How to and where to find images for your website
OK, maybe you are not going to go out with a camera and take your own photos for a website you are designing. The thought of sunlight is just too scary. Or maybe you need a picture of a ship, or kangaroo and there just aren’t any of those hanging out in your neighborhood.
You can go to Flickr and selected ‘advanced search’ and search for Creative Commons licensed photos.
Or you can go to Yotophoto which collects Creative Common licensed photos from several websites.
If you are looking for more professional quality photos you can give up a few dollars ( $1-$15 ) and find professional photos at iStockphoto.
Remember if you are using Creative Commons photos be sure to give some back to the community. You’ll find several at my Flickr account. The things that are every day things in your world won’t be for some website designer or blogger thousands of miles away.
A new site offering free quality images to bloggers is PicApp
