How to write attributions for the Creative Commons licensed images you use on your blog

My quick recommendations:

1. Link to the source page.
2. Provide the image title, creator’s name, and license (link to the license if you can) as a cap­tion or in the “title” attribute:
   “Agatha on the porch” by Flickr user Kristopher Nelson, used under a Creative Commons Attribution-​​Noncommercial-​​Share Alike 2.0 license.
3. If the licen­sor asks for a spe­cific attri­bu­tion, do what they request.

The gen­eral goal is to pro­vide credit to the source, along with infor­ma­tion to your vis­i­tors on the image’s license. (See also the Creative Commons FAQ.)
