How To Find Images for Publication

For example you need photo for post about Flu

Best source for photo is flickr - there is a lot of "live" photos what is good for blogging
  • Go to flickr advanced search
  • Check the box before "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content" at the bottom of the page 
  • Type your search term in "Search for" filed at the top of the page - in our example search term "Flu Shot"
  • At the result page like this results for "Flu Shot" just find photo you like 
  • At single photo page press Button "All Sizes" over the photo 
  • Chose size of photo you need - it must be wider then 400 px - example for "Flu Shot"
  • Resize it to 400 px width using your image editor add add it to your post 
  • (!) Add photo credit at the end of post with link and name of photographer 
That it! 
Question and suggestions are highly appreciated
