Take a Picture… Really!

   Posted by: IMWR    in Resources

Stock Photos, Videos and Audio When I went looking for an image to put in the header at IMWeeklyRoundup.com, it was a “no-brainer” to head on over to iStockPhoto.com—I’ve been using them for years for images both for website and for offline publications. Their artists are superb and the prices are very reasonable, so I go back to them time and again.

What many members of the site don’t know, however, is that it offers a “Free Image of the Week,” “Free Vector [Drawing] of the Month,” and “Free Video of the Month,” yes, all free for download. Sign up now and you can begin downloading free, high-quality media for use on your website and blog.

Bonus: Free stock sound effects

First Milestone for IM Weekly Roundup

   Posted by: IMWR    in News

Wow: issue #10! This is a big one for me, because my previous attempts at a newsletter have ended in dismal failure. It’s tough to keep up the momentum at times, but I appreciate the comments some of you have made to encourage me.

As of issue #9, all of the previous newsletters are online. The site has a unique look, in keeping with the “roundup” theme, but I’m not done with the features behind the scene. I’ll continue to tweak the site to give you the best experience possible.

Individual newsletters are listed on the front page, just as lists of links leading to the specific resources in each issue. This allows me to keep the resources grouped like you read in the newsletter, while allowing you to comment on each resource separately.

Again, thanks for your comments, which help me to make this the resource you want.
