How you discover and use images on your blog

Posted by: Justin Parks In: Social Media| Wordpress

Finding and using images correctly on your blog can be a lengthy process to begin with, we all have an idea in our heads what we want the photo that represents our information to be and reflect then we can spend considerable time looking for it in our documents, trying to take a photo or as the vast majority off us do, grabbing it of the web.

Its not a simple process of just ripping off photos though. In fact that can get you into the deep stuff if you don’t respect the licenses and agreements laid out by governing bodies such as Creative Commons.

Instead of me going on about it though, my good friend Seth Simonds was one step ahead (as usual) and posted this excellent guide called “How I Discover & Use Images On My Blog” which definitively covers the process of carefully selecting photos or images for your blog and the issues and attributions that should be given.

Nice one Seth, saved me the bother of writing one myself, so I’m all smiles here. :)

    Good stuff...thanks! You have a mis-spelling in your first paragraph. The word off in the last sentence is missing an f.

  • I usually don't use many images but sometimes, I would grab a few CC images and edit before I use them.
  • Great article Justin. Thanks for passing along. I have been concerned about attributing credits to photos and artwork on my blogs and this helps tremendously. Not to mention the added benefit and ease with which we can now find compelling imagery for our articles. Happy compfighting!
