and get a new menu that includes &#8220;Usage Rights&#8221;.\u00a0 Again, you should definitely check the originating page and verify that the image really is freely available before using it.\u00a0 Google can make mistakes!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oh, and please remember <a href=\"http:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/2010\/05\/05\/dont-copypaste-images-into-your-posts-pages\/\" target=\"_blank\">not to copy and paste images into your posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve enjoyed reading your posts this week!\u00a0 It&#8217;s great to see how Nebraska libraries are using your websites to promote programming, provide reader&#8217;s advisory, or just share information with your users.\u00a0 Incidentally, if you&#8217;d like to see what other libraries are doing, it&#8217;s easy to do so with this RSS\u2026<\/p>\n<p> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/2015\/09\/04\/finding-images\/\"><span>Continue reading<\/span><i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":192,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[29],"class_list":["post-1814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging","tag-images"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/192"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1814"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1825,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1814\/revisions\/1825"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/libraries.ne.gov\/projectblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
