Featured Images on ActiveRain - Me Likey!

So there's a new feature on ActiveRain. Or should I say there's a feature on ActiveRain that's new to me! :)

The Featured Image. I think the Featured Image is a great idea and is a very good thing for our blogs and ActiveRain as a whole. If you're familiar with online activity, and who isn't, you know that pictures are HUGE (I just heard Donald Trump in my head when I wrote that...) for getting viewer/reader attention, and getting Google attention.

I've made it my personal goal to add a Feature Image to all my new blogs. I've even contemplated going back to previous posts as well, although that's a ton o' work, Jacky-boy!

I think for now I will just make it a new habit and see how it goes.....

I also think it was good to include them across the board, like re-blogs for instance. It gives the re-blogger a chance to add a visual to what the blog meant to them. How do you feel about the Featured Image? Any thoughts or revelations?

I agree. I'm still not used to it so sometimes forget.

Photos are essential to incude in every posrt, preferably more than one. The featured image gives us a change to go one better and have an image show at the very top, which is properly titled, can help with SEO

Jeff Dowler and the SEO is sooooo important to remember, even if Google would prefer us to write and design our content without considering SEO! Lol!

I live a mere 90 miles from the Golden Gate bridge.  And, I'm very fond of it.  What you may not know, is that on the ground those arches on the left side of the photo, sits Fort Point, an old Civil War era fort.
