How Do You Post Photos?

How Do You Post Photos?

Having two blogs that are updated about once a day, I am always posting pictures. I decided to post the steps I take to do so, and see what everyone thinks.

First, I go to Google image search and find a photo or make one in Photoshop.
I save that image to my desktop.
I go to Resizr to upload the photo.
I change the image type to GIF.
I resize the image to smaller size.
I save these changes.
I right-click the photo using ImageShack firefox extension.
Finally, I paste the ImageShack hosted image code into my blog.

So now that you know my way of posting photos - how do you post photos?

Hey Blogduck,
A good place to host pictures is flickr. its free and your flickr images can also get a bit of traffic. Its pretty much the same process.

Thats a bit of an intensive method!
Your using wordpress why dont you use the wordpress image upload?

There also flickr, zooomr, photobucket and box.net for image hosting.

Most images you find through Google images are not public domain and you probably don’t have permission to post them on your site. Just FYI.

For online photos, since it’s a case by case basis, I believe using the image is fair use.

I just installed Photopress, a wordpress plugin. I like it a lot. I used to do something similar to your method and got tired of it.

I get my images from free stock photography websites, where you have all rights to use them. Try the following:

http://www.sxc.hu/
http://www.indexstock.com/default.asp (many of these are not free)

You can find some good quality images on those, and my favorite is, personally, the first one because most of them are free of charge.

I’m using Flickr for the most part. I have a ton of storage with Dreamhost (been with them since 1999) so I’ve also used that space plus some wordpress plugins in the past.

I think that doing a google image search is a bad idea - just using someone else’s photos and not giving them credit will not win you many friends.

I actually use my own photos - or if I need something I don’t have to go with a post I simply buy a Royalty free licence from one of the cheap microstock sites - much safer that way.

and I use the great free tools to Resize Images
