best of luck to you! i upvoted you , and as long as you post original content you will start gaining again, it will take a while just stay positive and keep at it ! also if you can use others pictures but you need to give them image credits as to whos picture it is , and if you get some information from a news story or whatever be sure to include the link to that story and you should be ok ! good luck! just dont totally copy someone elses story , use parts of it but make it your own with your own meaning.
