I am a real newbie on the computer. I am on a journey to a healthier life. I am about to embark on a world with out tobacco. I thought that doing a daily blog could help. I want to do this in a humorous way. I also thought I could slip in a bit of drama ... just my drama of course. I am a bit limited on funds 1: reason for quitting. so buying your books may be a bit hard.. are they available at the library? Of course I may not be ready for the library till my carvings and side effects dissipate a bit. I haven’t started a blog… I am a real newbie on the computer. I am on a journey to a healthier life.

However, I always think it's helpful to know what I don't know so this is a first step, and I appreciate it. Since I'd like to return the favor, I'll mention that the correct spelling is "rite" of passage, not "right." Other than that, kudos as well as thanks from a former editor.

Flickr allows people who post pictures there to attach a Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/) designation to their photos. Many people choose to attach a CC agreement to their photos that allows you to use the photo on your blog as long as a) you provide attribution with a link back to them and b) aren't profiting from the use. However, you'll need to check each photo you use. If it doesn't have CC attached to it, you'll need to ask permission from the owner. If it does have CC attached to it, you'll need to double-check with permissions they allow. There is a plug-in for WordPress called Photodropper (http://www.photodropper.com/wordpress-plugin/) that you can install (if you use WordPress.org) and you'll be able to search Flickr for CC-enabled photos right from your post dashboard. It's pretty handy. Jil, that’s a great question. Flickr allows people who post pictures there to attach a Creative Commons (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/) designation to their photos.
