New Page, on My Blog, for Free Graphics

One of the things that I enjoy most about blogging is finding fun images to illustrate my stories.  I also like decorating my headers and backgrounds.  I'm starting to learn more and more about html and how to use images on my blog.  I'm so grateful for the places that help this happen for the blogging illiterate like myself.


I have created a new page where I link blogs that you can find free images.  I know that The Graphics Fairy, Karen, doesn't mind if you use her images for businesses, but the other blogs have their own rules.  Explore and found out what is available to you.


Go to this page to get more great images, like the ones I posted below.

Two Crazy 
C rafters


Magic Moonlight Free Images

The Graphics Fairy- Vintage Images, link to free backgrounds and headers.


Shabby Blogs.com- Backgrounds, Buttons, Banners and More

The Cutest Blog on the Block- Free Banner, Backgrounds and more.





There are more images found at Photobucket.com.  With Photobucket you can get the html codes thatt you need to create buttons, to upload to your blog.  You can upload your own graphics and photos to save, so you don't have to use all the space on your computer.  Picnik is one of the newest programs that I've discovered.  With Picnik I'm able to frame and decorate images and create banners any size I want.  The banners from the last few months were created there.  They have a wonderful collage program too.


I have posted the links to all of these blogs on my page called Free Graphics  which can be Found Here.  Go to this page to find these wonderful blogs.  Who doesn't love cute free images?  I want to give thanks to all of these blogs for being so generous to share their talents and resources to all of us.


Do you have any links to great resources for free graphics or blogging help?

Now I'm working on Creating Pages on my Blog

I don't know why I'm so stuborn that I have to do this myself.  I want the freedom to change my blog backgrounds but I also want it to look good and read smoothly. Sigh!!  I should pay someone to do this but....   If you scroll down the blog you can see that I'm making an attempt.  I'm also trying to get my layout to work.  Sigh!  I follow the directions and then it says  go to this or that page and I can't find it.

Later on today I finally figured out what to do.  I needed to move up my gadgets after I had changed the layout templates.  So I have carefully copied and pasted my button, my fellow blogger buttons and more.
