Annoying ClipArt - Alternatives?

Microsoft ClipArt is extremely annoying, in that so few of the images are actually worth using. Seriously, folks, how bad are these silhouette figures (as at left)?! Why would Microsoft even bother insulting users with such lame images?
When I find some good free image sources, I'll post them here. Feel free to comment and share image sources....

Learning Contract

There is quite a cool downloadable Learning Contract (Word doc) on the 7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners tutorial website: http://www.plcmc.org/public/learning/player.html
Look for the Attachments link in the top right corner.

Blog Attachments

It seems that files (unlike images) can't be uploaded to Blogger. If any has found a way, please share....

Templates

I've been playing around with templates - I think that the one I'm using today is a little dark. Would love to find a rainbow template .... Google may help here.

General Comments

This is a fun project with which to be involved - it's refreshing to have "work" to do that is more like play!

Task 4

I registered my blog on LibNet yesterday.
I saved this blog, and then couldn't find it to continue editing! Discovered that, if you go to post a new blog, there is a choice to "Manage My Blogs" where you can edit saved posts.

Task 3

I had already previously set up a Blogger account prior to starting the UQL 23 Things program, but I've learned how to change the public URL to something different through my account settings. My new URL is http://uqally.blogspot.com.

Task 2

I've listened to the online tutorial: 7 1/2 Habits of Lifelong Learners
I downloaded a couple of attachments from the tutorial that looked useful. I'm going to add these as separate posts.

I also discovered that, when I upload images to Blogger, they automatically go into a Picasa Web Album: http://picasaweb.google.com/home
It was very easy to access, and only required a tiny amount of setup.

Task 1

I read the blog on http://uqlibrary.blogspot.com, and added an image just for fun.
