Just in my own personal experience, retailers tend to be more willing to let you use their images, since you're promoting their product. I would still note where the image came from in my post and when in doubt, go ahead and ask them if they have preferences for image use. Retailers also sometimes have a page on their site detailing trademark info and providing logos, etc. for media use.

Stephen & I fell in love with that show and watched the first two seasons very quickly. It's so addicting and the characters are so engaging! Granny is our favorite :)
Help, I'm in love with a costume drama.
So, Downton Abbey, right? As usual, I'm slightly (fashionably?) behind the curve, but I started, and finished, watching the first season yesterday. And I have a confession to make: various friends who have been blessed with good taste have been after me to watch it for months, and it was totall...

Hi Cookie -
We understand your concerns and we appreciate that you want to protect your content. However, I want to make sure that it's clear that protecting your content is ultimately up to you - we're the hosting provider, you're the content creator. Basically, if you don't want people to have access to your content for re-use, the only way to make 100% sure that doesn't happen is to not put it online.
We know that Pinterest isn't perfect. As Melanie mentioned, it's a beta service and we're sure they're working out a lot of kinks. We're not affiliated with them in any way, so we're not privy to the goings-on there. However, we think it's a great way to share photos, ideas and beautiful things in a central way - the same way that people share text on Twitter or images on Flickr. It's just another way to get eyes on great content.
I would encourage you to reach out to Pinterest with your concerns. We heard a HUGE amount of feedback that our users wanted a Pin button so we provided that. If you have issues with the Pinterest service itself, they'd be better able to help you there.
Thanks!
Announcing The Pin It Button on TypePad!
Pinterest is a "virtual pinboard" that lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. Whether you're planning a wedding, remodeling a home, looking for new recipes to try, or simply want to collect and share the things you find inspiring, Pinterest is a fun and easy way...
We're keeping the Shop open beyond the holidays, so you're welcome to submit whenever you'd like!
Weekend Project: Setting up Shop
Yesterday, we announced that we're looking for independent retailers to list in the TypePad Shop. We will launch the shop just before Thanksgiving so if you want to be included before the holiday rush, be sure to submit your shop soon. You don't have a shop? No worries! You have a whole slew of ...
If you want to link to the books on Amazon or another retailer, I would just create a Page and insert the images and links there. The above tutorial is more useful if you're using the grid to link to posts within your own blog.
Weekend Project: Grid-style Posts Layout
This weekend's project is inspired by Rachael Herron's blog Yarn-A-Go-Go. Specifically, Rachael has set up her Books section to use a grid format for the book covers and blog post title. Each post then has a detailed synopsis, links to purchase the books, and reviews. If you would like to di...
I read somewhere that The Satorialist guy said he's tried to take pictures of fashionable fatties but they always think he's fucking with them, or something, so he's stopped trying. I think you'd be better suited for that type of project and with how much you're out at shows and stuff, I bet you'd get a lot of great pictures.
The Chubby Sartorialist
My gorgeous sister Kelly, antiquing in Grand Central, 2008 I spend most of my life without a stitch of makeup on, barefoot in jeans and concert t-shirts, but when I get fancy (don't get excited - for me, fancy means changing clothes and putting on mascara and lip balm), my boho side makes an ap...
The "list-style: none" bit of CSS is what hides the bullet points. Did you happen to edit that out of the code?
Weekend Project: Displaying Recent Photos in Advanced Templates
Warning: geekery ahead! If you're an Advanced Template user and want to add even more fun stuff to your blog, this post is for you. If you're a Basic Templates user and want to display the photos recently added to your blog all in one spot, you already have this functionality available as part o...

I only really wear them around the house and to walk the dog, so I think my feet should be safe. I wouldn't run a 5K in them or anything.
LOVE these boots
These boots aren't my usual style but man, putting these on at the end of a long day is the best. They're also great when the dog drags me outside in the morning and my feet would really rather stay in bed. The sides are open so they can accomodate wide calves and the foot is wide, too. These t...
