You used photos, videos, drawings --- visuals!
I'm amazed, and dismayed, by how few bloggers consistently add visual content to their posts. A sea of words is daunting and dull. Magazines and newspapers know they must seduce readers into their material, not simply subject them to an unbroken and wearying sea of type.

Great review of the do's and don'ts - definitely worth a read.
Thanks for sharing this, D.A. Great tips!
