If you post a lot of your blog's content onto Facebook, you really need to include a picture with your blog posts to make it look good, stand out and not look like everything else you post on your Facebook Fan Page or profile.

Which is where this fab plugin comes in – Photodropper for Wordpress searches Flickr for pictures that you ARE allowed to use, and allows you to put them into your blog posts, along with the proper accreditation and copyright notice – all at the touch of a few buttons!

19jan10aIt’s been a little while since I updated, but I think I have a good excuse :)

Some of you may remember me posting about my pregnancy – well Olivia Niamh was born 2 weeks early on 20th February, taking us a little by surprise.

See, I’d planned to be a good little blogger and practice what I preach. I’d written and set up scheduled blogs for all of my clients, I’d planned the blogs I was going to write for myself, and then I was out of time – so no blogs from me for the last week!

A question I’m asked a lot, and one of the things that may help is something I covered in my blog over on Birds on the Blog today – Make your blog posts answer questions for more targeted traffic.

Feel free to nip over there and add your blog to the comments so I can help you out too!

?It’s one of the questions I dread the most, and I always giggle nervously when it gets asked.

“So who else do you write blogs for?”

See, we ‘ghostwrite’ blogs for loads of different industries – just thinking off the top of my head of the blog posts I’ve written today, they’ve been for:

  • a women’s coaching website
  • a cosmetic surgeon
  • a company providing workwear
  • a video production company
  • a telemarketing company
  • a website selling children’s clothes
  • a car rental website
  • a business networking website

to name but a few.
