Directions to provide attribution while using Studeous.com. 

I'm very excited that I've found an easy (well, kind of) way to give attribution (credit) with creative commons photos.  I'll post a Jing video explaining how to do this.  As always, use the grandmother rule (if you wouldn't show the picture to your grandmother, don't post it).  Also, talk to your parents before using the Flickr search from home.  

 Attribution Generator: Use the code generated here to add to the HTML (HyperText Markup Language).

Flickr Creative Commons Search:  Use this site to find creative commons photos.

1. When you find the picture you want from the creative commons search, click the picture to make it large, right click (ctrl + click on a Mac) the picture, and select copy image location.

2. Go into your Studeous blog post, click on the picture icon , and paste the image location that you copied in step one.  Click insert, and the picture will be inserted into your blog post.

3. To provide attribution for the picture, click on the Flickr address bar, and copy the image address.

4. Paste the address into the attribution generator, and copy the HTML code it creates near the bottom of the page.  The HTML code will look something like this:"who said you could do that? by ?????? ??????!
Attribution-NonCommercial License

5. Go back to your blog post, and click on the HTML button in the blog editor.  You will see the HTML code on th page.  Paste the code you've copied in step 4 and click update.

6. That's it, you're done!
