Credit Guide - Tumblr Posts

Sorry if uve said this b4, but do u need credit if i use ur blinkies? Again im sorry if u said this b4 im new to tumblr and idk how tf this works

hi- yes but also no.

To elaborate:

I've only posted a few blinkies that I've made, and all of them were made with blinkies.cafe, which is super easy and is really just adding text to a template. I definitely don't need credit for these. Feel free to use them.

All of the others are ones I've found. If I give credit in the post, you should give the same credit if you use them. Many of my blinkies, however, are either from geocities (old company that hosted websites, no longer exists except via the internet archive) or I can't find who made them. Feel free to use these without giving credit to anyone, unless someone dms you claiming them.

Basically:

you never need to credit me, unless I post something I've made and I specify that.

Give credit to the makers whenever possible: even if it's not required, both the artists and collectors appreciate it.

geocities finds typically don't need credit; they're usually 20+ years old.

If you make a mistake and someone asks you to credit something, do it and move on. This happened a lot early on for me, and still sometimes. Most people aren't "mad" persay, they just want credit.

Hope this was helpful. I plan on going into more depth about this kind of thing in an internet guide I'll post in a couple of weeks.
