As usual, the internet has the solution. Using Flickr, I can find interesting, apt, and free pictures. For example, the image in this blog is from Flickr.
As a good netizen, I'd like to give proper credit to whoever has generously created and shared this image for anyone to use. For any image I post (if all has worked well), you should see a few things:
- a clickable image that links back to the original.
- a creative commons attribution.
- a credit to the original artist linking to their flick account page.
As you might guess, getting this image with all the proper credits is a bit more difficult than just cutting and pasting, but it's not so hard either. Here are the steps I take.
- Do an advanced search on Flickr.
- Enter your search terms.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and make sure you turn on all these options (Only search within Create-Common-licensed content, Find content to use commercially).
- Click Search.
- Click on one of your search result images. It should bring you to another page. Copy the web address.
- Go to http://www.imagecodr.org/get.php, and paste in the web address.
- When you hit submit, you should get further validation that the image is free to use, and some html code that you can cut and paste into your blog.
