I often get requests for the ability to add image captions to images. Technically, it’s a bit of a pain, so I usually recommend to just put some text under the photo or next to it. Better yet, use a photo gallery (e.g. NextGen). I just ran across the Image Caption Easy plugin and so [...]

Here’s a few I like: – stock.xchng (many are copyright and royalty free) – Stock Photos (pay a monthly fee and download all you want) – Alamy Images (prices vary, [...]
