Shock Value: Create a riviting Blog Post with Macabre Images

Those folks at DeviantArt.com send chills down my spine - these are ideal ways to create controversy in your posts.

There are some really talented, sick, twisted minds out there - and Deviant provides access to them - check these images out.

I've thought about maybe adding a search refinement just for Deviant because, well, they're so deviant. ;-)

GimmeFreeContent Launches

I was having lunch with a few of our customers last week and one of them remarked that it was a pain looking through all the free content sites for images, articles, and stories that can be reused for blog posts and articles. I had also experienced this - the Creative Commons directories are wonderful, but not as friendly as good'ol Google's format and layout. And the new Creative Commons filters in Google are excellent, but your searches include the entire web - not always ideal if you're trying to narrow your scope to professional produced images, videos, and text.

Sooo... I decided to build a comprehensive aggregation of all the great content sites that are free (or mostly free) and host it at GimmeFreeContent.com (Note: the DNS may still be propagating). This search engine is still a youngster with plenty of room for growth, but like the content it recommends, it is free to use so spread the URL.

I also have plans to add more free content directories and lots of other resources related to helping you blog faster and better. Be sure to submit your suggestions and comments - I'm sure this could be greatly improved and I'm confident many of you know of some great resources.
