Kāore te kumara e kōrero mō tōna ake reka

The Kumara does not say how sweet it is

This weeks things have been combined and I will put them under the term acknowledgement. The whakatauki this week is applicable not only because this is the salad course, but because it reminds us that it is our job as researchers and users of original materials, ideas and concepts to acknowledge the work of those that create the materials we are using. 

For this weeks exercise I found on the creative commons.org site this wiki which is about best practice for attribution and where I got the idea for how to acknowledge where I got the kumara image from. 

I have to admit that I didn't read our exercise for the week properly at the start and found a cheat from a website called ImageCodr where you put the flickr picture url into a box and it will generate html code with the image and the appropriate Creative Commons Licences. You then add the html into your blog and hey presto you get the picture below it is from Flickr and is a place close to my heart called Anaura bay on the East Coast of the country where my Nanny (Grandmother) grew up.

I was going to use the cheat until I read through our exercise and saw that we were to download, upload and acknowledge the original creator including the use of the appropriate CC licenses... Gosh lucky I went through the things again.
