How can we correctly credit an image in a blog post?

We need to be able to put the the persons name (with a link to their Flickr profile) and also a link (to the Creative Commons 2.0 licence page) CC 2.0.

This is something that I'm sure many, many people require, it's a basic facility that's required in today's world.
We don't want to claim that images are ours, if they are not.

We want to correctly credit other photographers.

Please help?

Hi T,

May I know which editor will you be using in EasyBlog?

You should be able to insert image captions for images that can be used to credit the source.

Hi Raymond, yes I've just worked it out. I have to use basic HTML and paste into the caption field for the image.
I'm' sure there is an easy way of doing it but I can't find any other way.

I'm using the EasyBlog built-in composer.

After bringing in the image I then turn to the right-hand column and in the Image Caption field I paste/type my html caption that contains the link to the photographers site and the Creative Commons explanation page.

I'm surprised that there is no editor tools to enable us to type the caption and then click on a link tool to input the URL.

But thank you for your reply anyway.

regards,
Terry.

Hey Terry,

You may credit the source at the end of the content instead of the bottom of the image if you want. But unfortunately currently there is no easier way to insert links in the image caption.

Regards.
