This is a bit cumbersome, and some users simply won\u2019t know how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From your point of view as a website owner or publisher, this is far from ideal. The image will be uploaded without any accompanying link, so you won\u2019t get any extra traffic to your site (and, unless the person sharing gives you credit, it won\u2019t even be clear that it\u2019s yours).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>The \u201ccross your fingers\u201d way<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many social networks will try to automatically pull in images from web content when someone enters a link into the social media post they\u2019re writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trouble with this method is that it\u2019s a bit hit and miss. If your user wants to share an image from part-way through your post, they may struggle to get the right image to appear (and even give up altogether in frustration).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>The share button way<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your site is set up with <a href=\"https:\/\/sharethis.com\/platform\/image-share-buttons\/\">image share buttons<\/a>, your readers can simply hover their cursor over <em>any<\/em> image and click the appropriate button to share the image on the social platform of their choice: easy!<br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stcustom-staccordion st-accordion-item undefined\"><a>How can I create images for my website?<\/a><div class=\"st-accordion-content\">\n<p>If you want to create your own images for your website, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<strong>Take your own photos. <\/strong>This is a great option if you\u2019re a skilled photographer: if you can\u2019t manage anything more than a quick snapshot on your phone, you might want to look for different ways to create images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Create your own screenshots. <\/strong>This is a simple way to create images for a \u201chow to\u201d or tutorial piece, or to get examples to use in an article. To take a screenshot, press the <em>Print Screen<\/em> (often abbreviated to <em>Prt Scn <\/em>or similar) on your keyboard, then paste this into an image editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>Use a site like Canva (or another online tool).<\/strong> Canva lets you create all sorts of images, from logos to social media posts, using a drag-and-drop interface.<br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stcustom-staccordion st-accordion-item undefined\"><a>Where can I find free images for my website?<\/a><div class=\"st-accordion-content\">\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to create your own images, some great sources of free images are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/\"><strong>Pixabay<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 this site has a wide range of free stock photos and other images. You can download them for free (though you need to register if you want to download the largest sizes).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/\"><strong>Unsplash<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>\u2013 this site specializes in high-quality photography, so if you want something a bit different, it\u2019s a
