Giving Credit

You must credit me on your page for images taken. There are a number of alternatives that you can use.

Option 1

A text link to my page on each and every page in which you use one of my images. It can be as simple as:

Rainbow Fairy by Amanda Penrose.

This link can appear anywhere on that page.
Code:

<p>Rainbow Fairy by
<a href="http://amanda.dd.com.au">Amanda Penrose</a>
</p>

Option 2

You may link the image itself to my page, but you must also have a text credit (linked or unlinked) somewhere on that page. This must occur on each and every page in which you use one of my images.
Code:

<p><a href="http://amanda.dd.com.au">
<img src="imagenamehere.gif" alt="Image by Amanda Penrose"></a>
</p>

Option 3

I would appreciate the use of one of my linking images somewhere in your pages. You might like to have a small simple text link on the actual page(s) in which you use my images, and place one of these images in your links page.
Code:

<p><a href="http://amanda.dd.com.au">
<img src="amanda.gif" alt="Images by Amanda Penrose"></a>
</p>

Explanation of code
  • <a href="..."> Creates a link to the page specified, in this case, my homepage
  • </a> Ends the link
  • <img src> Tells the page where to find the image. Make sure it's looking for the image on your server, not mine. (i.e. that there's no http://...etc. in this section)
  • alt Gives an alternative text which is seen by people who can't see images - for example, visually impaired users. It's a really good idea to have this for all images within your site.
