I agree with Lunar01, it would be better if you take actual photos of the dishes you make rather than depend on stock photos that you can lift from other people's websites. Whether they are free or not, I doubt if they would add credibility to your recipes. Just always have your digital camera ready and take shots of things you want to post online. In my blog, I only use stock photos or videos if I was really given permission by the owner/s or if they come with a press kit CD. But mostly, I use my own photos and place watermarks on them so it would be hard for others to just copy and post on their websites. But if you really have no choice but to use photos from the internet, give your source some credit by mentioning something like: "Photo courtesy of so-and-so website." At least, if anybody questions it, you can easily take it down and replace it with another one without being liable to accusations that you stole the photo in the first place. Hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with how Triod works but you may give it a try. Photo courtesy just means you place a small note under the photo you want to use to acknowledge the link (or website/person/blog owner) where you got it from if it is not really yours. Good luck!
