Free photos for wordpress

    Can anyone recommend a good site to get free photos to replace the existing photos in a wordpress template? Is it advisable to use free photos or would it be better to just buy photos to be used for your website?

    Some of the stock image sites start off quite affordable, $1-2.

    If you use flickr images you need to see if they are under the creative commons licence, if not then contact the owner to see if they will grant permission to use their images.

    Flickr is the best option. Go to Advanced search, and if you want to use them for commercial purposes , make sure to check the creative common licensed pics before searching. Also do not forget to give credit to the owner of the image in your post.

    Cheers.

    never just 'take' images off the internet, it's almost always copyright infringement...

    Use services like istockphoto.com, web-size images are only $1 and the quality is compatible to Gettyimages & Photodisc!
