A well placed image in your blog post somehow draw readers attention and make them much more want to digg the stories. Instead images can draw attention it also give a “beauty” touch and create a professional looking blog. But your blog will look bad if you placing too many inappropriate images. Too many images also will increase your site load time. If you inserting just one or two images to support your story it will not be a big problem (images maybe a best prop for any blogs). Yes you should optimized your blog with some images.

Too insert an image to any blog post not a big problem even for a beginner like me. There are Wordpress plugin designs to support these job and make blogging experience more easily. To start with, you can use Flickr Wordpress Plugin where you can integrate blog post with Flickr account and images. Or you can use FALBUM WordPress Plugin to as a support. For Firefox user, you can try Screengrab add-on to capture any screenshots, with this add-on you can capture full image or only selection of the image that you want.

Too insert any images you need the right “image”, then what is the best place to obtain such right images. Yes I know the answer, you can obtain and search any images with Google Images but did you know some images in Google Images search under copyright and own by the owner - if you take a wrong images you will get into some trouble.

For me to get a good and quality image there is right place you can find it. You can try search for stock photography photo, there are lots out there with free membership and some with paid membership. For a blog a free images just fine for me, up to you. Below some place you can try to find some high quality images and most of all free.

• stock.xchng - Browse through the categories of stock.xchng huge gallery containing over 250.000 quality stock photos by more than 25.000 photographers. Sure you will find something.

• FreePhotosBank - you can search for keywords in various fields. Just type your image keywords and start searching the right images.
• freeimages.co.uk - Also a best place to find free stock images.

Try to browse each stock photo there, maybe you will find something useful to help you build a better blog and make it more interesting.
