Good morning guys, this is @bait002 the founder of the offline minnow school where minnows are mentored and groomed. I have been writing to help those who need to learn image optimisation for some days now and today, I will still be talking from that legal point of view. The golden maxim through this blogging series remains;
>write as though you have a reputation to protect because, you truly do...



## What to expect in this series

* where to find images.
* how to select good images.
* technical aspect relating to format and web compatibility. 
* legal issues about images.
* Lastly, some additional tools to use.

## Tools that can help you with your blog’s images and photos

My intention is to give you a lost of tools that will aid you to make images easy to use. And below is the best I can adapt to for the time being without going out of my way.

Just like always, if you feel I skipped an important point or probably missed some of the points you expected to be included in this series, please do well to let me know in the comment section.

Below is a complete list of royalty free websites for photos
There’s a huge list that I have put together from various sources that may help you find images and photos for your blog; the list is kind of huge and hope you appreciate it. However, I will be giving you just five in this particular post;

1. Flickr
Flickr is actually a very big place to find free images or photos just as long as you give credit the image creator or photographer and you are not supposed to make profit off it. You can filter the search to narrow down posts that suit your topic.

2. Pixabay
Wow! I love pixabay. It is an incredible website with over half a million images and photos that you can use for free. I mean literally free. I use pixabay most of the time.

3. Gratisography
This is a very cool site with some awkward photos that you can usually use without giving credit. However, it’d still recommend that you give credit as much as you can.

4. Picjumbo
This is a free resource site. However, you can subscribe for premium membership to gain access to more features. Their images are of very high quality.

5. Unsplash
Unsplash is known for their timely and frequent uploads of photos. The website also allows you to use images without attribution.


The next post will contain some more tools. At the end of this segment, you will be having 15 different tools in total.


Thank you very much for reading this series thus far. I'm am Bait and I am bringing words from the offline minnow school.

For those who seek to know what this project is all about, you can read that below;


## PHASE 1:

At this stage we teach some minnows a,t our offline classroom to help attain self-sustenance. These minnows will then work with us as a team, reproducing other minnows. Currently, we have just wrapped up with Phase 1. And Phase 2 which is more demanding kicked off already.

## PHASE 2:

This basically is the core of the vision is to raise steem-backed entrepreneurs of young people. The method through which we execute the absolute idea goes as follows;
* SKILL ACQUISITION PROJECTS: where various skills will be taught to foster the emergence of new entrepreneurs that thrive on voluntarism.

* THE MINNOW SCHOOL TALENT HUNT: we greatly hope to give minnows who are not really writers but have other gifts such as singing, painting, dancing, acting a platform to express themselves and get their creativity beyond their minds. Basically, we are giving these young people a voice and ultimately awaken the writer in them.

* THE MINNOW SCHOOL ART/MUSIC EXHIBITIONS: here talented young people will get to showcase their talents and the value they have to offer to the community. We will be sponsoring art projects and professional music careers will emerge with this.
