Cool blog image site

I tried out a new Web site today for getting images for my blog, and I mostly like it. The Web site, www.acobox.com, offers a wide variety of photos you can look up and use on your blog.

The main selling point of this site to me is how easy it is. All you do is select the image, and it provides code for the image for you to insert directly into your blog. The image above is an example of the photographs available, and I think they are all really high quality.

To get the code, you just have to tell the site what alignment you want for the photo (optional) and what width you want the photo to be (available in 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 px sizes) and it provides the code.

Overall, I found the site very user friendly and easy to navigate. That said, there are a few drawbacks:

• The site is made to operate in Internet Explorer, and as a Firefox user, I found this a bit frustrating.
• When creating a user account, you are e-mailed your password, which Acobox generates. This is really more of a personal preference than anything, and you can change your password to something memorable pretty easily when you first log in.
• While there are several different categories of photos, some categories have a very limited selection. I suspect this is because it is a fairly new site, and figure there will probably be many additions to the photo selection in the future.
