Royalty Free Photos

Just becuase an image is on the web doesn't make it available to anyone to use. If you are using photos for your website or blog you need to be aware of what photos you are using. There are many sites that offer low cost or no cost images. Sites like creative commons and bigfoto to name a few. Of course you can always take your own photos which is the best option! Everyone loves photos so don't shy away from photos, it just takes a little effort.

Take a moment to watch this short video about where to find no and low cost images. Enjoy!

Hi Amy,  Your post is an important reminder to anyone who posts on the Internet.  The safest thing to do is to take your own photos.

I much prefer to use my own photos so I don't run into any copyrite issues down the road.

Thanks for sharing.  This is always a scary subject.  I am taking my own photos now.

Thanks for your comments. This will become more an more of an issue as copyright becomes more important. Take your own or buy royalty free@ the only way to to!

Good video, Amy, and something we all want to know before posting those images. I like iClipart btw.
