One of the easiest ways to make your blog posts more engaging, and readable, is to add images. I like to use images that illustrate the pain or the promise of the topic I'm exploring. Often I will use some of the keywords in my blog post as my starting point to search for images.
For sales pages and squeeze pages I use royalty free stock photos. Istockphoto.com is one of my favorites. However, when I'm writing blog posts I like to use Flickr Creative Commons. The images are free to use, you only have to attribute your source.
PhotoDropper, a WordPress plugin, allows you to browse a database of Creative Commons photographs and easily add them to your site, along with attributions, all in one click.
Gone are the days when you have to browse stock photo sites or scour the internet for free license images. Now you can just pick the images you want from one easy to use gallery and it’ll automatically be dropped into your post. This is such a cool and time saving plugin. You're going to love it!

Dear Adela, thank you for this interesting posting. We’d like to mention about http://www.SchoolPhotoProject.com. We are a totally free stock photo site that make good quality photos available for students and public in general — we’d love to have bloggers to use our photos with a small credit in return. No need to open an account or login to download our HD photo files – which are as big as 4000 pixels in size. New free photos are uploaded daily. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing such an awesome resource. Just checked out the images and they’re great!
