So… remember when I did the little mini-series on Pinterest?  I know it was only a couple weeks ago, but sometimes things blur and run together and it seems like soo much longer than just a couple weeks.  Anywho, I ran across this post on Corkboard Connections the other day and thought “huh, who knew?” when obviously I should have, since I’m a Pinterest addict user and it is in the Terms of Service I agreed to when I signed up for the site.  I’ll admit I did little more than skim the Terms of Service, how about you?

Have you, by chance, noticed the new little button on the right side bar?  Hint, hint: it says “permission to pin”…  Did you know that you need permission to pin other’s images?!  I didn’t.  Why do you need permission?  Well, because of the rights granted to Pinterest when an image is pinned.  Any images on the Pinterest site gives Pinterest “…a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, re-pin, modify (e.g., re-format), re-arrange, and distribute your User Content on Pinterest for the purposes of operating and providing the Service(s) to you and to our other Users. Nothing in these Terms shall restrict Pinterest’s rights under separate licenses to User Content.”  [Source – Found under Paragraph 1, Section b.]  That’s kind of a lot to grant Pinterest without knowing it or having the right to do so, yeah?

If you don’t want your images pinned, you can add a little html code to your site that will make your images “un-pin-able”.  To disable pinning, in the head section of any page on your site, simply add:

You have permission to pin images from While He Was Napping, both the blog and my Etsy shop.  The only stipulation I ask you to follow is please don’t pin images of my family.  My boys may be cute, but I don’t want Pinterest to be able to sell their photos.  Kay? Kay.

Sorry about the lack of party last week!  We made a super spontaneous road trip.  As in like we decided to go Thursday night.  Then, Little Monkey spent the whole night throwing up (I have the best husband ever, by the way.  He stayed up with sick Little Monkey and the two of them slept on the couch while I took Little Gator and we slept back in the bedroom.).  After that we were debating whether to still go or to stay home.  My sweet honey has a really close friend that deploys this weekend and we were going to see them.  We finally bit the bullet and left here about 6pm Friday evening.  It was about 2am when we finally got to our destination and then we stayed up visiting until 4am…  aww, good times.  If I learned anything, it’s that I am too old and have too many children to stay up til 4am repeatedly.

Anywho, that’s my excuse.  And on to the party!  From two weeks ago, we had some great links.

Thanks to everyone who linked up.  You guys make the party happen.  Stick around and enjoy what others have shared.  I know time is precious and even if you don’t have time to check out more than one link, at least make a visit to someone else…  No one likes to leave the party early so stick around and check out all the cool stuff out there.  Enough of that soap box.  And, let’s party!

Oh, one last thing…  Check out the 30 Minute Meals series that just started.  I’ve got a linky set up for you to share your 30 minute meals too.  Dunno about you, but I can always use new ideas.  Alrighty… annnd GO!
