There are 3 different resources for photos:
- iStockPhoto
- stock.xchng (This one has been most useful so far)
- yotophoto (A search, but so far, I have had to wade through many images you have to pay for)
This site has been helpful for clipart:
The problem I have had with the clipart library is with searching. I haven’t found an easy way to search and browse to find the image that I want.
Linking to Images:
http://www.flickr.com/
I have been downloading the images from the various websites and uploading them to my account on Flickr.com. I figured that was better than using the bandwidth of the photo distributor to display the images on my personal blog. To add the image to my blog, I have been copying the image from Flickr and pasting it in the editor on WordPress. Then, I changed the link from Flickr to the page on the photo distributor’s website so that people know where the image came from.
For images from the Open Clip Art Library, I have to convert them because Flickr does not accept svg images. So, I save them as an svg to my desktop. Then, I open them in Inkscape and export them to a jpeg. Then, I can upload the image.
