Tomorrow: Hillerman and Write What You Know

It's a thrill when readers pass along blog links from Jean Purcell and Opinari Writers and Author Support blogs. I hope you will Tweet and "Like" more links.
    Topics here and at Author Support aim to spur writers like you in knowledge and commitment, to deposit something of value into your information bank as a writer and Christian. To give you good perspectives from professional views, life experience, and other talented writers is my pleasure. What you write--whether nonfiction, fiction, poetry, drama, or articles--can deeply affect others in many good ways. What a thought!  
     Whatever value you see in these blogs, please share the links as Tweets and Facebook Likes, and other networking ways. I really appreciate that. It is the best! I hope we all thank God for guiding us to write.
     See you here again soon. If you are not a Christian, you too are welcome here to inquire and also to read writing tips.

Sincerely,
Jean
P.S. A closing positive: 
     ... Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life. Hugh Sidey

What You Need to Know about Non-commercial, Free Photos

A breakdown of the different types of CC licen...Image via Wikipedia

Pie chart attribution-ShareAlike 3.0


You need to know how to use photos copied and saved from photo sites, beyond the technology. Copyrights come into play, so you need to read the terms and conditions every time. Some photo sites include a variety of permissions. Always give attribution for your photo sources on blogs and web sites.

Know your rights; learn the meanings and conditions for use of combinations of CC, Creative Commons, photos, as in the pie chart at left.

Save allowed photos to a computer file.

Look for graphics that enhance your ideas, information, and presentation.  

Flickr, Photoxpress, and other online photo sites have free photos. I have used Photoxpress for Baltimore Examiner articles. The article template helped meeasily insert photos and attribute them. (Baltimore Examiner is folding now. See article link, below.)
