Question: Why is Melissa Peterman credited for the photo with my recipe?

August 7, 2010
I just found that you guys chose my recipe for Blackberry Sage Muffins, for your site and I appreciate the credit. However, the photo is also mine and you gave Melissa Peterman credit for it, instead. Please change this information immediately. To see my original photo, please visit my original blog entry at http://visualtraveler.blogspot.com/2009/06/cupcakes-that-wanted-to-be-muffins.html. Also, please let me know when you have done this. Thanks. Lisa Waterman Gray

Hi Lisa,

I saw your muffins and they look great!! Melissa Peterman just happened to be the one who uploaded your photo to the site that's why it's her name that's in there. You can change this by uploading the photo yourself while logged in Foodista so that it's your name that shows up as the contributor of the photo, and then vote it up as the photo of the widget, and vote down the one that Melissa has uploaded. :-)

Thank you Lisa, I hope this helped!

Amy-

I'm sorry but I don't think it should be my responsibility to change information about the photo. It should never have been listed under Melissa's name in the first place - especially when, strictly speaking, the blog entry was posted without my permission.

Please change the photo credit to my name ASAP and let me know when this has been accomplished.
