Blogging Resources

When I first started this blog, I had no idea what I was doing, but I wanted to learn. So I settled into research mode, and started Googling like a woman possessed. My Google-Fu was strong, and I gained knowledge as I read articles written by experienced bloggers. Thanks to these articles, I was able to find a lot of excellent resources that I rely on. I want to pass that knowledge on, so I’m sharing some of my favorites resources.

To every blogger out there who has been kind enough to share your knowledge with newbies like me… THANK YOU.

Photo Resources

Using copyrighted images without obtaining permission to do so, except when doing so in accordance with the Fair Use Rule, is copyright infringment, and it can be an expensive mistake to make.

Photos on the following sites are licensed under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. What is a CC0 license? The brief definition is:

You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.

ALWAYS read the licensing information on any site you use for photo resources, even if they have the CC0 license, because it’s up to you to make sure you’re using them properly. Some sites require attribution, others don’t.
