Make Your Blog Posts Catch Attention
Not a pretty thought, is it? We set a record low for the date of 14 degrees last night at the Tallahassee airport. I sure wouldn’t want my car to veer off the road and plunge into the lake in THIS weather.
Or – actually – any other weather.
And what if that car was your blog? You sure don’t want your blog drowning, either. And that graphic you see might actually help you keep your blog afloat & effective.
Studies show there’s a big advantage, consistently, to including a graphic in your blog post. More people will start to read the post, and more will finish it. With a WordPress blog, it’s easy to add a graphic in your post.
Now … about graphics.
You can’t just right-click and “Save” any graphic you see online. Most of them are copyrighted.
However, there are some really good online sources of graphics. These 3 all have free graphics and some also have pay-for graphics, that you may find worthwhile:

Just learned a new tip.
Your Comments does not like me to give my URL, http://www.WilmasWebsite.com that is redirected to my blog.
Question: Will this be likely on most blogs/websites?
I learn something new every day.

Wilma,
Go to your Google page and click on “My Account”. In the back office, you have the choice to sign up for Google Feed Reader. Do that. Then after you click to sign up for an RSS feed, just click on the “Google” button, and follow instructions. It’ll go to your Feed Reader.

I do not know why it would be that way. I’ll see if I can figure it out.

Thanks for the photo links. I also find they make a blog post more interesting. I use a page call http://www.joongel.com.
You can pick a catagory for pics, or videos. And you get 3 options free, or pay, or samples. Great stuff to choose from.

Richard,
I love Net Traffic Machine.
Thanks for the sources of good free graphics. I utilize Net Traffic Machine as a place for where to find quality graphics instead of saving those URLs myself and then trying to remember where the heck I saved them.
I’m also wanting to get an Autoresponder. Do you have any good suggestions on some that are good and either free or inexpensive?
Thanks a bunch,
