  Well, hello!

  So, I want to keep my blog clean as a whistle. Sadly, I have zero skills, photography-wise, and my blog looks incredibly empty sans images.

  I have two questions for you pls, easy one first:
  1) Can I link to youtube video’s? I see everyone doing it and I’ve searched the TOS and it seems okay. But, yea, just want to make sure on this.
  2) Creative Commons. I found one on flickr which looks extremely intriguing. Again, based on the TOS, do I link back to flickr and put credit on the image? Can I even use creative common images?

  These questions may seem obvious but…well, again, just trying to keep everything above board and ethical. And TOS never seem clear to me. It’s me, not the TOS.

  Anyway, a million thanks for your help, assistance, wisdom.

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