Pictures can really turn an average blog into an awesome blog.  It&#039;s a lot of extra work, but in my opinion, it&#039;s completely worth it.  Thanks for commenting!

@ Sheila

Thanks a bunch for adding value to this post.  I will check out those links, because I always enjoy finding new resources for bloggers such as ourselves.

@ FupDuckTV

I create 90% of my images myself.  For example, the picture up above is a screenshot of one of my images folder.  You can see shots of me, my cats, my dogs, etc. if you look hard enough.  If the pictures have photographs, I usually take them.  On the &quot;Attention All Writers&quot; and &quot;Sex and Violence in Movies&quot; Post, I got photos from http://sxc.hu

I&#039;m trying to stay on the right side of the law from the get-go with my blog, because I intend on taking this business venture as far as I can.  I strongly recommend against using copyrighted images without permission... even though it&#039;s just so darn easy!  lol.</description>

		<description>Where do you get your images for your blog?  Do you use Flickr, your own images or google search?  Are you using them with permission, under Fair-use presidence or just flat out using without permission?  Just curious...</description>

		<description>Trey,
I started out like you, blogging first and then putting attention on images. 

I really enjoyed the links. The last one is a super site I will be going to from now on.

I have found a couple of tools that will help some one new to adding images. These are editing tools that are free and very easy to use.
http://picknik.com and http://splashup.com

I found this link just today. I haven&#039;t checked it out yet but it looks like fun for the future of images on my blog.
http://bit.ly/ku6wb Looks like it works 
on just about any blog format.

thanks 
Sheila

		<description>You know you are right, pictures do add something special to the blog.
