Copyright Issues
Copyright on the internet is a touchy subject.
The best rules of thumb are to always
A) Follow the rules posted and
B) Ask permission
If a site says not to use its graphics, then
don't!! If there's no all-powerful disclaimer, then:
-
Try to reach the author via email and request
permission to use the image; or
-
If you are unable to reach them (say, because
the school won't let you email), then include a link back either on the
page (right below the picture) or on a credits page
Naming Issues
-
Do NOT NOT NOT use any spaces
or fancy symbols ($, #, @, ! for example) in the titles of your
files.
-
Have the names reflect your name and the contents
(eg. "stutzhomepage", "maryslinks")
