Comments on: Blogging Without Pictures – Breaking The Rules? http://www.martinkoss.com/blogging/blogging-without-pictures-breaking-the-rules/ I don't mean to be so opinionated and argumentative, it's just me...

Hi Vicki. Thank you for adding your thoughts to the 'conversation' about 'Blooging With (or without) Pictures'.

I agree with you that some blogs are not very well written and I think many add pictures just to fill the space more than the very short and sweet post takes up – but I also think that sometimes a very short and to the point post sits fine by itself, picture or no picture.

You're most welcome for the link. I thoroughly enjoy your writing – you have a great creative way of merging a bit of humour with a serious point – and many of your pictures work too – they subtly enhance the post rather than distract from it.

I've been thinking a little about pictures too recently, and have come to the conclusion that they really need to be about the post, and if you can't find the perfect picture that illustrates how to 'self-love' (<a href="http://www.vegemitevix.com/2010/04/how-to-self-love/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vegemitevix.com/2010/04/how-to-self-...</a> for example hee hee) then you're better off leaving it out! I think pictures can be a huge distraction if they don't fit the context of the post, but then as you know I'm more of a writer than a photographer so I would say that wouldn't I! Mind you, sometimes I wonder whether the writing is enough in itself also. Many of the very large blogs are not neccessarily well written. What makes them popular? Is it the pictures? :-) (thanks for the link btw I really appreciate it!!) Good point Martin.
