I’ve been focusing recently on blogging tips for new bloggers. Blogs are a new frontier of sorts, I was reminded while reading (a blog) today. This is virtually (no pun intended) an untapped field to explore. The rules are loose and ever-changing and blogging – in some form or another- is here to stay for a good long while.
I ran across another link from Links I’m Loving by Girl on the Move that I really must share, especially for all you new bloggers. This post is entitled 9 Things Bloggers Should Do. I am especially loving number 4 because I didn’t really know this.
Sondra says: Link Photos
Similarly, you can assign a link to your photos. If, for instance, you refer to a previous post in a blog, you can insert a photo, and go into your info on that pic and plug in the link to that previous post to make it easy for your reader to check it out… thus spending more time on your site! I will actually link the following photo to the post where it originally appeared.
I do know to rename photos instead leaving them with the numerical number assigned them, but linking was a new concept for me.
If you want to read the other 8 blogging tips she shares (and I strongly urge you to do so) then visit her site by clicking here: 9 Things Bloggers Should Do.
There are great resources out there to help you not only start a blog but to take it to the next level.
Thanks for reading blogging tips~
I do the linking thing. 🙂 But I always wonder if I should be adding a second photo in because if I add the link then when someone is on the first post and if someone clicks the photo, it will reload the same page. I guess if that happens it’s not that big of deal because they’re just going to the same place. Am I making sense? I didn’t get much sleep last night.
