It’s no secret that I love Beyonce.
But how can I legally use photos of her in my site?
STOP – wait a minute!
If you’re not sure why you can’t Google Image Search “Beyonce” and right-click save, READ THIS FIRST.
Okay, I get that copyright is important!
Getty has a bank of images that you can use, so long as:
- It’s not used in advertising
- It’s not used for a magazine or book cover
- It’s embedded and properly attributed.
How do I that?
STEP 1: Go to Getty Images. Use the search to find the photo you want to use.
STEP 2: Find the embed code at the bottom of the photo.
(If there is no embed code, you need to find a different photo.)
STEP 3: Copy the embed code (select standard code, Ctrl-C)
STEP 4: In your WordPress post, add a new block “Custom HTML”
STEP 5: Paste the embed code (Ctrl-V)
STEP 6: Publish your post and enjoy basking in the sunshine that is Beyonce!
