You can get free ones all over Google, but so can everyone else. If you want to spend a few bucks to get unique graphics, I've heard that:

Stock Photography: Search Royalty Free Images & Photos

is the place to go. I've never been willing to spend that few bucks, but I've gotten the same website recommendation from three different people at three different times, so my guess would be that that's the gold standard.

Yes, you can easily go to images.google.com and find images.

I use istockphoto (as ksarner mentioned) for 99% of my images. They are extremely professional and you have legal rights to use them.

Another option for images is Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing.

I appreciate you sharing this info with me . I did check out a few sites, but couldn't find anything close to the graphics the members have here. Thanks again, I was lost, but not any more.

That's because most of them you see come from Glitter Graphics: your resource for Myspace graphics and Myspace layouts!, I guarantee you will find what you want there.

I like the glitter graphics because they really get your attention... don't you agree? Thanks for this link, it was so easy to get signed up with them.

NP, but you don't even have to join to use their graphics, I never did. They do have nice graphics.

I prefer Photobucket as well

you can search and get some really nice animated ones

Photobucket and glitter graphics are the main 2 most of us use to just send friendly graphics, or graphics we use on our trading thread . . . and both are free accounts. I then create files and save messages from both glitter graphics and photobucket in files on photobucket.

Hope this helps a bit further . . . Terry

Thanks every one for the helpful suggestions and links, appreciate it very much. Will check these out and see if I can create something that will be eye catching. thanks again

**sparkle73** · 06-21-2009, 01:39 PM

Thanks for sharing this info, will look into it.

If you are not using photobucket what other way can you use to get the graphics on the site? BTW thanks for this advice, valuable

Do you copy and paste them on directly from the site they are on to this one, save them on my computer, or just copy and paste them in my signature or what???????????

I am not sure what others do, but I send the graphics I like to myself in a pm and then I move them to a folder titled "graphics"!!! Then I just click on the forward and delete the [quote]~~then just copy and paste!!
