I found a great blog post on Copyright Laws for Bloggers that I wanted to share.

I also thought I’d share some of the sites I find the images I use, so I don’t violate any copyright laws (no, you can’t just google images and use them)! Two of the sites I use are:

iClipArt is holding a sale right now, $29.95 for a year. You can search for clipart, photos, sounds, video and web graphics. It’s easy to search across the categories and has a great variety of images.

Check this out if you want to add some "eye candy" to your posts.

iStockPhoto offers low cost photos for your commercial use. You need to purchase credits and a normal image costs 2 – 3 credits.

iStockPhoto also has videos and illustrations, which are really nice. If you are a photographer or graphic artist you can earn credits by offering up your work. It’s a great site, check it out.

What resources do you use for images and photos?

Not a graphic designer?
No access to PhotoShop?

Not to worry. Now you can use the Quick Web Creation generator to Create Astonishly Attractive, Professional, Eye-Pleasing and Very Web 2.0 Text and Images – While Saving Thousands – Without Using Any High-End (or Low-End) Software Tools of Any Kind – All in Literally Less Than 1 Minute!

I created this image is just a few minutes. It’s very easy and adds "eye candy" to your blog posts. For those who are unfamiliar with what typically Web 2.0 images/text-images are like… they typically are created with glossies, shadows, reflections, and gradient colors/outlines at the very least! Let alone the different types of diagonal line patterns, dual gradients and other eye-popping features that make it truly unique and different from the rest! 

Take a look at this cool new tool and see if it will work for you!
