I posted a "Question" a few weeks ago here at APSense.... I wanted to know where you get your images that you use for posting online. I got many responses.. one was from my dear friend Warren. He gave me a couple of suggestions but the one that I have been using every since he told me about it was Pixabay.

I must tell you.... I love Pixabay.. it is so easy to use and anything that I have ever looked for to go with what I am posting about I found several images to use. The nice thing about Pixabay is that you can use any of their images and not worry that you are not suppose to be using them. All of the pictures are royalty free. They are being submitted by their what seems to be an endless supply of photographers.

I have also LIKED their Facebook Page. They are always posting new pictures.... and not only that but when you click the link that they have included with the post it will take you to many more pictures about that same subject. Many times they have posted a picture and I had a wonderful idea of a topic to write about just by seeing that picture... anyway I think you get the idea that I really like this Pixabay.... BUT>>> It gets even better....

I do not know how I came across this but Pixabay has a wordpress plugin....HCIT? I downloaded it to a couple of my blogs. When I go to add or edit a post there is a little icon that sits at the top and all I have to do is click it and I am taken to a box that lets me search the Pixabay site right from there.... when I find that image I want... I can choose the size and poof as if by magic it appears in my blog post. What could be easier?

If you have not yet visited Pixabay you really are missing a fun site and if you have a wordpress blog.. download the plugin....You will be glad that you did.

Thanks again Warren for introducing me to this great site.
