Pictures in blogs

    What pictures do you use in your blog and how do you go about getting it?

    Do you use your own stuff, buy if off a site like Istock or just go into Google images and try it then?

    You can do searches for creative commons licences with certain images, sometimes you can grab photos from flickr is they have a CC license and then ask the owner still if you can use them or how you plan to use them.

    I guess you could buy yourself a batch of pics from the stock photo sites wihout spending too much, but there are sites where you can use an image for free and just attribute the owner.

    So you could use:

    flickr
    stock photo sites paid
    stock photo sites free
    search in google/yahoo advanced features for creative commons licensed images.

    On my travel blog I use my own images, of course

    On my learn to earn blog, I've just started using stock images from Yahoo after someone suggested images would help the appearance of my site

    depending on what the topics are the Associated Press has some really good free images, as well as Yahoo! News.

    I don't know if this will help, I guess it depends on your niche, but figured I would throw it out there anyways.
