How do you use pictures | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

I typically use Flickr creative commons for my pictures. I used to use iStockPhoto, but that was before I found Flickr. If it's an investing post, I'll just insert the excel graph/chart as my picture.

Sometimes though I still will hit up iStockPhoto if I'm looking for something specific.

Depending on the length of the post, I may place the picture at the top, or in the middle if it's long.

I use Morguefile for pictures.

Thanks for the response…

Is that site considered a 'stock photo' type of site?

As I mentioned we make friends with photographers and use their images. They usually have nothing to do with the post we just like to make the photos looking a bit different. Have you ever though about taking that angle?

I use Morguefile a lot, but occassionally use freedigitialphotos as well.  I typically put them at the top so they show up before the page break, but sometimes will intersperse them.  

That said, if I have relevant pictures that I took, I will photoshop them and use them.

I use photos throughout the post for longer posts so people don't get bored, but if it's well-written, one at the top gets the job done.  I use flickr, freedigitalphotos, and sxc.hu  .  You have to cite the source for the first two, and make sure that you're using stuff from creative commons at flickr that's not under copyright.
