I recently started using a Tumblr blog, and I wanted to use an image(or images) for the background of my blog. However, I kind of know due to copyright laws there are only so many I can use. I wanted to use images from this site, but I don't know if I can. They offer free images but they're for desktop backgrounds.
Here's the site: http://www.desktopnexus.com/
However, I talked to someone, and they helped me find these two sites that say these on their FAQ/Terms of Use-like page.
FreeFoto: http://www.freefoto.com/browse/99-05-0/Free-Use-Rules
StockVault: http://www.stockvault.net/faq
Both say that you can use the free images for blogs as long as they are for non-commercial use. However, I know that I plan to review books on my blog. I don't plan to make any money from it but I do plan to review books and other things like that.
I don't mind giving credit for the images on blog but I'm still kind of confused over what I should do in order to use an image.
Would I just be able to say/give credit in the description or would I have to do something else? If so, what?
Would I only be able to use FreeFoto and the other site(not Desktop Nexus), or could I use all three?
I found this on adding image links: http://tumblring.net/tumblr-image-links/
