I’m happy to be spending the weekend in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, at the Wisconsin Parents Association’s 28th Annual Home Education Conference. A new workshop I’ve been getting ready to present this year is DIY Blogs, and I plan to show this post at the workshop as a way to begin (and as a way to bring up the topic of fair use of images). 😉
If you have lingering questions about the public domain and fair use of images for blogs, a timely resource to share on this Free Comic Book Day is the online comic Tales from the Public Domain: BOUND BY LAW? (from the Center for the Study of the Public Domain). My personal two favorite sites for free blog images are stock.xchng and Wikimedia Commons.
I remember watching The Millionaire Matchmaker and Patti Stanger referring to Minnesota and Wisconsin as Oshkosh Nowhere. My future father in law is from there! I am glad there is civilization! 🙂
