Hi everyone, I want to make a header for my blog but because of all the copyright laws and such, I'm afraid to use images of my favorite books. Can someone tell me if it's alright to do that and if not, where can I get royalty free images that look like something you'd see on the cover of a romance novel?

I would like to have the posts from my blog (on blogger) feed into my book blogs page, but I can't figure out how to do that. Is there an easy way to do this? I noticed some other people's pages have links that say "ning.it" but I can't find info on how that works. Any advice?
