iGoogle, though I nearly didn't and Things 4-6

The air went blue as I struggled with last week's  extension tasks and this week's challenges. A verification email went astray, so iGoogle was stonewalling me for sometime, but iGoogle page finally set up and running.  Definately slightly bemused by the choice of things available.  Lots of queries this week:-

1. How do I get an image off Flickr onto my blog?  Lovely articles about the importance of images and how to choose the best one Using images and Incredible-flickr-images  but assume you know how to copy/link/attribute, which I don't.  Anyone know a where I can find a "how-to" blog?
2. Which apps/features on an iGoogle page will prove useful and which are just time-sinks?  Think that uTube will fall into this latter category.
3. What is this Creative Commons license, how do I get and/or display one?
4. If I choose to follow anonymously, is the blogger aware of being followed, but not by whom?  Spooky or what, and is this cyber-stalking?
5. Why has someone from India viewed my blog?  Searching on Google for Alicia's 23 can get you to what appears to be a Swedish lonely hearts website (in so far as I can understand it, as it is all in, er Swedish) so maybe this was just in error.
