And best of all &#8211; it&#8217;s Free!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a member of the images-incite-interest delegation. I believe mere prose is sufficient to attract attention if it is the <i>right<\/i> prose, and I&#8217;m only interested in a picture if it does that work that <i>could<\/i> be done by a thousand words.<\/p>\n<p>But: I am a prototype without a production model, and many people writing here take exactly the opposite position, that pictures can make the post. That&#8217;s what makes horse races. And to be completely frank, sometimes the images our authors come up with knock me out.<\/p>\n<p>These are the weblogs I&#8217;ve upgraded:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloodhoundrealty.com\/BloodhoundBlog\/\" target=\"_blank\">BloodhoundBlog<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloodhoundrealty.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">BloodhoundRealty.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/distinctivephoenix.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">DistinctivePhoenix.com<\/a> &#8212; Cathy likes photos more than I do<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thebrickranch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">TheBrickRanch.com<\/a> &#8212; we host it, and Teri likes photos, too<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If it seems to work for people, I&#8217;ll add it everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>A word of caution: A Creative Commons license does not put an image in the public domain. Russell Shaw, for example, <i>loves<\/i> to make image mash-ups in photo-editing software. People similarly inclined should make sure the photographer permits you to mess with his or her images, rather than simply displaying them.<\/p>\n<p>How do you use it?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1.\tOnce you have the plugin activated, you will see a &#8220;Photo Dropper Browse Photos&#8221; panel right under your Write Post (or Write Page) editor.
