Do you like seeing photos in blog posts? Do the blogs you read most often include photos all the time, some of the time or never?<\/p>\n
I was just reading some blogging secrets<\/a>\u00a0(shhh don’t tell anyone!) from Chris Brogan and he suggests using a picture in every blog post. His argument is (and a sound argument it is) that it catches people’s eye so can draw them into your blog.<\/p>\n Some\u00a0people use pictures for inspiration for blog posts and some people blog about topics that really need images (I’m thinking in particular of someone like Lauren Perkins<\/a> who often blogs about artwork she is working on).<\/p>\n I occasionally add an image<\/a> to brighten up my blog and make it look more interesting, but don’t do it all the time because it may slow down the site itself, I write about writing so am not sure pictures suit my brand, and it isn’t always easy to find a relevant picture when you write about capital letters<\/a> or pairs of misused words<\/a>!<\/p>\n But I am curious – how effective do you think images are in blogs? Would you like to see images added to more or all of my blog posts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Do you like seeing photos in blog posts?
