Snap a Picture

Looking for a way to make your blog more appealing? Before using tools to cram traffic into your site, step back and take a hard look at it. Is your site visually appealing?

We all are not designers but there are several people that cater to creating templates for bloggers. Some provide their services for free to generate traffic to their sites and others charge. You can also buy premade templates from sites such as SIDesigns. But that is a discussion for another time.

 Posted by HelloRight now, without changing your template or layout and with no coding required, you can make your site more eye appealing simply by adding photos. With digital cameras dirt cheap and traditional photo processing offering "photo cds" anyone can now take pictures and easily upload them to the Internet. If you use Blogger you can use a program called Hello to upload your pictures to a free space hosted by Blogger. The program automatically resizes the photo, inserts it into your blog, and makes it clickable so that your views can see the larger original.

In October we discussed two tools for managing photos in the post Picasa is not Hello. Picasa is a tool for organizing your photos while Hello is a chat program designed for sending photos to other people. Since Google owns both of these as well as Blogger they are freely available and integrated with Blogger.

Make a more pleasureable reading experience for your readers with pictures!
