    Setting Creative Commons License for your images

    Here is a neat way to include Creative Commons copyright license terms in your gallery.

    BACKGROUND: Creative Commons license terms are a standardized way to set explicit copyrights. Typically you see "Copyright (c) 2007. All rights reserved". With Creative Commons (CC) you can keep some rights and relinquish other ones to let others use your images or other media in some sort of capacity. This allows you to play on more friendly terms with others, in the spirit of good will and sharing but it also offers you the benefit of potentially increasing exposure to your images. A typical (CC) license allows otehrs to use your media under the condition that they give you attribution.

    For more about Creative Commons, please see: http://creativecommons.org

    HOW TO: Go to the "License your Work" page and set the type of license you want for your content: http://creativecommons.org/license/. Then click "Select a License" and select the graphic you would like to display. Then copy the HTML code below, which looks like this:

    <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">
    <img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/88x31.png" />
    </a>
    <br />This work is licensed under a
    <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License</a>

    Then paste this code in Step 5 --> HTML Tab (in the lower text box). Your new (CC) license will now be displayed at the bottom of all your gallery pages. If you want to apply the (CC) license just to specific images, then select the image and paste the code in Step 2 --> HTML Tab. It is just that easy!

    The license will appear and behave similar to one of the below:

    Creative Commons License
    This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License.
