Over 40 Image Sources & Tools For Free Stock Photos, Images & Cliparts

by MAHESH MOHAN on December 1, 2014

Free Stock Photos
Image Credit: Free Digital Photos

Like every other blogger, I have been using Google Images for Clip art, Images, and Photos for my blog even though I didn’t want to. But recently I created a Lifestyle blog for a friend and advised her to use Flickr for images.

I was totally impressed by her image searching capability and decided to use Flickr for my blog as well. Again, the blogpost by Roni Loren titled “Blogger Beware: You CAN Get Sued For Using Photos You Don’t Own on Your Blog” was a total eye-opener.

I read that article a couple of days back and got to action. Why? Because Roni said that we can get sued for using those clip-arts, stock images, and photos which we get from Google Images. I have often, like most of you, royally ignored the warning message from Google which says “Images may be subject to copyright.” while previewing images.

So where can you get images from now? Use images with a Creative Commons License. Creative Commons Attribution License indicates that you’re free to share, remix and make commercial use of the work as long as you give an attribution.

If you’re new to WordPress, I know just how hard it will be for you, to find your  perfect WordPress theme (or template). I have featured here the Top 30 WordPress Theme Marketplaces to help you find your dream template.

Most of the WordPress Theme marketplaces featured here offer multiple options when buying. For example, you can buy a license for single-use, multiple use (developer version), or can even buy their entire collection of themes for a one-time/annual fee.

Have You Replaced WordPress Search With Google Custom Search Yet?

by MAHESH MOHAN on April 24, 2013

Custom Search Engine

If you’re using WordPress for sometime then you probably know that WordPress search is not up to the mark. It’s good to find results but the search results’ relevancy sucks big time.

Google introduced custom search back in 2006. But I was not impressed with the way results are arranged and presented. So I never cared about using Google’s search as a replacement for WordPress search.

How To Test The “Responsiveness” Of Your Website

by MAHESH MOHAN on April 13, 2013

Want to test the “responsiveness” of your blog/website? Try Screenfly! As you can see I have switched to Genesis Framework from ColorLabs early this month and I love it. And while I was testing the design with various devices and browsers I noticed that there were minor design conflicts.

For this, I was looking for a service to test the blog at different screen resolutions and that’s how I found Screenfly. You can test your website on almost all devices with ANY screen size including Desktops/Laptops, Tablets, Mobile Phones, and Television.

ABOUT MAHESH (@maheshone)

Hey there, I’m Mahesh (@maheshone). I started learning and doing and experimenting web 2.0 stuff back in 2004 and eventually became a full-time computer nerd after graduation. Minterest is a digital marketing and technology journal that I founded in 2007 to feed my super curiosity (oh yeah, I’m a solo-blogger). I write about tech, marketing, and everything in between that excites me. And I love to work with small businesses to help them get the most out of the web. Outside of that, I'm equally passionate about the financial markets and I also spend a lot of time doing random things (see random facts about me). Say hi: @maheshone. Read More »
