I have always used Istock for my newsletters but I'm about to switch Blog themes and that will mean I'll need a different image most days.

Anybody got any ideas for either free or cheap sources with a great variety of different images?

Thanks
Tim

stock.xchng - the leading free stock photography site

it's a free stock image site - has a large variety of images and a good search engien.

You can also use flickr or wikipedia commons images with Creative Commons licenses.

Thanks a lot guys!

Aye. Flicker is a great source. Just, as Brutha said, make sure the image you use is under a creative commons license.

As a matter of fact, Skelliewag.org, a blog building blog has a great article on how to use flicker.

Good Luck!

I mentioned in another thread, what someone else suggested. If you see a photo on flickr that you like, just approach the owner and ask them if you can use it, for a small fee.

Personally, I use deviant art and link back to the users.
