Even more to that - i've come to websites telling they are giving away images for free and then saw the same photos under copyright by known photographers. So if you want to use free images - make sure the source is good. You may take images from <a href="http://flickr.com" rel="nofollow">flickr</a> as some of them are licensed as creative commons - but you'll be required to attribute the author. I have a list of <a href="designbeginshere.com" rel="nofollow">design resources</a> i'm building for myswlf and the public - maybe you'll find anything useful there too. And of course, spending a few cents for being sure about the image source is the most reliable option. Your note on photo licensing is quite important.

Was interested in reading what you have to say about images. I picked out my style of site from Homestead, and am using that. IT happens to have about 6 little images on the index page, which I have been debating if I should keep. Then I thought I will use them as links. to other pages individually. Am finding that a little challenging because if I click one , it sometimes animates the one beside it, and alignment is a headache...as one logo was off size that I substituted in. But I thought they , pics I mean might be a better incentive to click then just a text link. Wonder about it though??? Hi! Was interested in reading what you have to say about images.
