Since images says 1000 words it is always best to find the best images for your blog. You can get high quality images for 1/2 $ for a simple use, but getting the photo for free will save your pocket. Only problems with free photos are that they are not very high quality.

It's always a good idea to give credit for image if you are not sure to avoid any conflict later on. This website is great because it allows you to use the image link right from their site. If you use blogger or similar site/ host there is a limited amount of MG/GB you can use, so it's always good to use the linking src. If you don't know how to do it, and how you can drive more traffic using the photo you can check out my other tutorial about how to customize your image for blogging to drive more traffic.
