This means anything other than text.
If those "pin it or follow me" buttons, or smiley face emotion-cons added to the end of a sentence come before your pic that's what we see. We spend a great deal of time trying to take fun pics for our blogs, they should be the first thing folks see! Always post your own great pic first, then your "pin it's", etc. below... or folks might not even stop to look at what you took the time to create. I've noticed this on large and small blogs, that's why I thought it was important to share.
a very good reminder. yes, sometimes folks put the buttons for link-ups first and that is what then appears in the sidebars that show their blogs - instead of their perfect photo. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lynn. You're very blog savvy and always willing to be of service to others! Thank you. On another note, I foster for an animal shelter and recently received an email asking if I would be able to foster a pot-bellied pig. They're pretty cute, but I just wasn't able.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings, Beth
Good to know Lynn! Great tip! Hope you will join TUTORIALS TIPS AD TIDBITS this week. Linky goes live Wednesday evening at 8:00.
ReplyDeleteI bet so many people don't know this!
Good advice. This means the first photo should be the best of the lot. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood information. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this tip...I follow my own blog so when I post it comes up in my reader so I can make sure there are no surprises. I think that I have not seen what you are talking about but I will re-read this tomorrow when I am not falling asleep while typing.
ReplyDeleteHave a splendid weekend! xo
Thanks for sharing this information. Great tip!!
ReplyDeleteAs always, good advice. Have a good weekend. The heat is miserable in MA. and I intend to stay out of it as long as I can.
ReplyDeletethanx for the information ! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteyes, that should be in our mind. Its like the title of a newspaper. But sometimes hard to start with the main point for a good story. Thank you for this helpful tip.
Best greetings, Johanna
Very good reminder, Lynn! It's so natural to want to always show your "Before" or an "Inspiration" (which is usually someone else's) photo, & those aren't necessarily the best for getting people to tune in. I know I usually want to save my big "reveals" until I've done the "build-up, I'm going to try giving just a little "teaser" pic of the reveal as my first link & see how that works. Anyway, very good advice.
