Exactly, Rhonda. And I love taking pix specifically for blog posts, so it’s a two-fer.

Same thought: a powerful image is so important … as long as you have permission to use it!

(of course, if you keep it personal, as you say in #4 on your list, then you will have permission … it will by your image!)

I agree that it’s a really time-consuming process, James. However, it can sometimes mean the difference between someone reading your post and not, so I think it’s worth the investment, especially if you’ve spent time crafting your post to perfection.

That’s interesting, Jim. I really like selecting images, but I agree that it’s time-consuming.

Selecting images has always been a weak spot for me. I usually just don’t bother because the process is so time consuming. It can take as long to find an image as it does to write the post!

As others have said, I’m way to literal, so I can rarely find the image I want. I’ll have to work on that. Maybe looking for the right “feeling” will be easier.

This is a valid concern and I actually don’t use pictures of my family and friends regularly for this reason (unless I’ve asked them). When it comes to people pictures, you can find tons of free ones using Wikimedia Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_day) or morguefile.com. Flickr is really good for that, too, but don’t forget to take note of licenses and to give proper credit.

Glad the post helped!
