Adding a Photo to a Comment

By popular request, I found a bit of free time and added the ability to upload photos of your dishes when writing a comment. I'll explain below what kinds of photos are acceptable and what aren't.

So, the comment form for recipes now includes a field for selecting and uploading a photo. There's nothing complicated about it — just write your comment as usual, click the add photo link, select a file from your computer, and submit the comment.

Now let's talk about which photos will pass moderation and which won't.

What's allowed and what is not."

Copyright compliance is a sore subject across the entire internet. Our site is filled exclusively with original content — meaning all texts and photos were created by us personally. Seeing our own work on other people's sites is a mixed experience. On one hand, it's painful to see our photos cropped and mangled; on the other hand, you realize that nobody would bother stealing something worthless :)

We ask that you upload only your own photos, taken by you personally. Of course, if your neighbor is a great cook and photographer but isn't internet-savvy, no one will mind if you upload her creation with her permission.

If a photo is uploaded with a watermark from another website — that gives us reason to doubt your authorship of that image, so it will most likely not pass moderation.

We look forward to seeing your photo reports of the dishes you've made!
