What Kind of Images Do I Need?
- You can use a photo that expresses what you’re talking about in the post. For example, if your post is about a travel destination, include an image from that city.
- If you’re talking about a website or software program, you can use a screen shot to illustrate the benefits.
- Infographics are also visual elements that attract blog readers. Make sure to attribute the designer.
- Clip art and graphic design elements can enhance your post as well. Use them to express concepts, like networking.
There are regulations that require you to attribute any photo you use, including creative commons. Pick a format like this and make sure to link to the source where you found the photo:

What to Look For
Images for your blog should be clear and professional looking. The sites with stock images tend to have cleaner backgrounds and more appealing subjects. Avoid using images with children, as any photo you use should have the permission of the subject, and some people post photos of their kids, unaware that they could be used on a blog.
Images of objects can help you portray what you’re trying to get across in a post, so find interesting ways to express yourself!
