In today’s mult-media world your blog content needs to include more than just the written word. First it was pictures and images followed by podcasts that took the blogging world by storm, at least in certain circles. Now people looking for videos to satisfy their online needs.
Along the way there was a brief flirt with live feeds which are still popular with some online sales sites however as a general blogging experience, it has not taken off. Gone are days of pages full of rich content, at least, written content. It seems that visitors to blogs have moved beyond the information gathering stage and are now looking to be entertained at the same time. If your blog content does not entertain, the visitor will move on.
Inserting graphics and videos has never been easier particularly if you use WordPress and you have upgraded to the latest 2.5 version. You can easily insert a video or graphic into your blog content with a few simple clicks of the mouse.
Add to this the wealth of videos and images available through sites such as YouTube and there should be no reason why your site should remain bland. Your blog content is no longer about what you say – it is all about how you say it. Perhaps I should be throwing in a few videos of my own here.
