1. A method comprising:
- identifying, via one or more processors of a machine, a buffer user account of a social network site, the buffer user account configured to publish image posts received from a secure user account of the social network site, the image posts published by the buffer user account visually indicating that the image posts are published by the secure user account;
receiving an image post generated from the secure user account;
identifying metadata of the secure user account, the metadata indicating a pre-configured user interface element assigned to the secure user account;
generating a modified image post by overlaying the pre-configured user interface element specified by the metadata on the image post received from the secure user account;
publishing, on the social network site, by the buffer user account, the modified image post in a sequenced user post gallery that displays posts of other end-users of the social network site in sequence, the modified image post displaying the pre-configured user interface element on the image post generated from the secure user account;
receiving, from a client device of another end-user of the social network site that is viewing the modified image post on the client device, a subscribe request to subscribe to image posts from the secure user account; and

Abstract
An approach for publishing posts on a social network through one or more user accounts with different levels of attribution is disclosed. A secure user account publishes a post through a programmatically linked buffer user account. The secure user account and the buffer user account are programmatically linked. Posts published via the buffer user account can be modified to add attribution image data or other visual indicators of the original post creator.
