladies! If you share things on the net, expect them to get shared elsewhere and why not just be proud if your porch looks beautiful and worth sharing!?!? Also, you can post pictures in way that prevents people from clicking on them to copy and paste(which is what photographers do to protect their material).
August 25th, 2012 at 7:45 am
Wow… I found you from pinterest and boy was I shocked by the comments left by other bloggers! Seriously, if they were a smart blogger and wanted traffic they would simply watermark all of their images before posting to their own blog. That would not only copyright the image but would also give a resource for all images. Rediculous that they would rip you apart like they have. They should be ashamed and learn how become better bloggers.
I enjoyed the post and feel that it would have taken you hours to link back. I use pinterest to pin from original source and then embed the image to my post so that I’m not uploading images and I’m posting the link and image at the same time. Maybe that would help in the future.
Thanks for the post. I will be back to revisit your blog!
Blessings,

If you had any idea how much time and energy it takes to properly “style” and photograph decor projects, edit the pics, and then write and post to a blog you would understand how people might be upset that they aren’t given proper credit.
Of course we want to share, that’s why we blog! But just as an author wants to share a story they still want to be credited with creating it, just as I’m sure Mike would like credit for compiling the images in this blog and publishing this website. I could cut and paste this entire post into my blog but that wouldn’t be fair either, would it?
As bloggers/authors we are here to share and inspire and SUPPORT each other, not use each other’s content to promote our own interests. (And FYI none of my content is in this post, but many of my fellow bloggers are featured without proper credit and link-back.)
August 26th, 2012 at 6:04 am
Hello people! The reason we bloggers get all riled up is because we work very hard on our projects and when we feature other bloggers we always, always link back to the original source to credit the BLOG that did the project and took the time to photograph and put those out on the web. Sites like Shelterness are just trolling the internet, stealing photos and content from other blogs and using it all on their site to profit from others. That is NOT COOL at all! We don’t appreciate having our pics stolen and used all over blogland. THis site is probably making a LOT Of money just by using stolen and uncredited pics, just because they feel like it. That doesn’t make any of this right. You are making money off simply sharing content and pics that are NOT YOURS. You should seriously stop this practice, it is not honest nor does it show integrity by this website.
August 27th, 2012 at 12:00 am
Everyone just needs to chill out! The author referenced the blog that he got the photos from. If someone really wants to know who’s door it is, they will follow the link to the Southern Hospitality blog and go from there…
September 1st, 2012 at 7:29 am
Who cares, people. I agree with carole, and others… Seriously, it’s called the internet with new technology. Use a watermark if you are getting that fussy! All we want are ideas, not to buy your stuff on YOUR blog.
September 2nd, 2012 at 7:08 am
With all this sniping over links and such I doubt I would link back to any of you no matter what. Get a life. What did you expect? You wanted people to see your work and then complain when they do.
September 3rd, 2012 at 9:30 pm
Just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean you SHOULD do something… irregardless of technological advances.
There is such a thing as class. And linking back to the bloggers original post is the classy, ethical thing to do. Yes, it takes time, but not THAT much. And if it takes, TOO much time, perhaps you should rethink the need to share so many ideas in one post.
Character is evident in those that respect others ideas, hard-work, sweat-equity and imagination.
And to all of the readers that commented about just wanting to see the ideas… These ideas are born out of a deep desire to share. We don’t not expect you to “buy our stuff off our blogs”. Most bloggers I know create and write and share out of a deep desire to express their creativity. The income most of us receive is negligible… and if you consider the amount of equity that we put into our blogs, we usually operate at a loss. And we gladly do so because of our sheer love of blogging and the amazing friendships and relationship we make through it.
Don’t be a hater. Have class. Have character. Hold people accountable. Show love and spread peace.

Would you come to my house, open the door and take my stuff? No.
Taking pictures without consent or proper credit back is just that. Theft.
My blog is my house. You are invited to come to my house but not take my stuff. Plain and simple. I have a right to put it out there, and you have a right to peek at it. But not steal it.
It’s a shame a blog like Shelterness does so well by featuring other’s work. At the very least, if you do feature something, give due credit back so both your website AND the artist can gain from it.
Use their work for your gain = feature them back with a link? Seems MORE than fair to me. They’ve done all the hard work after all.
September 4th, 2012 at 5:31 pm
Cutting off the watermark on my pictures and posting them without linking back to the original site? Not cool, Shelterness.
September 5th, 2012 at 11:23 am
Actually nothing was cut off by us…probably by someone else where we found the picture. Which one is yours and where should it link?
September 5th, 2012 at 9:53 pm
WOW! Stopped by via Pinterest. Love the pics & your site. To the ladies (bloggers), spewing forth such venom, GET a LIFE!!! Seriously, anything posted via the world-wide-web, you have no control over how it is viewed, used or copied! So, if you don’t want to risk that then don’t put your crap out there! Goodness!
September 6th, 2012 at 12:49 am
I like this pictures…
September 7th, 2012 at 6:06 am
My what a friendly group! You all should be honored that your photos are somewhere where people will actually get a chance to see them.If you’re so fussy, watermark them properly. It is too bad they were not linked to the original site, that way I would know exactly which ones to avoid.
