Task Navigation 

Share


You've added the photo to your blog post or web page with attribution. Now it's time to share!
Although it is not required to let the author of the photo know that you used their work, it might be a nice thing to do by leaving a comment at their Flickr or blog page.
 
You may also want to share to expand your "open" network using social media, eg. "I found the perfect @creativecommons licensed photo for my post on LOLCats using @Flickr!" or "I found the perfect #publicdomain photo for my textbook @Wikicommons thanks to a #schoolofopen challenge @P2PU". Many people are interested in how to find and reuse photos, and sharing the story behind your own search is sure to solicit some excitement. 
 
Lastly, share your thoughts on the process of finding and attributing a photo here. What did you learn? What did you find frustrating? Do you have feedback for how this challenge can be improved?

    Since my edits to the original photo were really just for this course, I won't bother letting the original author of the very nice husky photo know about it. But in general, I think it's an excellent idea to let people know. 

    When people mark one of my flickr photos as a favorite it feels great. I imagine getting an email from someone who is actually re-using one of my photos will be even better. Maybe inspiration to try and take better photos ;-)
