When you write a quality content you need a quality image. Finding free images for your blog is very important to keep your reader focused and to show you how professional you are. Since images says 1000 words it is always best to find the best images for your blog. You can get high quality images for 1/2 $ for a simple use, but getting the photo for free will save your pocket. Only problems with free photos are that they are not very high quality. So without giving you the list of places where you can find free photos here is one site that will give you high quality images and  copyright free.

►Morgue File

It's the place for dead pictures. That means copyright free high quality thousands of images. You can also search for other paid money using dream time. The best thing about this site is that it allows you to embed your picture right from their site. You can also crop the photo as you like and if you wish to give credit you can also do so using their all ready code. If you are unsure about the license click here to check that out.

Instructions:

1.  Go to www.morguefile.com

2.  Write the keyword for the free photos from upper right corner search box and click search

It's always a good idea to give credit for image if you are not sure to avoid any conflict later on. This website is great because it allows you to use the image link right from their site. If you use blogger or similar site/ host there is a limited amount of MG/GB you can use, so it's always good to use the linking src. If you don't know how to do it, and how you can drive more traffic using the photo you can check out my other tutorial about how to customize your image for blogging to drive more traffic.

Find information about a website fast

Sometimes we need to verify and check a site before acting and trusting a site. For that you can use your simple browser's trust ranks. But if you need more information about the website and/admin you can do so this days using several websites. Those websites give you the information about site registration and the information they provided. Here is some of my favorite sites for this job.

►Whois.Net
This site lets you search information about a site very easily and without having tons of ads popping up. You can also search for a site using keywords and check for a domain space form here. It will also provide with extra link if available on the site of your search for more information.


►Networksolutions.com/whois
This site has relatively more advertise involved but it is fast and provide information you need. Using this tool you can also search for a  site using either domain name or IP address. You can also look at underlying registry data for the site you are looking for. 


►Whois.sc
 This site provides good information and all information that are available on the source you were looking for. The best thing about this site is it's organizing way of showing the information and advertise

►Who.is
This website is a new website that provides information similarly as other information site. This is on number 3 because of it's speed and too much unorganized advertises. In this site you can see the birth and expiration date of the site in addition.


►Quarkbase.com
This site provides almost all the information you need for your search. This site has difficulty loading new site's information up fast. But using this you can see the people who shared the site on social sites like twitter and blog that was been shared the link. 




These are some of my favorite and most popular sites 'now' to find basic information of a website. if you want to suggest or know any other good sites on the same job be sure to comment below.

Create music online fast and free

If you have heard that we can do anything in the internet, well your wrong but one thing you can do is making music. There are several websites and web apps that allows you to create simple and fast music using royalty free or conditional loops. If you are a podcaster, YouTuber or just looking for to use simple music bits of your won then you can check out this list.



►Soundation Studio
   
My personal favorite for it's simplicity The tools are advanced and very easy to use. You can either choose from hundreds of free loops to create your music or you can use premium sounds. Another great thing about this is that you don't even have to register, which you can for saving and sharing your music on the cloud.

►Jam Studio

Jam studio is another free to use simple and fast music creator online. Feature thing about this tool is that you can move around the interface to suit and work with and very easily. It also has lots of customized beat and built in loops with it. The only thing I don't like much about this site is that you have register (which is free) to save the music. 

►Aviary


This tool is rather hard for new users. It is good for very customized music beats you create. This doesn't have free loops to use with and you need to login to save and download.

►LoopLabs


These are similar websites that allows you to create 
music using loops. I personally never used any of those but I can say they wok fine. The thing that scared me at first was that there was a big button on the first page to agree with their terms and condition. I recommand you to check the terms out before going into it.
