If you’ve been wondering how bloggers or web designers add photos or graphics to their posts without “lifting” them off of someone else’s site (which is uncool), I’ve got some bookmarks for you to check out. Most of these are inexpensive to purchase the “small” size which is usually fine for blog posts. Beware of completely free photos/graphics as there is usually some fine print to read – make sure you do! Most of the ones I use are around $1. On some of these sites you purchase a block of credit, say $10, then as you find what you need, you purchase a download and the price is in credits based on the size of the photo. Check them out.
