Concerning Pictures With Bad Links
Dear Readers,
I have used a number of different stock photo websites during the life of this website, and over time a couple of them have bitten the dust (currently this would include Can Stock Photo and Fotosearch).
If you click on any link in any attribution of a pic from these sites, it either leads to a polite message about how they have ceased operations, or just takes you to the site's homepage (rather than a specific pic or a specific author's page). I purposefully included the links to the sites above so you can see for yourself exactly what I'm talking about.
Luckily, none of this affects my right to use photos I've purchased from any of these sites, so there's no need for me to lose any sleep over it.
It's just that I'd rather not have readers innocently clicking on any such bad links and end up wondering what's going on, or thinking something on my site is broken. So, I have gone through my entire website and removed such inoperative links from the pics themselves and the names of the authors, and replaced the links to those particular stock photo websites with a link to this page that explains the situation.
May God bless and keep you!
— Greg
