This is definitely a great thing for bloggers because having any type of media (images, video, etc) is a consistently used strategy for making blog posts look better.
Now that Google has given the advanced option of searching for Creative Commons-usage images, you can find that right image for your blog post faster!
As you can see, all you have to do is go into advanced image options and select the drop-down at the bottom.
Make sure you double-check the license on the images though if you start using this a lot; Google doesn’t guarantee the accuracy of the return.
w00t!
What other services do you use to find images for your posts?

I usually hit Flickr. I go to the advanced search and check off the ones that are under the Creative Commons license.
Sometimes though I forget and I see an AWESOME image, go to download and that's when I see, "All Rights Reserved"….Doh!
flickr rules.
I have been waiting for this since I've been blogging! There are at times images on google that I prefer over images on flickr. Sweet
OH yea, "other" services include flickr, and as you can imagine, my trusty ol' personal phone and camera — I like those the best (when I get a good image)

Glory. It's about time right? I love doing things legally.

Hey John. Thanks so much for having lunch with the group of us and brainstorming strategy with all the different blogs. Reggie talked about it for a long time and I’m excited to see that he wants us to learn as much as we can from you and others- to do well. Question- in our first lunch with Betsy, you mentioned some posts you wrote on licensing– I want to make sure images we put up are legit as well as videos and not cross any lines. I found this post but am not sure what the tag should say for accuracy. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I’m hoping to catch some of your sessions at Orange. –Cara Martens/Texas
