Nice to know someone out there feels like I do. Now I'm wondering if (for myself) it's easier to research than actually "do" or decide what I need to "do". So it might all come down to laziness for me. Hmmmm ... something for me to ponder. Hi Don, will do! Nice to know someone out there feels like I do.

I saw your original comment on beginnerblogger.com I'm a newbie blogger so I can identify too. In fact the last several posts I've left at other people's blogs have been to ask them: HOW DO YOU KEEP UP WITH ALL THE THINGS TO DO??!?!? If you find out, please let me know at www.donpower.me! Thanks!! @donpower Hi Angela!

In my opinion, it provides a quick survey of what the post is about and lures the reader into perusing an article. In my blog posts I try to always use some sort of image because I like having an image thumbnail on my LinkWithin widget after my posts. I love the pictures from Flickr--you can get some really beautiful ones on there. I am very careful, however, to make sure I credit the original source by hyperlinking the photo to it, so if you click on the picture it takes you to the source.

I wouldn't use images with the watermark on them either. At my day job we use iStock, the images are not free, but they have a huge collection with some very professional photographer's work. I heard that Flickr has some great images in the Creative Commons area, but I haven't tried looking there yet. Thanks for the link, maybe I'll start using Stock Exchang. @Ileane Hi Angela,

You don't even want to get me started on Google and their underhanded techniques. I hope Bing gives them a run for their money. I'd love to see a viable competitor. Ha.

They treat their customers however they want just because they can and they know we can't make enough of an impact to matter. I never thought of this but, through only their popularity they almost have a manopoly on the search engine industry. That's where people cater their site to and that's where 90% of internet browsers go to search. I think they are and SHOULD be terrified of Bing though. Everything Bill Gates touches turns to gold. We'll see what happens. :-) Thanks for coming by and leaving your input! Hi Sheila, yeah that stinks that companies are like that.

And, I guess it's because they CAN - they are the biggest game in town. Yep, they sure do! And, I guess it’s because they CAN – they are the biggest game in town.
