We all love a bit of eye candy. Hmmm, I haven't used pics in my last few posts. I should focus on that for the next ones. Take care, Andrew Blaine,

Interesting or related images give a post just a little more oomph, especially in a feed reader. Since so many people access content through feed readers rather than at the source, this could be more important than ever. I alway sigh a little when I see a long wordy post in my feed reader without any sort of breaks or images. There are lots of cheap and free images sources out there. For instance, I've found lots of pictures associated with DNA, my topic of choice. Great post! #11 – No pictures!

Too much of "this is what I did today" gets boring, but a blog in which the writer's personal life is never mentioned is also boring.

I try to think that everyone can be interesting, but maybe they just don't express things well. Who knows? Thanks for your thoughts, Andrew Owen,

I would clarify that you just can't be stale. Of course it all depends upon your niche, as you put out. But some blogs can write more timeless articles, which keeps the content from feeling stale even months later. Have a great weekend, Andrew Mark,
