Figure 3-3:
Don't be afraid to use a little humor when selecting a topic for your Tumblr blog.
For additional ideas about collecting and creating content, see Chapter 8.
One important thing to keep in mind when collecting content from others is
copyright. Because presumably you don't want to make anyone mad or get sued,
it's a good idea to include some kind of disclaimer on your blog about material us-
age. For example, on charmingly addictive The Baby Animal Blog website at
ht-
tp://thebabyanimalblog.tumblr.com
, shown in Figure 3-4, the author has
posted a disclaimer that reads, “I take no credit for any of these pictures.”
There are many different ways you can word this basic idea, of course, but here's a gen-
eral suggestion of what you might want to say on your site:
DISCLAIMER: All the [pictures/videos/songs—you fill in the blank] featured on this
website belong to their respective owners. If you see your [pictures/videos/
songs—you fill in the blank] featured and do not want it here, please email us with
link and we will remove it right away.
