Need Pictures for your Blog?

Thanks for showing this info...I will use them!!!

Toni, thanks for an additional photo source. Always looking for more when I don't use my own.

This is another lovely morsel of information...THANKS !

Toni -thx for the resource.  I'm always looking for new resources for pix, especially free and legal ones.

will check picapp out thanks -- have used the others for years.

Always glad to find new sources. Interestingly enough, I didn't realize it was okay to use Flickr if they weren't copyrighted.

Thanks for the picapp tip.  I'll check it out. I also like to take my own photos and use www.istockphoto. The small size is only $1.

Toni - thank for the info. I am not one to use a lot of photos or use them when they are my own. I may start adding photos if I don't get lost in the search (lol) of the photos. It does take time to find the right photo.

I wondered where so many great photos came from.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the info - I mostly take all of my own photos.

Hi Toni,  Thanks for the source and also for the review of legal use of pics.  Off I go .

I will be checking these sites out.  Thanks for the tip!

I took a look at picapps and may be able to use it for some of my blogs.  Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know about PicApp.com. From my personal experience (unfortunately) I know that Flickr considers AR blogs commercial, therefore you can't use their pictures, even with full attribution and link back to the author and all the other rules of "creative commons" license. Flickr could close ones account without notification and you could lose all your photos. I assume that if PicApp says only for noncommercial purposes -they view "commercial"  the same way as Flickr. Google images come from different sources, and usually require permission of the photographer in writing. Like Katerina I use Iclipart.com to avoid any ambiguity about the allowable use.

Thank you Toni. As much as I like free pictures, I believe that we should shoot our own. They might not be perfect... but they are ours! Stay clear of legal responsabilities and accountabilities to the authors of those pictures, they might be free today... and not tomorrow. Once is posted here, it stays here forever!

One of the biggest challanges we found at Initial Underwriting posts has been the use of pictures.  It seems that normal un-html messages deliver the message a lot easier and more powerful to the average clients.  Correct me if I'm wrong, people like to have the simplicity sometimes.

Toni...

Thanks for the tip, I'm always looking for new places to get my pictures. 

There did not seem to be a way to just click on the image and save it to my pictures, only embedded code, publish now, or put in your lightbox.  Am I missing something, or can you not just download it to your picture file for later use?

I sometimes forget to come back so if you have the time would you put this on one of my blogs or e-mail me?  I promise to retire the favor :-)  Liz

I suggest everyone read back through the comments before saying great. 

Toni, thanks for the tip. I'll definitely be checking out PicApp...;-)
