@jeremyknight I use the Flickr Advanced Search (http://www.flickr.com/search/advanced/) and check the box for Creative Commons to get images for my blog.  Then just be sure you give a link back to the photo as credit – read the description as sometimes people are ok with just a link to the photo on Flickr, but others have more specific instructions such as linking back to their website.

I recommend installing Zemanta.com in your browser. As you type your post, Zemanta reads it, and gives you a choice of copyright free images to use. Many of these come from Flickr or the Wikipedia.

Thank you for the tip @anitacohen-williams

@jeremyknight Here’s an example of how I use Flickr images:

I use the ALT tag to credit the owner of the image and clicking on the image takes you to the Flickr page where the image came from.

Hope that helps!

@boxcarmarketing thanks for the tip! Looks like a great tool.

@deereinhardt Hi Dee, I’m not sure but here are the links to the support thread for the plugin. Someone there will have more tech expertise than me. It might not be correctly associated with your wordpress install.
