Need Free Photos for Your Blog too?
April 3, 2007
Today’s Magic Wand: Now that I’m seeing the value of adding images (why d
id it take me so long??), I’ve been getting asked about my source. I’ll tell you my secret, it’s Flickr. Yep, you can search with key words and use these images for free. Of course, you will see a lot of really poor quality photos in the mix, but there’s some great shots too, I usually can find what I’m looking for very quickly. Enjoy using photography on your blogs too! A picture does paint a thousand words, doesn’t it?
i want to use more pics on my blog, too. more original pics.
From an artist/photographer’s stand point using Flickr is interesting, what’s your take on it? Do you think that photographers who post on Flickr hurt other photographers who want to get paid for their pix?
i don’t know. i use photobucket:)
very cool. I checked it out and photobucket seems great!

Hi Kelly & Kristen.
I got flickr.com to finally work for me…in a complicated way. I tried photobucket.com and couldn’t find the URLs.
Here are all my very complex instructions.
Any easier advice is greatly appreciated.

Ponn,
There aren’t URLS for photobucket, you just search for the image with a keyword you want, select, drag and it works.
