 [|5 Sources for Free and Legal Images | The Blog Herald] Suggestions for getting free images for blogging (includes using blogging plugins and browser add-ons). Of particular interest here is the Firefox add-on Zemanta which generates free images to use both in blogs and email (some are low-resolution images from various sites for free use with the agreement that Zemanta will insert automatic backlinks on the images to the original site.) By hovering over each image, you can check the licensing on each image before using (some will be noted as candidates for "fair use" rather than public domain or GNU). || [|Flickr] - Recommend using the following settings under the //__**Advanced search**__// when looking for CC images to use:
 * **Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content**
 * **Find content to modify, adapt, or build upon**

[|Imagecodr.org] - works in conjunction with Flickr to help students use attribution correctly
 * excerpt** -"..you simply enter in the (Flickr) URL of the picture page (as seen in your browser) you are interested in and ImageCodr.org will generate the ready to use (attribution) HTML code. It will also display a brief and easy license summary, so you don't get in legal trouble because you missed something."

[|The Flickr Commons] - (includes "no known copyright" photos from institutions such as The Library of Congress, the Brooklyn Museum, Bibliotheque de Toulouse, Smithsonian Institution, Musee McCord Museum and many more)
 * excerpt** - "Participating institutions may have various reasons for determining that "no known copyright restrictions" exist, such as:
 * 1) The copyright is in the public domain because it has expired;
 * 2) The copyright was injected into the public domain for other reasons, such as failure to adhere to required formalities or conditions;
 * 3) The institution owns the copyright but is not interested in exercising control; or
 * 4) The institution has legal rights sufficient to authorize others to use the work without restrictions."

[|A Flickr CC Search Toy] -
 * excerpt** - "This is a wee test search for creative commons flick photos, click on the thumbnail to see a small image and get the code to embed the photo with attribution on your blog. When you see the code you can toggle left/ right alignment and small/medium size. If you are allowed to you can edit a large size in picnik, you will need to handle the attribution for this yourself." (suggestion: use [| Imagecodr.org] above to help with attribution)
