-〉What is crediting? Some of you might ask

-〉It has come to my attention that lately,

-〉some people have not been giving proper   

-〉credits to those who are involve in their

-〉work of blog.. For example, the blog cover

-〉credits, the blog template credits & even

-〉source of some info taken from a site are

-〉not stated in the blog.. This is a violation

-〉of credits and can be called plagiarism..     

⠀⠀:: 𝚎𝚕𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚌𝚊𝚕 ?⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀

-〉Why is it so important to give credits you

-〉might ask.. Well, it is one of the act of our

-〉integrity.. It will also be a harmful act to

-〉the real creator who had worked hard for

-〉it and not be given any credits to it.. So,

-〉today, I'm gonna be sharing on how to give

-〉a real proper credit in many categories from

-〉template credit to theme credits and more..

-〉Welp~ There are multiple ways to credit

-〉someone and there are so many different

-〉categories, so let's take a look on each of

-〉the categories and how to credit em in

-〉each of the categories given.. Leggo leggo~

-〉Alright~ so most of you do use a premade

-〉theme made by someone, either you buy it

-〉from a theme shop, or it was given to you

-〉or you might have requested it.. Well, I had

-〉come to realise that most of you did not

-〉put any credits, on the themes that aren't

-〉made by yourself.. Even the names made

-〉by someone else, should be credited properly!

-〉Well, some made their own themes, and for

-〉this, you need to credit the psd used in the

-〉themes you had made or even a png pack, or

-〉just anything that is not yours.. So how do

-〉you credit them??

-〉It is usually credited via your bio.. IF there is

-〉a watermark, it is a violation if you mess  

-〉with the watermark in any kind of way..  

-〉So, the way to credit the themes or un, is

-〉by creating a hyperlink.. "Themes by [ :link: ...]

-〉How to create a hyperlink? You might ask..

-〉First of all you need to put '[]' these before

-〉inserting the link.. Inside the brackets, put in

-〉the name of the creator, continue with the

-〉symbol '|' and then the link.. Here's how it will

-〉look like in the draft and how it'll look after..

-〉Now, lets take a look at blog covers and

-〉templates crediting~ Okay, some of you

-〉make a request from editors to make a

-〉blog covers for you.. And although, there is

-〉a watermark on the covers, that doesn't

-〉mean that you don't have to credit them

-〉at all.. Some of you need to know why we

-〉put watermarks.. Watermarks are used to

-〉avoid plagiarism.. Therefore it will usually be

-〉placed in a discreet place or difficult to see..

-〉SO! Yeah, this happened to me a lot.. :relieved:

-〉Some people used my blog covers without

-〉crediting me at all, and I have seen how it

-〉had made some people thinking that they

-〉made the covers instead.. THEREFORE.. Do

-〉not take this lightly, cause it hurts me if

-〉someone didn't give me credits for my work

-〉Crediting covers are mainly via hyperlinks..

-〉For blog templates, if you take any blog

-〉templates from TASA or anywhere, they

-〉will be putting links somewhere in their  

-〉templates, so you don't have to put the

-〉credits.. BUT do not remove the link ever!

-〉Okay, I realised, there are a lot of people  

-〉here who love sharing art works or even  

-〉using other Aroha's artwork in their edits

-〉and I understand that sometimes you guys

-〉just wants to share some talents, right?

-〉You can do that, with proper credits.. Use

-〉a hyperlink and it's better to even ask the

-〉creators for permission to repost their art..

-〉This is an example on how you can ask em..

-〉If they don't give the permission, then, do

-〉not ever use it.. Okay, what if you find an

-〉art somewhere in Google? You can use the

-〉site Tineye.com to trace back the artwork

-〉to the creator, if you can't, then you need

-〉to state clearly "ARTWORK NOT MINE" in

-〉the blog so that you will not mislead people..

-〉Some people here love sharing info on Astro's

-〉about Astro's schedule.. But, most of the

-〉info are mainly taken from a website or it

-〉is taken from other sources like twitter or

-〉even from the Astro member's Instagram on

-〉their update.. Do not forget to put the   

-〉credit of source in your blogs as well..        

-〉This is important to show that your info

-〉shared is legit and not fake news.. To have

-〉legit source to your news or info.. So that

-〉Now this goes to our writers.. Sometimes

-〉some writers take prompts or ideas of a

-〉fanfiction from someone else.. Prompts are

-〉usually made by someone to help writers

-〉who are having writer's block.. If you are to

-〉use any prompts by anyone, please properly

-〉credit them, so that their work on coming

-〉out with the prompts will not go wasted..

-〉You see, writing is a little different.. You

-〉are not allowed to create a similar story

-〉line to the original writer.. You can't even

-〉create similar blogs to the original writer..

-〉It's super complicated.. You can however take

-〉inspiration.. If you want to create a similar

-〉blog, ask permissions and put in inspo credit

-〉in your final blog.. Its that simple to credit..

-〉Okay now.. There's also an inspo credit for

-〉you guys to pay attention on.. There is a

-〉very fine line between inspo and copying..

-〉Taking inspo is when you take inspiration

-〉from someone else's blog and then adding

-〉your own flavour and your own colours in

-〉the blog, still having your own blog style..

-〉Do not forget to give credits AND ask

-〉permissions first if you are to take an

-〉inspo from a creator.. If you are not given

-〉permission, do not, use the inspo and find

-〉something else.. Some creator do not want

-〉their hard work being copied and we need

-〉to fully respect that decision made by them..

-〉Okay, finally, crediting via the creator's

-〉rules.. Some creator's have their rules to

-〉those who wanted to use their work or

-〉even take inspiration on it.. Some do not

-〉really care if they are given credit, but of

-〉of course in courtesy, I suggest you put it..

-〉So don't you forget when it comes to the

-〉creator's rules and pay attention to them

-〉as well as respecting them.. You guys can

-〉check on one example of Crediting rule made

-〉by the creator.. For example, Choppy made

-〉co's rules on inspo via co's inspo wiki..

-〉Have a look and understand!!
