Here are some resources where you can find free images and/or public domain pictures that you can use in a website, blog, articles, etc..
1. www.sxc.hu
Stock.XChng is one of the leading sites that offer high quality, high resolution, royalty free stock images for personal and public work. They allow you to use their images on websites, presentations, videos, cell phones, magazines, brochures, flyers, CD covers even business cards and letterheads! Some image rights do vary from picture to picture, so be sure to check the image restrictions first. At last glance, sxc.hu had over 336,000 photos in multiple categories.
2. http://gimp-savvy.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVE/
Gimp-Savvy.com is a community-indexed photo archives. Most of the images came from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The photos you’ll find here are copyright free, but some restrictions still apply. Specifically, people have a legal right to privacy, and the use of their likeness for commercial advertising typically requires a consent agreement. If a person is recognizable in an image, a model release must be obtained before using the image for commercial purposes.

One of the bane of every computer user is finding out that your email has somehow been captured by spammers and now your mailbox is a spam magnet. If you run a website or a blog, the first thing you want to do is to prevent spammers from harvesting any email address placed on your website. You can do this by obsfucating any email address on your site.
If you are running WordPress, you can use this anti-spam plugin by Urban Giraffe. What the plugin does is to replace any email addresses in your posts and pages with an obsfucated version but retaining the mailto: functionality.
If you have a Website, use the following Javascript code below to implement mailto: functionality
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
user = ‘emailname‘;
domain = ‘mydomain.com‘;
document.write(‘<a href="mailto:’ + user + ‘@’ + domain + ‘">’);
document.write(‘linkname‘ + ‘</a>’);
</SCRIPT>
The above javascript code will give you the following:
<a href="mailto:emailname@mydomain.com">linkname</a>

The Title section in Header.php contains the codes which displays your WordPress title. This is important because search engine listings will display your post title followed by a description of your post. I began to notice that all of my listings had the words Blog Archive in them which was unneccesary and caused part of the titles displayed to be cut off.
To remove the words Blog Archive, do this:
- Log into your self hosted WordPress blog and click Presentation
- Click on Theme Editor
- On the right handside of your browser window, select Header from the list of theme files
- Look for this line of code just a few lines from the top.<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
- Remove this section => <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?>
The remaining portion should look like this:
<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

I use the excellent Dean’s FCKEditor for WordPress plugin to replace the default WordPress text editor which is really crummy. However, one of the drawbacks of the FCKEditor is its image manager which does not automatically create image thumbnails when you upload pictures. The developers of FCKEditor has already decided not to include thumbnail creation ability, opting instead for CKFinder, is a commercial file manager plugin for FCKEditor.
Fortunately, there is a free image manager plugin for FCKEditor that can create thumbnails! Saulmade has made (pun intended) an open source image manager plugin that enables thumbnails to be autocreated from within FCKEditor. Use the link above to download the plugin or visit his site at http://www.saulmade.nl/ FCKeditor/FCKPlugins.php for more information. The installation instructions on Saulmade’s site is for general installations of FCKEditor. Installation of FCKEditor for WordPress is slightly different.
I’ve included the installation instructions below for Dean’s FCKEditor for WordPress plugin:
SETTING UP THE IMAGE MANAGER PLUGIN:
- Extract the ImageManager folder from the zip file to the FCKEditor for WordPress plugins directory. The folder should be copied to /public_html/wp-content/plugins/fckeditor_for_wordpress/ fckeditor/editor/plugins/
if you installed WordPress to the root directory.
- Edit the file ‘config.inc.php‘ in the ImageManager folder to configure the plugin. The config.inc.php file contains all the configuration settings for the image manager plugin such as where to store the thumbnails and images, thumbnail prefixes, whether eding and uploading is allowed, etc.
- Edit the file ‘fckplugin.js‘ in the ImageManager folder to set the language for the plugin and to directEdit option. I’m not too sure what directEdit is for, so I left it as ‘false’.

One of the ways affiliate marketers or internet marketers determine the profitability of a new niche market is by doing a search on Google and by looking at the number of sponsored ads appearing. The less sponsored ads there are, the less pay per click competition there is. Hence, you can get your ads up on the first page of Google for a lower cost and likely to reach more of your target niche market.
However, newbies may not realise that just because you use Google.com (your target market in the US) instead of Google.com.sg (country where you live, eg. Singapore), it doesn’t mean that the sponsored results appearing are those for the US market. This is because, when you browse to Google.com, your computer IP address is also sent to Google and from that IP, Google knows where in the world you live. Google then displays only the relevant sponsored ad results for your country. One of the ways to get around this is to use a dedicated keyword research tool like Keywords Analyzer which allows you to specify which country specific Google search engine you want to use. When you perform a keyword search using the tool, only the results for that country are returned. With this, you can quickly determine the niche market profitably for any country where Google has a dedicated search engine datacentre.
