Blogger Tips...

Adding a Title...
Make sure EVERY post has a title. If you do not, you cannot share just one post with someone. You'll have to share your entire blog, and it might be very difficult for that person to find the one post you want to share.
Adding a Photo...
1. Take / Create your own photo and upload it.
2. If #1 is not possible, look for an image on Pixabay. This site is great, because you don't have to cite it.
3. If #1 or #2 is not possible, go to Photosforclass.com, choose a photo, and give proper attribution to the owner.
4. Go back to #1 and create your own photo if you still can't find the perfect fit.
     Thank you to Richard M. Byrne for these tips on his blog post.
