reference for picture

hey, I can’t make any reference for my header-pictures in a post. I use the twenty-sixteen-theme. does someone have an idea how to add a reference or at least a licence to a header-picture? if I write s.th. in underline or title, nothing happens.
thx!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello,
I am not really sure what you mean when you say “reference”. Can you share more information on what’s happening? I will do everything possible to get the bottom of this and help fix it.
Thanks.

hey,
thanks for your fast answer. I mean a source of a picture, this could be the name of the photographer or an url and like mentioned I would like to add the licence (creative commons..) of a picture. In the backend of my wordpress-page I can add an underline ot a title for a picture, but if I add sth. here, this does not occur on the blog.
Thanks for your help! -

Regarding using your own images on your site please read on. See: Prevent Content Theft https://en.support.wordpress.com/prevent-content-theft/ What’s best for your wordpress.com hosted blog is watermarking your images or not placing any images and/or text that you don’t want stolen on the internet at all.
If you use the Duotone theme right click is disabled via CSS but that’s not available on any other themes. This is because anyone can find instructions on the internet and get around it in less than 20 seconds flat.
