My exploration of copyright and fair use has led me to the realization that despite being somewhat careful, I’ve not been within bounds all the time. I’ve gone back through the archives and cleaned up a lot of my old poetry postings in which I included whole poems. Thankfully this blog isn’t very old!
Next step: images. I need to go back through and weed out some images I’ve posted here, oblivious to whether they’re copyrighted or not. At least when it comes to quoting I’ve had some experience with how to incorporate others’ words in a way that properly acknowledges the source. But when it comes to images, I’ve been totally clueless!
So I had to change my header, and while I was at it I changed my tagline that was excerpted from an e e cummings poem. It didn’t seem to fit with this un-green image. This tagline comes from Eudora Welty; I explain it on my about page.
Hopefully this is the last time I’ll have to overhaul things for awhile! :-) I’m all for change, but this is enough for now.
I’m putting some links to helpful info on copyright & fair use in my sidebar, under the heading of Helpful Resources.
I really like the new image on your header.
