Once your wish list is created, you and your friends and family can check Amazon and Ebay for the gifts to making shopping easy.

This was a fun little side project where I got to better my programming skills slightly. A little help from Adam and his programming expertise it’s up and ready for the holidays.

PicApp

PicApp

PicApp has just made life easier for bloggers and web content creators with their innovative news and stock photo website. All their images are free and legal for you to use. This is super convenient to bloggers looking for images for their posts. With PicApp there’s no more worries on finding free and legal photos to use.

The picture below from PicApp of Larry Fitzgerald comes from a game that was played just earlier today between the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks. When you use a PicApp image it also offers thumbnails of additional images and the option for others to embed the image.

Arizona Cardinals v Seattle Seahawks

PicApp is easy to use. All you have to do is search for the image you desire, click on it, then copy and paste the code into your blog. PicApp has also partnered up with some major content providers like Getty Images, Corbis, Pacific Coast News, and Newscom just to name a few, to bring you premium images. On top of all that PicApp is always updating with new content as you can see from the Larry Fitzgerald image from a game that finished no more than a few hours ago.

For funsies lets search for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and embed some images. I got a badass picture of Optimus Prime and the stunning Meagan Fox.

Premiere Of DreamWorks' "Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen" - Arrivals

The only downside is that the image code automatically links back to the image at PicApp, but that’s nothing that can’t be changed with a little HTML editing. (Update: The link must stay intact, it’s part of their terms)

Worry free image use, what more can you ask for. When you’re looking for stock images or up to date news images I think you got start at PicApp.
