I admit it. I’m a WordPress plugin junkie. I’m continually updating, adding, removing, and adjusting the list of plugins I have running this site. Here are six of my current favorites.
Capturing your readers’ attention with art is a well-known and effective strategy for creating better blog. (Besides, it’s fun.) There are plenty of stock photo sites out there that offer art at reasonable prices, but for many bloggers there’s no sense in spending money to get good photographs on your blog.
I’ve found that pictures shared under a Creative Commons (CC) license (of all flavors) are a great resource for bloggers who want artwork to accompany their posts. I’ve also realized that not everyone, myself included, has always done an adequate job of meeting the attribution requirements of CC licenses. To help remedy this, here are my recommendations for doing this properly in a blog.
