I also appreciate pictures in a blog, since whatever image the blogger chooses to capture tends to drive the blogger's emphasis home as effectively as the blog post itself. Exhibit A: the snapshot of the guy accompanying this blog post. When I look at that picture in relation to your post, I see a guy who is staring down at a computer screen and celebrating with fist pumps that he has found a "way to defeat the doldrums!" Lol. Makes me want to root for him. Thank you for the practical advice and encouraging other bloggers to show their humanness!JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-78089821440864250522010-11-03T16:11:32.481-07:002010-11-03T16:11:32.481-07:00Katie,

I can only spare so much time in the week for blog hopping so I appreciate blogs with short but "good stuff". <br /><br />One thing I think is important too is our visibility at other's blogs. I've gained many followers by being seen at another blog.<br /><br />Good post. Always thinking about ways to improve and maintain my blog, so this is much appreciated.<br /><br />Happy Wednesday,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-9158921804038040982010-11-02T19:47:47.199-07:002010-11-02T19:47:47.199-07:00Yvonne,

I have major A.D.D. and so if your don't catch my attention when that small window is open, forget it, you lost me! lol I also believe that catchy titles lures the reader in but in order to keep them you must have something more to keep them coming back. Great tips, thanks!Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038918668619367960noreply@blogger.com
