AAArrrgghhh - an update

Yesterday I posted a thread saying that I'd come accross a web site which had blatently lifted images from my own site and used in their own gallery. With support from you I contacted her and this morning recieved a reply, pasted below;

First of all sorry, i really did think all the pictures om my web site were a mixture of Istock photos and also my own work. I quite often trall other florists websites for ideas ect... Looking at your web and mine i can see some of the images and i will remove them immediately. I can only think that my own personal idea file has somehow mixed in with my web pictures.
I do apologise, i will remove them.
Suzi Francis


Not completely convinced I believe that there was a mix up, but hopefully she'll think twice about doing it again.

Thanks and best wishes!

Well done you! Yeah ok, it is a lame excuse but at least she's removed them straight away rather than a week later.

Hi
You could alternativily just put a postcard size card with your logo and address etc... "inside" the picture as your taking it.
