How to Choose Effective Website Photos and Images by Sandra Niehaus

Reading

I am currently reading Part 1 of the three part article: How to Choose Effective Website Photos and Images

Not all images are created equal. The right image on a web page can capture attention, inform, and even persuade your site visitors. The right image can communicate who you and your company are more quickly and powerfully than words alone can do. The wrong image, however, can confuse, annoy, and even repel your visitors. The wrong image can give your audience a negative impression of your product, service, or company that you may never have a chance to correct.

The article is very well written with lots of illustrations to emphasis her points.

As you may have noticed, I went back and added images to the posts that were lacking them. I actually started doing research on adding images (for free!) after I installed the LinkWithin plugin since it works better and looks more crisp on posts with images.

Unfortunately, many of the image purchase options are out of the price range of my poor bedraggled blog but I have found some neat alternatives that I will be reviewing shortly and will make your life as a blogger so much easier!

Stay tuned…

  • Well said. I never thought I would agree with this opinion, but I'm starting to view things from a different view. I definitely want research more on this as it seems very interesting. One thing I don't get though is how everything is related together.

  • Hi There,

    I found you via MBC. I think you are probably following my blog, if you followed everyone in the 100 group that was there in 2010. Just following back. :)

    I get some images from FLICKR if they have a community commons? license, you have to go through advanced search. I'm looking forward to reading the article. I use a lot of photos.

    Cheers!!

  • i was beginning to sense i would probably end up being the only individual whom thought about this, at least at present i realize im not weird :) i will make it a point to see a number additional threads when i get a tad of caffeine in me, it's arduous to read without my coffee, I was until the wee hours of the morning last evening jamming zynga poker and after polishing off a few brewskies i finished up burning off all my zynga poker chips take care :)

  • Because they didn't finish reading the ebook they missed the part about how to use keywords or WordPress tags properly. This is a big deal because keywords or WordPress tags are used when indexing your articles with search engines. So if you want to get your article indexed by the search engines then you need to use the proper keywords or WordPress tags.

  • I really like the fresh perspective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there’s an individual out there that definitely understands what he’s discussing. Great job!

  • howdy notable little web site you have here :) I am using the identical theme on mine however for whatever odd explanation it seems to reload sooner on this site despite the fact that the one you have contains much more multimedia. Are you currently applying any individual plug ins or widgets which will speed it up? If you could give the names so I would be able to use these in my personal online site so twilight breaking dawn users could watch twilight new moon online trailers and films more easily I'd always be grateful – thanks ahead of time :)
