I wanted to pass along some info I found for getting free images for your site.

A lot of what I have read about encourages site owners to take/make their own pictures, however this is much easier said than done. I have used some of my own pictures, but I tend to use ones I find online. But you can't just do a google search and use those (due to the copywrite of certain images).

Here is a list of where to get free images:

And here is a training on other ways to find free images done by a WA member

Hopefully these resources will help you get some good quality images onto your site!

And make sure that you optimize them and resize them so your site doesn't slow down due to large images. I use tinypng.com to optimize images, and then I go into paint and crop/resize.

If you are using a theme that has the option for "featured images", make sure the image size is 400x266 pixels!

Let me know if you have any questions.
