images: Don't pay for images to use on your blog ever again! - 10/18/11 11:33 PM

One of the biggest quandries that bloggers face is how to use photos appropriately on their blogs. Newbies sometimes make the mistake of thinking that if they see an image on the web, they can appropriate it. No, no, no! That's called theft of intellectual property!

images: Source for Images to use on the Web? - 04/07/07 04:00 PM

Confessions of newer blogger: I have no idea where you all get the great graphics you use in your posts.My blogs tend to look like the white pages of the phone book - all words. That is, unless I happened to take the picture myself.Yesterday I was at Office Depot for supplies and I saw a CD with clip art, including web graphics, for about $30. "Cool" I was thinking. "That should do it."But my 17 year old in-house-tech-support and son, Brian, read the fine print and told me that it was "not for commercial use". <unprintable> The software is now by the … (53 comments)
