Adding graphics to your blogs

Adding graphics to your blogs is not an easy task. At least if you care about copyright. I've been looking into this issue for some time and looked at the various options.

It costs money. Most photo stock libraries charge you by the picture - and from what I have seen the price is > $50/image. At least if I not ask for a quote. But for personal use - the prices scare you off.

That why I am glad I have found a site called clipart.com - a site that is subscription based. From how I read the license terms I can download up to a 1000 pictures each day and use on my web page, presentations and emails. Given their license I can not use their images on new stuff after I terminate the subscription but existing blogs created during my subscription are allowed to display the downloaded images.

I have searched a little on their site and usually I find art I can use if I want to write about something.

All art on this page is downloaded from clipart.com and scaled down to the right size using Microsoft Office Picture Manager. As you understand the two last pictures have nothing to do with this article - I just added them for fun.
