RE: A dirty big secret of Blogging on Steem (and my solution to come clean)
Good morning. May I say that I'm not a professional blogger nor even good but one thing I know for sure....all photos are mine and stories I tell are almost all true but real. And that's the truth. You are welcome to check my page out @islandliving. I enjoy reading your post and that's one cute kitty. Aloha!
Thanks! You have a good idea where you obtain all of your photos... from you.
Those who blog about finances, politics, and TV shows have it a lot more difficult to come up with images. These people have to rely on "fair use" and whatever they can scrounge up on the Web about their topic... otherwise, they would have a media empire or artist skills to make a nice blog post.
A friend of mine, @papa-pepper, only uses his own photos... up to a point.
One day, he needed a logo to represent "him." Well, you know what? A fellow Steemian created him a logo, a set of avatars for his family, and did some nice graphics work.
Can you do that for yourself? People with a 74 beside their name do that.
I am admitting that I am not a graphics artist. The junk you see on my posts that I create takes a lot of time... or otherwise, it's cute kitties and puppies from stock artists. And in those cases, I get them for free.... the original photographer will never know me or get a $0.01 from me.
Is this social media? Or a sad story of abuse?
You decide!
I would love to have my own logo but honestly I don't know how. Ah yes, @papa-pepper...he's awesome! Thank u for your reply. I'm still learning this platform and the politics of it all. Aloha!
