Using Pictures Not Your Own For Your Blog Website
Recently, I have been looking at the some of our members' newly-minted sites / blogs and have noticed these frequent mistake.
We know that having pictures, especially those very well taken ones, in our blog posts or landing pages will make our site more lively and interesting.
However, many of us forget that if we download pictures from the internet, we need to cite or reference them.
I have included two links for you to read up about copyright infringement and how to cite / reference an image.

"However, many of us forget that if we download pictures from the internet, we need to cite or reference them."
That's not necessarily true. Some images are licensed in such a way that they do not require any attribution.
From the http://pexels.com license page:
"It's hard to understand complex licenses that is why all photos on Pexels are licensed under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. This means the pictures are completely free to be used for any legal purpose.
The pictures are free for personal and even for commercial use.
You can modify, copy and distribute the photos.
All without asking for permission or setting a link to the source. So that attribution is not required."

Thanks for the info. Alot of us don't bother to go and read the photo-licence page. So, better to protect ourselves, just in case.
Cheers!
