I took down around one hundred of my own blog posts today because of the insecure nature of Flickr. Even with my recent addition of those pesky watermarks, there were around three hundred images that had no watermark.

Some of you think this is no big deal, and I understand. I still plan on selling my images at some point in my life, and with my images out there running around, I was a bit nervous after reading this article.

I simply marked my entire flickr account private from about April 2008 (that is when the watermarks started) back to when I signed up for flickr. I don’t blame this on flickr, but the nature of the internet in general. Now all my images will carry a watermark, and if they are posted elsewhere, then I will just consider that an ad for my site.

Thanks for understanding, I will repost much of my previous content with some meaningful articles, and new content.

Thanks,

Tony
