Many people are unaware of what is "theft" of graphics. Many people do not understand the difference between what is allowed to be done with graphics and what is not. Here are some basic out lines of what you can and can not do with graphics on the net: Uploading graphics from one Graphics site to any other Graphics sites, is considered redistributing. Redistributing graphics with out the artist permission is STEALING! Photo Bucket is NOT Public Domain and many of the graphics there are there without the artists permission. Many people do not realize that they should set their albums to PRIVATE to keep their Pictures and graphics from being stolen. Many do not realize that if they are collecting graphics they like in their albums they are also allowing those graphics to be stolen if their album is not set to PRIVATE. That is very unfair the the artists of those graphics because many people do not realize that PHOTO BUCKET and site like it are NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. Photo Bucket is NOT a good place to get graphic resources (graphics you can use to make graphics or layouts). If you use graphics from Photo Bucket chances are that you are stealing somebody's hard work, or Personal Pictures. If you are using graphic creation sites such as Blingee or Imikimi to "make" graphics even if you crop off the site name, it is stealing if you redistribute them by uploading those graphics to other Graphic sites. Those site are for making PERSONAL graphics for use on PRIVATE sites such a family web pages, memorial sites ect. only. DO NOT use graphics found on Glitter-Graphics to "make" graphics or layouts, it is STEALING and against the TOU (terms of use)of the site. PERSONAL USE ONLY means you can use the graphics to decorate and send to friends on personal sites such as here on GG, MYSPACE, Private Family web sites and private memorial sites. Taking a graphic and "altering" it (adding a background, frame, wording or covering over parts such as the signature tag) does not make that graphic yours, it is still stolen unless you have gotten permission from the original artist to use the graphic. Do Not use any art that you do not know who the artist is or where it is from, and always give credit the the artist who's work you use. There are many sites on the net that provide resource artwork for making graphics. Make sur to always follow each artists ToU. Thank You to all of my friends that have made me these wonderful graphics! I download and save EVERY graphic made for me. I have a huge amount of computer storage space :) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Hi Siabhra,
Thanks for the really sweet note. I will always be here
for you, my friend. I know we are "online friends," but
for me...a friend is a friend. There have been friends
who have left G-G, some without even a note, and it left
a big hole in my heart, as I love all my G-G friends. So,
once you are my friend...you are always in my heart and I
will always keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Now, on
the subject of your graphics. GIRL!!! Your tags are
ALWAYS wonderful and even what you call "simple" are so
pretty and thoughtful. So, just do what you have time
and energy to do and you will see that everyone here will
cheer you on! Now, give yourself a hug and say it is from
Rita and have a wonderful evening.
Love and Hugs, Rita

Cicero the Roman thinker quoted .." Friendship improves happiness and
abates misery, by doubling our joy and the dividing of our grief. He
really understood the double benefit of friendship along life's journey
friends are important. Friends serve as confidants , counselors,
and burden sharers. Think about your friends. Have you been neglecting
those God has provided to share your joys and sorrows? Seek out
your friends and have a fellowship with them. After all .. "Friends
are flowers in the garden of life". They somehow add a little joy
to the day! Just to let you know that I value our friendship and
would like to wish you this ...
I pray your day is special
Your evening full of peace
May happiness envelop you
And all your worries cease.
There's nothing more rewarding
Than a friend so kind and true
That's why I take this time to send
A Special "Hello" to you.
Thank you my friend for all you send
that penetrates my heart in many ways.
I am richly blessed by all you do
with loving kindness every day
GOD BLESS YOU
