Images have the power to act as click-bait – photographs can illustrate blog posts, make your professional website more attractive, and help illuminate a historical topic.  In this episode I discuss using creative commons and public domain images as part of your online presence.  I breakdown the types of image licenses and mention some of my favourite places for finding photographs.

I would love to hear about where folks find public domain and creative commons images, leave a comment or send me a message on Twitter.
