I’ve had lots of pics up on the web for years, but few of them seem to be indexed by the search engines. In checking my web site stats year after year, it always strikes me how many hits the pics get compared to the articles. But then i think back over my own web browsing experience, and realize that pics, especially moving pics, are easier to digest - kind of like candy as compared to the main meal of an article. So to get more visibility for the pics, and hopefully lead to more hits on the articles, i’ve decided to make a blog wholly devoted to promoting the pics.
Let’s go!
