One of the very first things that most people want when they create websites is pictures and other media. Visual is GOOD. It delivers PUNCH to your pages and gets people coming back to your site. Add audio and Video …Look Out WORLD!
Most of us are on a tight budget, so when we go looking, we usually look for media that is free.
When we 1st start looking through search engines, what we run into immediately is that most images and media all have copyrights. It’s way not cool to use copyright media .. especially if your website takes off and starts getting thousands of “hits”. Some one WILL hunt you down and make life unbearable!
So… my very 1st tip is where to find Creative Commons free licenses for media files.
My good friend Rob Heppell of http://www.FuneralFuturist.com fame sent me this tip on Facebook. I think it’s a great, so I’m sharing it here.
