I get them mostly through Google image search using some their filters you'll find in the left column. Just keep a few things in mind if you use it.

If possible try and keep the image size relatively small. The images often have an option for different sizes when you mouse over them. The copy and paste process will not always work as you think it should, and you will also run into some other problems, but nothing to worry about. Just make sure to always preview your post to make sure it appears the way you want it before you post. Occasionally you'll find that some sites will block your linking to their images to save their bandwidth.

Another thing is to make sure you don't use images that show any copyright markings, including watermark indicators. Be careful there; some watermarked images are a little difficult to see at times. Always protect TOTV from any potential problems that could arise by posting copyright material, regardless of how unlikely any problems might seem.
