What First Impression Does Your Blog Give Off?

Posted by Jimmy as Design, Images, Opinion, Tips First impressions last, or so they say. To be fair, first impressions do not always stand the test of time. There are times when first impressions are false and perceptions change through time. But then again, when talking about your blog and new readers, would you take the risk of not converting a first time visitor to a returning one merely because of a so so first impression? I thought not. So, have you taken a look at your blog lately? I mean really LOOK â€“ from an outsiderâ€™s point of view. What impression does ...

Adding Interest to your Blog: Images and Multi-media Content

Posted by Guru as Images, Tips Though I rarely add images in my posts here and have lots of pure text entries, it is actually advisable to occasionally add other elements to your blog posts to keep it more interesting. Remember you do not want one time readers only but want to get people to keep on returning. Making sure that your blog is pleasing to the eye (and never ending long lines of text is definitely NOT pleasing to the eye) is one way to make the blog more interesting and worth checking out regularly.

Blogging with photos

Posted by Professor as Creating a Blog, Hosting, Images

Sometimes a picture is truly worth a thousand words. If you prefer showing off your photography or art skills rather than your words, you can always make a photoblog. A photoblog is a type of blog that gets regularly updated with photos, though it's not the only content it can have. Offer a bit of poetry to go with the breathtaking mountain view you took on a vacation or explain what it means to you. Chronicle an event through a series of photographs and make your readers feel like they were there. Or simply share ...

Finding Images for your Blog Posts

Posted by Jimmy as Images, Tips One problem that many bloggers encounter is trying to find an image to accompany their posts. Actually the problem isnâ€™t really finding an appropriate image but an image that can be used legally without needing to get express permission from the owner/creator. This isnâ€™t that big a problem for me here at Blog Tutorials since I very rarely use images to accompany posts. However, I can still sympathize with other bloggers who need to find images on a regular basis. Because of this I looked for ways to find images available for republishing in blogs. I then came upon Rhysâ€™ recent ...

Alt-Tags: For Spiders and the Visually Impaired

Posted by Guru as Design Features, Images, Marketing and Search Optimization, SEO Features Lots of people underestimate the importance of Alt-Tags. Even though SEO experts time and again stress the importance of Alt-Tags many still do not bother with it at all, or if they use it, do not consistently do so. To be honest, I belong to the inconsistent group. Alt-tags ARE very important. SEO-wise the absence of alt-tags will ensure that your images and other embedded media will NOT be indexed by spiders since they will be unable to determine the actual content of each embedded element. Being a parent of a child with special needs though, I am very sensitive about ...
