Can we make a board rule?

That you must PIP and not just link AWs to your blog. It's happening more and more. At least one PIP to entice us to click on your link. If people like what they see, they'll go to your blog to see more--I promise. Otherwise, it feels like it is just a way to get people to go to your blog to increase your daily hit number.
Re: Can we make a board rule?
I agree. At least one picture would be good.
Thumbs up from me.
(I'd use the icon, but Chrome won't let me. I always thought people just didn't know how when they said that.)
Agreed!
Yes, yes. Completely agree!

I think most regulars post at least one PIP with a link to more. So I think your pleas will fall on deaf ears. Know what I mean?
But yes, that'd be nice.

I agree..but I am "hopeful" that those who are beginning to habitually only link will hear our request
And you "only linkers"--I am no longer clicking to see what you are AWing. Post a picture or you don't get any JL love!

I agree! (especially since I now know how to post a PIP, lol).
And I 100% agree about the first-time Pinterest invite requests....
Agreed!
I love seeing all the different things people PIP, but even worse than people looking for blog hits, I am just plain lazy. Instant gratification, plz.

In all honesty - if you don't have a PIP, I am NOT clicking on your link. Especially if you have a low post count.
I think it is a way to get the hit count up on a blog - or you want people to go to your blog to click on ads, or in worse case - it is a virus/spam thing.
Plus, if the pic on a blog, it is so easy to PIP, since it is already on the web, and therefore no need for tinypic

The difference I see between you and others is that you participate and so I will click on your link. We would love to see pictures though. You could use photobucket to upload pictures.
To PIP from your blog ...
Right click on the photo you want to PIP and click "copy" (or just ctrl+c)
In your post, right click and click "paste." (or just click ctrl+v)
It is that easy.

I had NO IDEA that you could just copy and paste a picture. If I would have known it was that easy, I would have posted pics all along. You know how many hours I wasted trying to get tinypic to work?! Thanks for the hint...and my last post was updated with a pic. I need to figure out sizing now....but I'll work on that another day.
It depends on your browser. For me (Firefox on a Mac) I need to copy the picture URL by right click, then "Copy link" and then click the little tree icon at the top of your compose post box. Then paste the URL into the image URL window. Resize by entering width and height as needed.
Agreed - on both these counts. I mainly lurk these days but man, the pinterest invite posts are piling up! And I crack up when I see the requester has only 1 post - eyeroll!

This. The Pinterest thing really urks me. Especially when they get a reply that a invite was sent. It just encourages others out there to do the same thing.
