Finding new ways to increase readership of my blog is one of my ongoing projects. At first I did not think much about including images. After all, images do not add to the content of the topics I tend to post about. However, I noticed that when browsing other people’s posts I tended to be much more attracted to the posts with a featured image.
Somehow a post with an image seems more professional and well-rounded to me. I wanted to begin the process of adding images to my blog, both to each new post and retroactively to all of my previous posts.
The problem was that I hardly ever take pictures or draw; even if I was adept at photography since I hardly travel the pictures would quickly become mundane. Searching the internet for pictures was an obvious solution, but most of the images I wanted to use were copyrighted and I did not want any trouble.
Fortunately googling “public domain images” led me to http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/, a free repository of public domain images. All of the images that appeared on my blog yesterday came from that site, and I recommend it if anyone is looking to spice up their posts with some pictures.
Happy blogging!

Thank you so much for sharing the helpful link! I came to the same realization recently, and like you I don’t want to use copyrighted images of course! Love the choice of photo here by the way!

You’re welcome, I’m glad you found it useful. I think there are plenty more public domain image databases out there too, if the one I linked doesn’t have something you want. I found it difficult to find a decent picture of a wheelchair, for example.
