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 ...

Write your own stuff, don’t leech from another blog!

Posted by Professor as Design and Themes, Opinion, Tips, Writing diary text from a photo on morguefile

There was a time that I heard about people who plagiarize blogs. I find it weird since some of the blogs that have been plagiarized were talking about personal matters. Think of it this way. If you wrote something like: This is one of the most wonderful days of my life. I have a new job, a chance to be with my best friend for an entire weekend and a new cel. Yes! It all happened in one week. The most awesome seven days of my life, thus ...

Focusing on the Sidebar: Show me the Money!

Posted by Jimmy as Design, Monetization Last time I mentioned how the sidebar contributes to the blog in terms of aesthetics and usability (navigation), one thing I failed to mention though is that the sidebar can also be very important in terms of monetization.

The sidebar is important because it contributes to your blog in two major ways - navigation and aesthetics. When choosing the type of sidebar to go with you have to make sure you always factor in both. Aesthetics - The sidebar should always complement your blog's over all graphical design.

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 ...
