Images are fairly important to the success of a blog.  Not the only factor though.  End of the day, content is king. 

People will come back to your blog only if they find something of value. 

• Does your blog offer solutions?
• Does it offer help?
• Does it make people think?
• Does it answer questions?

stuff like that.

But images can get people to like the blog or the post page and that can help.


What is the image above got to do with what you are reading?

Well, some could say, it is an image, and others will find it appealing because it is the image of a good looking woman, holding a mac.  All about blogging (apparently!)

Here are some best practices to using images:

1. Use them at the top of the post.  to catch attention
2. Typically you should only have the image on top.  unlike my example here.
3. If you are going to use images in the blog post, make sure it is illustrate a particular point.
