Also, if you plan on making money from your blog or music, you should also check "Find content to use commercially". And if you plan to alter any of the images, then you have to check off the third option. <BR/><BR/>I prefer to check all three, but the minimum (to get free photos) is just the first option. All you've got to do is link back to the profile page of the author of the photograph, and you've fulfilled your requirements.<BR/><BR/>When you're on the individual page of the photo you want, right click on their username on the top right (below the search field). And copy the link to their profile page. On your own site, link to them like this:<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>Photo by <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/veryloudcolors/" REL="nofollow">veryloudcolors</A><BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>And that's all. Of course, you could always just search on Google but I prefer Flickr because it's a site dedicated to photography and the quality and size are much better. Also, I find I'm more likely to find EXACTLY what I'm looking for since Flickr lets users tag the photos.<BR/><BR/>So, to recap:<BR/>1. Go to http://flickr.com/search/advanced/<BR/>2. Type in search terms, check off the first "Creative Commons" checkbox.<BR/>3. Find a photo.<BR/>4. Link back to that user's profile page.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
