How To Find And Post Images

Once your post is done, you should find a great image to accompany it—one that is relevant to what you wrote about and that'll catch someone's eye.

When you’re looking for an image to accompany your article, you should only use images you’re legally permitted to. Flickr, the internet’s largest photo sharing site, has a large set of photos that are licensed by their photographers for everyone to use—but they’re not easily searchable on that site. For that, there’s Compfight.com, a Flickr search engine. When you search, just make sure the search bar looks like this one—you want to look for "Commercial" images, and you want to search "text," not just "tags."



From there, you can find the photo you want...


And then go to the photograph’s Flickr page, save the image to your hard drive, and then insert it into your post. Don’t forget to credit the image: put, directly below where you use it in your post, “Photo by [photographer’s name],” link to the photo you used, and italicize the text, like this:
