Credit your Images - A Guide for new Users
My mission here is to help you learn how to cite your images like a pro
As I was wandering in the steemit wilderness, I saw many articles from various users without included sources of images. Did you know that when we post a picture that isn't ours without image source, we commit plagiarism? Plagiarism can get us flagged and other sorts of bad things.
I will show you step by step how to properly cite this image:
The default code for this picture is:
If you want to link your text to an URL you need to write following:
[text](URL)
In text section, we can write "Image source" or any other words that make sense. In URL you need to put the link of your picture. That link, in this case, will be:
https://blog.spectrocoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/steem.jpg
This is how final form should look:
[Image source](https://blog.spectrocoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/steem.jpg)
Afterwards you can add center command to centre your picture and text
<center>
[Image source](https://blog.spectrocoin.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/steem.jpg)
</center>
Image source
After that, decrease font of "image source" text by using command sub
<center>
<sub> [Image source](https://blog.spectrocoin.com/2017/03/steem.jpg) </sub>
</center>
Did you notice any difference now?
I hope that you will be able to apply this and that it will help you with your future posts, in order to make your article more successful!
Steem on!
