Default Re: Insomnia Thread...

There are two other good things you can do to get more visibility to your blog. When you are posting pictures in your post click on the picture. This will give you more settings. I think one says caption. You can add a caption that is directly linked to the photo. This way when someone goes online and types that name they may find your picture. The search bots can not identify images unless they are named. So try that out on your pictures. Name them and with enough hits they'll start popping up on search engines as an example of the word you chose.

I know when I go online I want to see what a fruit or plant looks like I type the name and the picture pops up. Without a label it is just a jpg file or whatever.

Another tip. Under every post (when editing) you'll see something that says label and a place to enter stuff. This is a good way to organize your posts so people can search for what they want. So if you write about germination, and tomatoes, you might want to type those two words there. Then someone viewing your site can click on tomatoes and it will pull up all articles with that label or "keyword" in it. So if you get into a habit of adding labels to all your posts that helps the viewer find the information they are looking for.

Just some tips. Hope that helps.

If you look at my blog on the right I have a list of tags. Those are all my labels.

See what I mean?
