Good Day Giantbear
I'm part of the Silver Bloggers’ Community Team.
I have noticed that you use images from a site called "postimages"! Without any statement that these are your pictures used in your blogs, i/we must presume they are not. And the website "postimages" is quite clear about the use of the images on there.
Part of their terms of use:
As content on the Hive platform is monetised, using other people’s ideas or images is considered an offence, which is viewed in a serious light on Hive! I see your account is already on the blacklist of HW, which i do not like to see you on. Though for the just mentioned reasons, i personally can no longer cast a vote on a "Love Story" like this.
To may change all that "hassle", please consider to use free images with no copyrights on it or your own personal pictures, even better. Then i'd like to suggest three websites, that will provide you with good images and the possibility for proper attribution:
I say these things out of respect, so that everyone can succeed and have a positive experience on the Hive blockchain! If ever you feel you "would like some help", come over to our Coffee Corner and we gonna do our best to find "your" solution.
Thanks for your understanding

@mondoshawan the picture I used was a free image. I only use post image to upload the links. I was not aware that I am doing this wrong as it is after all a free image. I have replaced this image now so please can you let me know if this is now correct? I will definitely try and join the coffee corner today. Thank you for the invite.
No it isn't free at all and well enough explained why. As an educator you are aware of all this and that not acknowledging sources is simply stealing and plagiarism. So... 🤷♂
The change in this one picture is a start for sure. Though even this one is made/taken by someone. So if you want to source something properly, giving credit to the creator/owner is easy..: Use the creators name instead of 'image source' and link to their profile on the website they use.
