No
doubt, photos make your blog posts more alive. Having your posts
accompanied with great photos will make a great and attractive post. But
the challenge is where to find those great photos that are suitable or
related to your post.
For
an image search engine like Google Images, photo search results will
just include any image uploaded by anyone that uses Google's image
hosting solutions (like Picasa). That means, you'll get a lot of crappy

copyright.
