Public Domain
One thing you need is some clip art and photos that are in the so called public domain.
It got to the point I would have to stop with what I was doing and I had to redo searches for public domain clip art or photos. After a while, I was spending more time looking for these than I was writing in my blogs. So I decided to put this resource on my site to save me some time. And believe me it speeds things up, because I didn't have to keep repeating these steps over and over.
One thing that I learned very quick is to make a directory to where you can store these pics. Another thing I found out is some of these pics may be in bitmap format. If these are in this format, it take longer to load or they may not load. So what I do is edit the pic with the paint program and then save them as a jpeg format. They load faster and it works every time. One other thing you need to look out for is if the pics have a copyright on them. I try to find pics that are free and doesn't have a copyright.

The presence of a resource on this list does not guarantee that all or any of the images in it are in the public domain. You are still responsible for checking the copyright status of images
The pics used on this site are either ones that came with the site. But a lot was from searches on Google for public domain pics. Usually you can find something by searching: public domain <topic>, be it pictures or clip art.
Some good search terms I use is:

But if you are looking for more specialized pics these may be harder to find and may need to be bought. It does take some work but you will find something that might fit. One site that I found is on Wikipedia and that link is shown below.
