I've already downloaded some images that I like and will be utilizing them for my blog.  I hope to have that up soon.  The site has tons, I mean tons of photos to sift through.  There were so many that I liked especially the creative artsy photos.  They also had great photos for any businesses to use especially for beauty, cosmetics, and makeup.  I also liked the fact that most photos are affordable (at less than $1) or Free which is always nice.  Fotolia is great for us bloggers as it gives us great images to use and showcase in our blogs.
