I like to use to use images to help illustrate the theme or point of a blog post. It's a proven “best practice” in blogging and I highly recommend that every blogger do it.
One trick for easily finding and properly using images in your blog posts is to search the creative commons licensed photos on the photo sharing site Flickr.

One day they're supposedly Creative Commons. The next day the owner changes his mind and they not usable by the public. Howe will you be able to protect yourself? Answer: you won't unless you take a screen shot showing the image marked as Creative Commons and usable.
