Very often, I get emails from people writing to ask me if they may use material from my site for school papers, building their own websites and for publicatons. But even more frequently, I find websites that have blatantly stolen text, the layout, and images from my site with never even asking and never even crediting my site. I have spent a great deal of time developing my site and find it incredulous that people are so inconsiderate. Some have even hard-linked into my images, therefore using *my* server bandwidth to serve up images on their site. Below you will find some guidelines about using materials from this site.

Never, ever hard link into someone else images.
This uses their server's bandwidth and is totally inconsiderate and rude. Further, anyone who is hard linking into my material will not only be banned access to the domain, but will also be banned with their ability to link to my material. Hard-linking is considered bad netiquette (net etiquette) across the board. Don't do it.

Always credit the site you have used materials from.
I do not require you to specifically request permission to use text, images or sound files, however I do require you to credit all material and information from this site. This can be done either by footnoting or linking to the web address.

For goodness sakes, please be original.
Can I tell you how many Jayne Mansfield, Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable sites exist now based solely on images they stole from my site? There are a lot. A majority of them have no links back to Bombshells. Do you really think you are serving the Internet community with rehashing what has already been done? No. If you use any materials from this site, or any, be sure to make them have your own perspective.

Finally, when crediting the site for use in web sites, term papers or publications I only ask that you note "from Dawn Marie, Bombshells.Com™."
