how to credit

[squinting_icons]

*edit* This isn't meant to scare you guys. It's simply something I posted that will stay in memories in case someone needs help figuring out user pictures and/or how to change keywords and such.

Guidelines for Crediting:

Ideally, I would really like for you to credit all of my icons, friends only banners, or other graphics you may use in your journal. This lets people know who made it in case they would like to use it themselves or obtain something similar, and, more importantly, it also gives them a way to find their way to my journal.

That said, if the icon is just a photo without any text or embellishment, I'll try not to chase you down about crediting UNLESS YOU SAY IN A COMMENT THAT YOU WILL CREDIT ME. If you say you're going to credit, please actually credit me...

If the icon does have text or embellishment, I ask that you credit either squinting_icons or squinting_kitty in picture keywords, picture comments like I've done with my personal icons, or somewhere in your userinfo.

Feel free to modify any icons or use them as bases (unless the post says differently). Please mention that the base was created by me if at all possible.

DO NOT CLAIM MY ICONS AS YOURS! Hopefully you were indignant at me having to tell you that.

DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE MY ICONS ANYWHERE. This includes, but is not limited to, "stolen icon" communities. If I find you doing this, you will be taken off of my friends list, and I will notify the proper people.

First, read this. If you still don't understand, keep reading.

To upload new user pictures, you will first have to go to the upload/edit pictures page. You can add/delete pictures as well as change their keywords and comments from there. Or you can go to the edit pictures page to edit keywords or picture "comments."

Put "squinting_icons" or "made by squinting_icons" either in the keyword box or in the comment box. See diagram below:
