Keep it legal - photos
Part of being internet savvy is knowing when to acknowledge where you found a photo or information for your blog post. If you haven’t written it in your own words using your own imagination, then you probably got the idea from another person.
To keep it legal, you need to say where you got the information from, whether it be another website on the net, a magazine or newspaper you read or a book you borrowed from the library. The thoughts and photos are not yours; they belong to someone else and it is your responsibility to mention them in your blog post.
Sue Waters who writes The Edublogger which you can see in your dashboard, has written a great post about acknowledging photos under Creative Commons.
You need to complete the following for EVERY photo you use (unless it is your own photo)
STEP 1 Find photo with 
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License. Right click on photo, go down to properties then copy the Address (URL)
STEP 2 Open your ‘Write Post” page and click insert image into post (green tree )
- paste in image URL
- add description
- add alignment
- put 5 in vertical and horizontal boxes
- now click Insert
STEP 3 Click on image and resize - width about 200 pixels if right aligned.
STEP 4 Now go back to page where original photo is and copy the page URL (at top of page not on photo)
- back to your post and click on image then click on insert link button (chain)
- paste in the URL
- set target as new window
- now click Insert
Final step Adding text attribution under photo or bottom of post
Photo by majamom (highlight name then insert link to page URL) licenced under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 Generic
