Hi guys I need a little advice on my blog. Basically my blog blokebuddy is increasing in subscribers slowly but surely and as I grow I have become more aware of the legality of blogging and use of pictures, I have already put up posts on celebrities i just found on google but it has come to my attention that legally i can only use pictures that are creative commons, now I dont want to remove the pictures i already have so i am thinking about moving forward and where i can get free creative commons images to use on the blog?

I have looked on creativecommons.org but there seems to be little in selection, for instants i did a post on rihanna and how hot she is, but the only picture i found was a rubbish photo someone took of her in concert, now my readers are not going want to look at that are they, any ideas guys?

You don't have to be that serious, Just give credits where you took it. but read their terms and policy of the sites first.

I don't think you will be charge for using celebs pic(eg) on your blog unless you claim it to be taken by you.

We know what are protected materials

You could try flickr.com - I use that site sometimes for pics

Well, search.creativecommons.org/ provides great image results from both Flickr and Wikimedia Commons. Quite a lot of great results for Rihanna on the Flickr tab.

Just remember to uncheck the necessary options, depending on your usage of those images.
