One of the things that can make all the difference to a Website or Blogs readability is by adding in images. I do this usually in two ways.
My favorites is using Youtube I know it isn’t an image but if you embed the code to a relevant video it does the same job as a static photo by breaking up the text.
Watch this video to show you how to embed a video as I have here.
If you have WordPress 2.6 you will not need to edit any of the code of the video you want to
embed. The video above will show you what to edit if you have a version of WordPress
that won’t play the video.
The other method is to add in a static photo type image. One of the best sources for FREE images is stock.xchng there are lot’s of images that you can use on here that are FREE no strings! Make sure you check the terms of use for each image before downloading.
Click the image and then click the link just below the word AVAILABILITY. It may say “standard restrictions”. Then at the end of the third paragraph “free of charge”. There are some downloads where you need to purchase them, but I usually find something for free.
This method is totally free and different to a site like Big Stock Photo where the images are “royalty free”. They are very cheap but you would have some restrictions. For instance if you wanted to use the image on two projects you would need to pay for the image twice.
