Do you add pictures to your blogs? We have to remember that pictures make your posts more appealing and add a depth to your content. Are you looking for pictures to put on your blog post? Do you worry about the rules that come along with using pictures you find on the internet?
My Ultimate Blog Challenge co-host Michelle Shaeffer posted this fabulous video on Youtube and I thought you would enjoy it.
What a great video and that tip about MorgueFile is awesome! Thank you Michelle for putting out great content. Be sure to visit Michelle's site at http://MichelleShaeffer.com for more fabulous online tips.
GREAT INFO! I love that Michelle takes us through it all step-by-step. One can certainly appreciate that as a beginner. 🙂 Also, her voice is SO soothing. I didn’t realize how that makes it easier for me to pay attention and learn! Learn something new every day!
Thanks for posting, Michele.
Take care of you.

LOL Tina – I know I love to watch videos that Michelle does. She makes everything seem so do-able (and you just have to love that soothing voice) :)) Thanks Tina, Michele
I have a question more about putting up multiple pictures as a slide show on my website (blog it’s very easy). I do use html, but found something saying to use smil. so… any thoughts?
Hey Stuart – Maybe I could get Michelle to let us know if she has any ideas on that. I am so not techie – LOL so I defer to her for that. Thanks, Michele
Hey Michele, thanks so much for sharing this on your blog. 🙂
You are very welcome! You put out such great info I want to be sure everyone sees it. :)) Michele
Hey Michelle – If you get a change Stuart has a question that I think you might be able to help him with in this thread. Thanks, Michele
@Stuart – I have used the “Portfolio Slideshow” plugin in the past for implementing a slide show within a post. If I remember correctly, the ‘trick’ is to create a new post, upload the images from the Media Library from within that post, but do not insert the picts into the post. They had a code that you add to the post to insert the slide show.
Hope this helps!
