Creative Commons and Image Attribution 
It’s a requirement of all Creative Commons licenses that you attribute the original author. This means you can’t just use a Creative Commons image without correctly acknowledging the person who originally created it. Within or at the end your blog post you must:

• Attribute the image .
• Include their Copyright information .
• And you should link the photo back to its original photo page.

The next one is an example of image attribution:

Adding Images from Compfight to Posts
 Here are two options for finding Creative Commons images:

1.  Compfight plugin - is a quick tool on all Edublogs Pro and CampusPress blogs to find and add Creative Commons images with attribution.
2. Compfight website - if you don’t have access to the Compfight plugin then you can search for Creative Commons images on their website and upload the images to your post.

 Free and public domain images
  There are websites that provide public domain images that are free to use, or have their own free to use licensing. Some of these are licensed with a Creative Commons license and means there are no restrictions on use and no attribution required (although it can be polite to still attribute a Creative Commons Zero image).
Public domain works are those works that:
1. Automatically enter the public domain when created because they are not copyrightable.
2. Their copyright has expired.
3. Their creator has assigned their work to the public domain.
Public domain images are free to use and available for unrestricted use.
