It’s always nice to have a cool image to go along with a blog post. It helps to drive home a story and gives the reader an indication to what the article is about. Finding these cool images, that can be legal to use, is easy thanks to several sites.
- Getty Images: It is the 500 lb gorilla. It is easy to find the code to embed these into your site, however you can’t uses these on a WordPress Site (without a plugin).

- Flickr: Flickr has a whole section specific for creative commons and public domain images. Just select the level of CC and search for an image.
- Fancy Crave: limited selection of stock, however they are nice images.
- Free Images: Large selection of images
- Pixabay: Another large repository of images
- IM Creator: Limited selection, but nice images
- Stock Fault: Professional level images. No registration required.
