My advice might be bad advice. While I work hard to harvest images from Commons sources, my opinion on memes is they are shared images of pop culture. Most of the memes I use are standard templates from meme-creating sites that have been redone countless times. Sure Dos Equis might have issue with us using an image of the Most Interesting Man in the World, but why would they? It is because of memes that the brand is forever solidified in our culture. I also make a lot of my own memes using meme-maker sites and my own images.

But I keep seeing images that are screenshots from movies or celebrities (Britney Spears, SpongeBob, Loki, etc.). Where are you finding those, and what are the licensing issues with those? I keep looking at them thinking how awesome your memes from them are but thinking they can’t possibly be royalty free images, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t from flickr. I have tons of similar things I’d like to do because they definitely add a lot of personality to a blog and make the reading very fun, so if you could point me in the right direction here, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

This actually shakes my foundation up because there are a lot of long Facebook statuses I’ve written before I even had a blog that could have been blog posts, but I can’t find them. I have to rely on Facebook’s Memories function to possibly show me some that I’ve written.

Next time I feel a nice long rant on Facebook about something, or have some kind of inspirational advice to give, I will make it a blog post so it’s not selfishly tucked away for just my friends and family to see.
