So I'm relatively new to blogging I have written a couple of posts on Oppo and have been working on articles and I would like to add pictures that I haven't taken myself and would like to do so legally. So any advice on how I could do that would be greatly appreciated. I would also appreciate your favorite and most user friendly resources are for finding good usable images. I've Googled it and keep finding mixed answers and was hoping someone could help me out.

Here is ssomething I use:

Go to google and do an image search and then choose "search tools" and you can filter by usage rights. I typically use "labeled for reuse" or "labeled for reuse without modification" if I'm feeling extra safe. is it foolproof? no, but its a start

they tend to be wikipedia commons most of the time.

There is also the idea of attribution, which is sometimes sufficient...well...actually MOSTLY sufficient, but not always.
