  I’ve included a picture from Wikimedia Commons, which is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License, on one of my posts on my blog.

  I’ve given attribution to the picture’s creator and I just wanted to make sure that I’ve given the correct credit to the picture creator and that I’m allowed to have this image on my post.

  Here’s the post I’m talking about: http://wp.me/p326TT-Rw

  Thanks,
  Tom

  As far as I’m aware, I’ve followed all of the rules noted on the Creative Commons site and I’ve used Wikimedia Commons’ advice as well.

  Do you have to link to the photo creator’s website or anything like that as part of the attribution?

  Thanks,
  Tom

  You have to do whatever the terms of use state you have to do.

  Ok, thanks for your help. I’ve just copied the attribution text from Wikimedia Commons, so I should be ok.

  Thanks again,
  Tom
