In this movie, I want to keep talking to you about some of the basics for images and where you can get those images from. One thing I can do is resize my Contribute, open up another program that I've got an image in, and right now I'm in Microsoft Word, that's where I've got this image. I can grab it with my mouse, and I can drag and drop it over here. Notice where my cursor here, and notice on my arrow I've got that little rectangle that means something's connected to it, so I pulled it from here, and dropped it over here. That's like a cut and paste. Now I could actually copy it, let's insert another picture, this time let's select that image, let's right click on it, copy it, come over here, and then we'll paste it. So you can drag and drop, or copy and paste images from one program to another. Now if you need images, you can go online and you can just search for any image you need. If I need pictures of flowers for my website, I can search for flowers, and Google Images is where I'm at, that's one place where you could get some pictures to copy and paste into your Contribute. I can go to Morguefile dot com and search for some photos in there, and again it will bring me up whatever options they have. These are little thumbnails I can click on them and view the larger image. I can go to Office dot Microsoft dot com and go to their images area and search for images there. I've got lots of options. The one thing you have to be careful of when you're searching for images, is be aware of copyright issues. Make sure you read that information before you use the photo or the image in a live site. Sometimes they'll give images free to non profits, or for non business use. They'll sometimes let you just have them for free for personal use. Sometimes you have to refer back to the photos creator or the images creator so you need to make sure you read that information. If you don't want to mess around with finding them, you could always go to someplace like iStock, you could actually purchase those images to put on your website, then you don't have to worry about copyright issues. You've purchased it, you've paid it and you can put them on there. And of course you don't have to worry about if its your own photos. You go out and take those photos. So take a minute, look around, find some websites where you might be able to find some images for your website.
