About Photoblogs
As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words. Most people hate to write, but love taking and sharing pictures. It's no wonder photoblogs are so wildly popular. Let's face it: if you don't love and are not particularly good at writing, you are not likely to spend a good chunk of your day doing it; yet, that's exactly what it takes to maintain a blog or two… or three (but who's counting). There are a lot more people out there who are visually creative and love their cameras. For them, a photoblog is a godsend.
What exactly is a photoblog?
Quite simply, it is a blog where instead of written entries, you tell your stories through pictures. No writing, other than short captions and asides. Here's where you get to dazzle your public with creative flair and connect with myriads of other photo enthusiasts. First thing's first, of course. You need to set up your photoblog.
