Image Information

When you use an image for a blog post or a webpage in this class, you need to include image information as follows: (1) there needs to be some kind of caption or description of the contents of the image, and (2) there needs to be a link to the web source where you found the image. See the image above for an example of an image caption and a web source link.

 

Images you create : If you are using an image you created yourself (a photo you took, a drawing or a painting you created, etc.), then you do not have to provide a link to a web source. Just make sure you provide a title for the image and give yourself credit as the source for the image. Here's an example:

photo from January 2013.)

 

If you used an online tool of some kind to create the image, please include a link to that tool. Here's an example of a meme created with an online tool:

In addition, please pay careful attention to the following guidelines:

 

LINKS TO WEBPAGES: The link to your web source MUST be a link to an actual webpage (usually the file name ends in html or htm). You can NOT just link to the image file (jpeg, gif, etc.).

 

Example of a webpage link - GOOD - click on the link to see a webpage:

Charlie Chaplin, Modern Times, 1939. Web Source: Rotten Tomatoes: Charlie Chaplin Quiz.

 

Example of an image file link - BAD - click on the link and there is only the image again:

Charlie Chaplin, Modern Times, 1939. Web Source:  4109409_std.jpg.

 

DETAILS IN CAPTION: You may need to do some image research in order to come up with a good caption, especially if you are using a work of art. If you are using a painting, for example, and the web source where you found the painting does not give the artist's name, you can use Google Search-by-Image to find out who the artist is in order to include the artist's name in the caption.
