However, if I were ever to receive a takedown notice, I would fully comply. Thankfully, most people who put their images online do so in good faith, and with the desire to share the image. As long as you give proper attribution, I've found that most people are happy to let you use their image, as long as you're not hotlinking and stealing their bandwidth.

But I manage a large group of blogs and can't always find just the right image. In those cases, I will go to Flickr's creative commons search and look for an image that I can use with attribution and the link, which are always right below the image itself. If I can't find what I need there, I head for iStockPhoto, which has never failed me. Wherever I can, I use my own. But I manage a large group of blogs and can’t always find just the right image.

I create a "lightbox" on Morguefile and save an image there each time I use it -- that way, I need only link out once from my blog to the source of the images, ultimately leading directly to the contributing photographer's work.

Also, there's some pretty good clip art out there from places like Microsoft Office. Even those clip art CDs from the office supply store are helpful. I also have a nice collection of clip art books with vintage artwork from the 30s, 40s and 50s that I scan. For my cooking blog, I try to take my own photos. But for product reviews, I do grab pictures from the manufacturer or Amazon.com's affiliate program, which I believe is o.k. I like istockphoto.com too, plus they have a decent affiliate program.

I think the images really make the visual look of the blog. I've also included a 'Photography Credits' page just to double-up on the attribution.

That is why I take a lot of random photos of things and scenes that I like and store them in Flickr. Failing that, there are two sites that I use a lot: http://everystockphoto.com http://sxc.hu The first is a CC photo search engine, while the second is a free stock image repository. A lot of nice images can be found, especially on sxc.hu. And if I am really desperate - Google Images. Even then it's a thumbnail and I always link back to the original site where I found it from. And yeah, I expect a take down notice for these but I haven't got one yet. #1 on my list is the same as yours – create own.
