  I know it’s possible to upload any pictures and cite those pictures. Thus is the capabilities of the WordPress overlords. To add to the compliments, I love the recommendations of images on the lower right column while I am typing a blog post. Since loading is slow on my computer, going between all these different pages can be difficult and time consuming. Blogging isn’t exactly paying the bills, so I can’t be taking 40hrs a week on it. The recommendations make it much more efficient to grab a quick pic to illustrate my post. Most of the recommendations I use come from Wikipedia but I would love to use more pictures from deviantart.com, as a supporter of the arts. Starving artists and starving writers have a lot in common. Don’t you think WordPress should add deviantartists pics to our recommended pictures that are automatically generated on the same page as we write our posts? It would increase the flow of customers to individual artists on the site and increase the responsibility of citing, since that program also makes citing a lot easier and more accurate.

  What do you guys think? Support for deviantart becoming a source for beautiful art on the subject we write on instead of boring stock? It would probably take WordPress and deviantart both to help, since the artists might have to choose to be apart of this program. But don’t you think it’s worth it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We can choose to use images form deviantart or not. If what you suggest is that we only use images form there then I don’t support that.

  What kind of images are you searching for because I, and the group who run this “new” blog are all Artists and most of us have DeviantArt accounts or you could commission us to paint, draw, etc on whatever you might need. We are always looking for new supports, if you want to contact us please email: (email visible only to moderators and staff) – A.
