Easy attribution for images
I’m at a seminar at the moment and just learnt about a quick, easy way to give attribution to images. Visit this website which allows you to search for creative commons images. It also gives you the attribution which you need to include with the image on your blog. You may include it with the photo or add it under the photo.

Steps to follow:
- Search for photo by putting in a tag eg sumo or Tasmania or fishing
- Click on photo you want to use
- Click on “edit image in-house”
- Click on “Add attribution” if you want it included with the photo - see my picture on the right
- Right click and “save picture as”
- Follow normal instructions to add images to your blog
Be careful, though, when adding the attribution to the photo. What has gone wrong with mine?
Thank you for showing us this site - it will make it much easier to use photographs in our posts
Hip hip hoorray!!!!
When you get to step 5, if you want the direct link back to the original photo and not where you have saved the picture to, then do the following. Right click on the picture with the attribution included, go to properties and copy the URL. Then you can go straight to the blog and insert using the green tree - add image and put in the URL there.
