image help for thefacebook BCSS page

Post by Joy G »

hi does anyone know of any good websites for images of cacti I can use for the facebook BCSS page name the cacti caption I do. Or would members be willing to allow me to use some of their images.

One other question would I be able to use the photos in the gallery on the BCSS site crediting the photo owner and saying it came from the gallery. Again this would be a good way of promoting the society.

Flickr has a nice advanced search that lets you search just for creative commons licensed photos that you can use however you like as long as you attribute it back to the original poster.

For example: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=cacti&l ... =all&adv=1

To easily use for other searches just replace 'cacti' in the above url with whatever you are looking for.

Then each image has a button above the photo on the right hand side that lets you 'share' the photo with html or bbcode you can cut and paste.
