    Hello :)

    Okay....I've started this blog and I'm wondering...where can I get cool pics for my blog? It seems like everyone has this pic secret -- they ALL know where to get the good pics!!! I know of sxc.hu and they have some really great ones, but I'm wondering where else I can go. Any suggestions?

    :) Abby

    flickr has the facility to search for photos licensed under the various Creative Commons licenses - http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/. You'd need to provide a link back for Attribution. And you would probably have to steer clear of any images under the NonCommercial version of the license. But that still gives you a lot to choose from.

    I usually just use sxc.hu or buy them from stockxpert.com or istockphoto.com.
