Images Does It Matter?
by Vic on December 13, 2007
Now folks I know for marketing reasons of course images are needed and for bringing the eye to focus to a point but this is my question. Does it matter to you folks if I use images on my post or not? The reason I ask is because as most of you guys know my plate right now is like way full, you can notice on my post that sometimes I commit one of the golden no no rules and I do not even proof read what I wrote so it is all over the place including spelling errors.
I know I am a weirdo there is no doubt about that so I can not follow my own weird way of looking at things. For example to me I really do not care for images on “how to” articles because all I am interested in is the information I need. But I know some people love to see really cool images inside a post.
So my question is. Just for me here at Blogger Unleashed would it matter to you folks if I do not use images inside a post unless I really have to?

Mmmmm Hellooooo guys this post was intended as a question. Anybody, anybody mmm.
Yeah Vic images suck you really do not need to use them in the post. Your information is so important that people really do not need the cheesy images. Rock on Vic.
Thanks Vic, let's see what the rest of the group thinks.
Well this is probably my 20th visit to the site today, so Id say its all good, I type with 4 maybe 4 1/2 fingers most of the time, if I didn't correct you would think I was typing in hieroglyphics ,spell that word 3 times fast!
LMAO my wife says I try to write what ever comes to my mind and do not look back. Ohh well again maybe move on to podcasting.
Your site in my my mind wouldn't be much different without them, I generally just look at how many typos you have in your content and wonder, sometimes aloud, how does he get away with that? However, I don't see adding images as labor intensive work or effort,darn I guess I offered you both answers, I say no , you don't need them
LMAO I get away with the typos because at the end of the day a perfect written post about bullshit is still bullshit.
I actually make money online and besides that I support with that money all the people that use Blogging Zoom to promote there work. Or you think running a site like BZ is free?
So I am sorry If I do not have time to actually do a full check to make sure that I did not make a mistake on a word.
But hey I might be wrong maybe I should not worry about making money on all the other projects we are working on a daily basis and I should focus more on my grammar mmm maybe you are right.
Thanks for the advice
I don't mind about images or no images. I just take a glance anyway and though it does prep up the post a bit, i never look again at them afterwards.
So just blast away. Spelling errors, "F" words everything! LOL.
LMAO Tnx Costa
I can't post here from work since your anti-spam bot doesn't like IE7 which I have to use there.
I don't think you need images here unless you're using them to make a point.
I use them on OpTempo because of the magazine style theme that sort of demands them and to provide extra 'eye candy' and the occasional pithy aside in the alt attribute.
Tnx Frank and I will get on it right now either fix it or scratch it.
Ok Frank for now mm no image. So you should be fine from IE7 now
Screw em. Who cares if you use images? It's all about the info on this site.
Tnx Jason with everything I do in a daily basis It would really suck to also find pictures for my post. Sometimes I do not even go back and read the horrors I did in my spelling but again my time is really precious right now.
I think images are more for the search or social visitor than those who would regularly read a site. Usually that is.
I'll read this site images or not.
Thanks James
to use image or not, it your call…doesn't matter to me. Though, it would be good if some of your points is in a list format. Easier to read.
I will surely work on that.
We certainly don't think you need images. Don't waste your valuable time.
It is more important that you keep the incredibly valuable information coming than it is for you to waste time finding images!
