Adding photos to your blog posts can be a great way to visually convey your written message as well as bring an added entertainment element.
I’ve just come across a great WordPress Plugin called Photo Dropper that’ll save you time and energy when it comes to adding photos to your posts.
This plugin searched for Creative Commons licensed photos-images that are licensed for shared use-and lets you drop them into your posts right from the WordPress visual editor.
Once you install and activate the plugin a new icon will show in the “Upload/Insert” area of your post editor. Simply place your cursor where you want the photo to be inserted and click the PhotoDropper icon and search for images related to your keywords.
After you find an image you like, you can select from a small, medium or large version of that picture and the image and the photo credits will be added to your post.
Let me know how using this plugin works for you by leaving a comment below.
Awesome Tip, Mande — thank you.
This is a great suggestion. There is no doubt that adding photos adds a new level to blog posts. It almost makes posts feel more personal, even though nothing is being said (err…written). Either that, or pictures simply add some color to a blog and make it feel more alive than just a wall of text.
