  Hi, today is the first time for me to do any blogging in my life. Moreover, I am not sure how citing works for background images and blog attached images; do i have to post the ling of an image at the end of the blog post or is there a certain rule for citing an image that i will use in my blogging posts.

  by the way, I mean images like in Google search engine not an image that I own.

  thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Edit: in the third line, Ling = Link, a spelling error.

  If you know who to attribute the image too, yes, you should give credit to the original artist. To do otherwise could be a copyright violation. Just because you found it through a Google Search, doesn’t mean it’s free for the taking.
