I recently came across some blogs with really good content but with no images. I felt something is missing with those blogs though they have some good content. Images are must for blogs as they add some color and visual interest and will draw the attention of the visitors.

Just imagine a blog with lengthy but useful content and no images. You’ll get bored with even the interesting content in some minutes. It is not necessary to images with all blog posts but add images whereever it is necessary.

If you have a difficulty in explaining something, then you can use images.

Where to get images for blog posts?
Here are some sites which I usually use to get images. These images are not completely copyright free but they are licensed under Creative Common license.
