Follow the given instructions step by step for applying the first method i.e using images under creative Commons(CC).
1)Go to flickr search page(Search)and enter the keyword on the search box,hit the "Advanced search" now.Remember you must click advanced search option.As the other page opens up,scroll it down to the end,check( )the two boxes that say "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content " and "Find content to use commercially",finally hit the search button.
2)All the photographers that appear are available for commercial use i.e couldbe used on your blogs/hubs/lens/websites.All you need to do is to give a link back to the photographer.
3)If you want to crop the image or want to bring some modifications in it,you could have been checked the third box also that says "Find content to modify, adapt, or build upon" besides checking the other two boxes.
4)You may change the results by clicking "Most relevant,Most recent or Most interesting" view bar on the top.
5)Finally,click on the photo you want to use,save it first in your computer,and to give a link back find the photographers profile page.You will get something like http://flickr.com/photos/username.So under the image you may add a line like: 1)source or 2)photo crdit;(and give the link to actual picture or the profile page)
