One of the things we'll try to cover today is how to put images on your blog. Not something that seems that hard, really. Just fire up Google Images and you're away. However, there are problems with using the pictures you find that way. We'll talk a bit about that today and about how to find images online that aren't copyrighted. One option is Flickr, which is a great photo-sharing site and a brilliant source of non-copyright images - via the Flickr Creative Commons page. We'll look at Creative Commons a bit and what it means and go through some ways to find images there. In the meantime, there's a great guide to finding images on Flickr on Skelliewag.(Incidentally, the rest of the site is worth a look too). There are various sites online that have stock photos you can use for free. Blogsessive has a good guide. The best known of the stock photo sites is probably stock.xchng. EveryStockPhoto is a search engine for free photos online. PicApp is an interesting site which gives you access to the latest news/celebrity pics, in exchange for embedding ads on your page. If you want to do a blog with this kind of imagery on, it's probably the safest best, though it is kind of irritating.