September 17th, 2012 at 5:52 am
Loved this post and I think everyone wanting a piece of your pinterest pie is just ridiculous. Like stated by others they should watermark their stuff and if they failed to do that, they should just be thankful they can get some traffic from putting their info in the comments.
September 24th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
I can’t believe some of these posts! Hilarious! People who are having a fit over their pictures should get off their high horse. WHO CARES!! It’s a picture! It’s not like they came to your house, took the picture and posted it… Or stole it from your camera! It was posted on THE INTERNET!!! For EVERYONE to see and access! I you don’t want people using it then don’t post it.
Idiots.
September 25th, 2012 at 6:26 am
Hahahaaaaa! The bloggers, aka mommy’s who need to worry about their children and the homemade soap, baby food, and OF COURSE organic diapers (!) Instead of your internet picture, you ladies kill me! It may do you all good to get out of the house, get a real career,and get off of the infamous time consuming blogging, then maybe, just maybe, you may not have a total dramatic meltdown over the “theft” of your picture you posted on the INTERNET!!!! You ladies and your episodes are quite entertaining, to say the very least!!
September 25th, 2012 at 10:42 pm
You people who get on here and whine about the most ridiculous stuff just kills me. Get a job, volunteer somewhere and be productive. Sitting home with nothing to do is your biggest problem. Get a life…seriously.
September 28th, 2012 at 10:09 am
lovely!
September 29th, 2012 at 5:18 am
Came here via Pinterest also… stunned by the comments about ‘stealing’ your pictures. Take the compliment that your pictures are even being looked at. believe me… now that you have shown your true personalities I wouldn’t go to your site even if a link was provided. not feeling much ‘southern Hospitality’ nor do you seem like a happy homemaker and come on pamela- don’t sugarcoat it – you didn’t come off as ‘sniippy’ as you say… you came off as mean. i’m just saying
October 1st, 2012 at 3:20 am
Seriously..its a compliment people…
October 6th, 2012 at 7:17 am
Honestly, about half of these pictures are pretty uninspiring, I wouldn’t link back to them either, Shelterness. The Haters are jealous, gee,they “work hard” sitting in front of a computer and throwing a few gords out in their tract home front yard or baking yet another version of banana bread for their toddlers that no one cares about.
Keep on keeping on, dude.
October 8th, 2012 at 4:02 am
I am not a blogger, but I am so offended for these people at the attack on them. First of all, I think it’s funny that some of you talk about bloggers (or stay at home moms is what it really seems to boil down to) having no life and that what they do doesn’t matter to anyone. I’m not the most creative person in the world and appreciate seeing what others might do. That’s why I go on Pinterest in the first place…why do you use it? The whole point is to find things you like and then go to the sight (or blog) that tells about it. If these people’s lives are such a pathetic disappoitment, then why are you even looking to them for ideas? Why shouldn’t they be upset when someone takes their pictures without permission? I post pictures of my kids on facebook, but if my friends were posting them eleswhere on the internet without my permission, I’d be furious! I realize that kids and a picture of a front porch are two different things, but you get the idea. They are posting those things on THEIR blog and it is THEIR work and no one should be using it without THEIR permission.
October 10th, 2012 at 2:04 am
I love a lot of these porches. I live on a busy street and these days people just like to steal things off of our porch. I put up a wreath and hope every day it’s still there! My favorite of these is the one with the pumpkins cut out to what I’m guessing is the house address. I must say though some of these look like they were just thrown together and the wind carried the decorations on the porch. Thanks for sharing. Some great ideas.
October 10th, 2012 at 10:50 pm
yes it sucks that photos were stolen from other blogs – but one of the main reasons that you should give proper credit and link the photos properly is so that people can go and get MORE ideas from the same artists/stylist/stay-at-home-moms (i’m a stay at home mom. i like blogging. you really don’t need to sink so low as to make fun of that.) … some of these porches are totally not my style, but others i really like. i’d like to be able to see other photos posted by the same bloggers (maybe their porches at other times of the year? other parts of their homes? whatever), and seeing these photos on this blog is a good place to start…
October 16th, 2012 at 7:26 pm
These pictures were fun to look at and I got some neat ideas. I agree that the web is sort of a free for all, but respecting people doesn’t have to be lost in it all. I say to give credit where it is due, and not because it’s a law, but because we all want that from someone else. The sadder thing to me about all this is that we have beautiful, welcoming porches and front entrances, and how many people actually sit there and enjoy it?
October 20th, 2012 at 6:26 pm
Mike,
Would you simply consider linking to the photos you use? It’s really a nice thing to do. Maybe give it a little thought. Please?
Have a great day~
October 30th, 2012 at 9:59 am
Mike, you are doing a great job. The majority of readers speak and they say that no links are needed. I agree. As for you- Pamela, Robin, Jenny. GET OVER IT!!! You and the other bloggers are just peeved because Pinterest is taking away all of your traffic and do you wonder why? It’s because nobody wants to read through all of your boring banter, dribble and garb just to look at a photo when they can easily click on a Pinterest picture, look and move on. If you don’t like your paltry porch and other pics on the web, then put a “No Right Click” code in your HTML ..before I take them and post them as my own.:)
