How to Find Free Photos to Use in Your Blog
October 20th, 2007· Filed Under: Help For New Blogging Community Members
Even if you are blogging on the topic of friendly cows, you can find perfect FREE photos online to use in your blog. My favorite place for photos is stock.xchng. You can register to use their vast collection of photographs by going to http://www.sxc.hu/signup.
One word of caution: The free photo websites that I have come across often contain suggestive and pornographic materials. Stock.xchng also has some of these types of photos that have been submitted to their site. You can usually avoid this problem by being careful about the searches you do. For instance, typing in the word “toaster” will generally be less problematic then typing in the word “women”.
If anyone knows of any more family friendly free photo sites, please let us know.

This is extremely helpful. Many sites wanted to charge me over $300 to use their pictures. It is hard to spend that much when you are just getting started.

I’m really excited to have pics so handy and it will give my work on line a complete look.
