When you upload the image to your blog, add an attribution in: This will allow people to see the attribution when readers hover over the image. The image alt tag The image title tag Either in a caption or a note at the bottom of the post, list who took the photo and include their photostream (if they request this). Treat infographics, SlideShares, and other visuals the same way: Try to uphold image quality when republishing the content. • Use an embed code when possible • If an embed code is not provided, you may include instructions such as, "click to enlarge" Include a link to the original source's website where the visual lives.
