Technically, you're not attributing the site, you are attributing the
organization behind it. This is acceptable if the author allows it.
Some sites may make such an attribution license a requirement of posting
(e.g. through terms of service, etc). It makes sense when it's a
collaborative project (imagine showing a still from Elephants Dream, and
having to list the entire titles as the photo credit -- it's a big help
that you can just say "Blender Foundation" (if you read the license
details in the package, this is explicitly allowed)).
Cheers,
Terry
