Casual Attributions

• You must always give credit for quotes, ideas and intellectual property, like artwork and photography.

• If you don't, you are plagiarizing — worse — you could be prosecuted for stealing intellectual property.

Give credit for quotes and paraphrased information with an attribution + hyperlink to the anchor text. 

• • Example: According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, a magnitude 3.7 earthquake struck Ukiah on Aug. 2 and "occurred at a depth of 3.1 miles."

    • 'According to an article in the Los Angeles Times' = attribution

    • The fact that it is linked to the article = hyperlink (clickable text) to the anchor text (text that is referenced)

Give credit for images by listing the artist's name and linking the image to the source.

• BE CERTAIN THAT THE IMAGE IS FREE TO USE AND SHARE! 

  • Check out these sites for free, beautiful photography: Unsplash and Pixabay

  • If the image is NOT free to use and share, even if you provide attribution, you are breaking the law if you use it.
