Susanne: For my blog pretty much all the pictures I end up using are either my own or from www.photos.com, which is a wonderful service though it is a paid subscription based service.Of course I make my own screenshots of reports, dashboards, analysis that you see in the posts.Prior to using photos.com I used:stock.xchng. Not as diverse as you might want but they have tons of free images you can use.Flickr of course. Takes a while to find what you want but lots of needles if you spend some time in the haystack. Goes without saying you'll do a Advanced Search and look for images under Creative Common license.You can often get lucky at these sites:Studio 25 ImageBase StockvaultFor public domain pictures and music here is a page full of links: Springfield Township High School Virtual Library.Hope this helps.-Avinash.

I'm just beginning blogging so thanks for your insight! One question – how do you handle the copyrights for the pictures you are using? And how you you find out about copyright on music to add to your blogs? I'm really, really into Steward Dudley's music and would like to add the music to my site … but how do I go about it? Thanks Susanne

I think what you are saying about the time commitment is true, I don't know about you, however at this point I am a slower typer :) so, yes it is a huge time comitt. Thus blogging does come at a serious price, so one must really be committed to it . One further tip for evangelizing: make relationships with other steady bloggers; I recently blogged on the weburbanist (a fantastic blog btw) as a guest blogger, and that process created a great relationship, traffic back to my site. This giving something to another blogger, can pay off in many many ways.

[...] The next top ten blogging tips link is done a bit differently than we are used to seeing. It doesn’t have an author listed, it just says from a novice blogger. The difference in this blogging tips top 10 is that he goes about it backwards, like a countdown. Here’s the link and a screenshot of the top ten list, but be sure to read it on his blog because it goes into much more detail than what I have shown you. [...]
