Getting images for your blogs / social media

So Getty announced that they were releasing 35 million of their images to be used however you like with some limitations. To do so you need to embed them (follow the 'search embed images' link at the bottom of the instructions) but the image is displayed as an iframe and may not show up if your blog is posted as a link to your social media websites.

A better way is to go for Creative Commons images and you can search using their search interface through different collections. Just remember to attribute the image ... I like just linking it back to the author's original page as below.
