Color and excitement: using images on your blog

by angela.booth on July 7, 2007


Images can spice up your blog, adding interest for your readers.

Image tips

* Ensure that your image adds to the blog post – it needs to be relevant in some way;

* Resize the image and optimize it for the Web. Most images are too large to use as-is;

* Images are copyright, so don’t just copy images you find online. Creative Commons Search is a good source for free images. Read the rights information carefully;

* If you’re running an affiliate blog, ask the product owners if you can use images from their sites – the answer will usually be yes. Product owners who are part of affiliate networks often supply the creative you can use, as do large sites.
