Recently I discovered Dreamstime, a site where you can get many good free images, and some great images very inexpensively.
Here is the link to the site, check it out and let me know what you think.
Images will help your blog look more professional.

( 3.1 / 16 )Depending on your topic, an important part of blogging is photos. I have provided some free photos for people to use at my free photos site (freephotos.stevestedman.com), but there is nothing like shooting your own photos and posting them on your blog.
In order to do this you will need a digital camera. Most people have digital cameras today, and you don't need that great of a camera for blog photos since people won't want to view everything as a 10 megapixel image. Since most blog photos are sized at less than 800x600, you will need to be able to resize your photos before posting them on your blog.
So this brings us to the question of where is the best place to get a digital camera for blogging?
The last 3 digital cameras that I have purchased have come from Amazon.com. Amazon has a great return policy and a good selection. I have considered buying my next camera a Costco but they typically don't have the same selection that Amazon.com has, although they have a great return policy.
Personally I have purchased Sony cameras in the past, but I am seriously considering a Cannon camera instead.
So I turn this question to you, the readers....
Tell me about your experience purchasing a digital camera, what kind it was, where you purchased it, and how much it was, including tax and/or shipping. Also please state if you were happy with your purchase, and if you would buy from that vendor again?

( 3 / 35 )Is blogging for money something that you want to do?
So you have a blog and you are investing time and effort into making into a great blog for whatever topic you love. Now you hear about AdSense and other ways to monetize your blog and you don't know if you want to change your blog into a commercial tool to make money.
This is a common battle that bloggers face, do you keep their content pure, or do you commercialize your blog. Is it somehow unethical to have advertising on your blog?
If you find yourself asking these questions, you first need to get those questions sorted out before you attempt to figure out how to make money with your blog.
Once you have they question of making money sorted out, if you choose to make money you are on your first step to making money. The most important thing that you can do is take action. Set goals on when you want to have your blog producing money, and make it happen.
