So no one likes to read about your paranoid complaints, rants, or look at your weird pictures with weird poses you thought were funny?
Here's a guide to what you can do to make your posts and pictures more interesting.

•♥°------------------ ( TEXT&WORDS )----°♥•

• You may want to add colours, quirky fonts and other effects like animations to your text to engage the reader.
• When you're describing your day, make sure you provide ample info or people will start asking many questions that you might not have the time to answer to.
• Sayings, quotes or short stories are good reads.
•If your day wasn't very eventful, talk about your other days instead of making many short posts that just annoy the reader.

•♥°------------------ ( PHOTOS&GRAPHICS )----°♥•

• For photos, you may add funny captions or some decorations and other effects like Polaroid-ing your photos.
• Also, if and when possible, making collages is a good idea, because people don't like waiting for your many images to load.
• If your image is really large, you can either slice it (Google that if you don't understand), resize it or post a link to it.
• It's better if your graphic is clear and not blurry like a JPEG on very low quality.
• Grainy images (e.g. few-coloured GIFs) also affect other people's opinion on your designing, unless the grainy effect was on purpose.
• Never, EVER, EVEREVEREVER to the power of 100,00,00,00,00,00,00 copy someone else's work and ALWAYS credit and\or ask for permission (depending on the artist's policies) if you use anyone's resources\display their artwork and if they asked for credit.

•♥°------------------ ( CREATIVITY IS THE KEY )----°♥•

• Feel free to add some flash mini-games or drag-and-drop games on your blog.
• Music or videos will keep your reader entertained, although make sure you put a stop or pause button as no one's music taste is the same.
•You may also want to change your blog name according to your mood or something you're obsessed with. It's nice to change it maybe every week or month, and oyou can do it with a new theme.
• Other creative ideas are a contest or quiz section, riddles and a freebies or goodies section. You can make emoticons, icons, textures, graphics, or provide stock for your readers. You can even set up a request booth (although there's already a place for that in ASC :D) and take orders, provided you're free enough to.
• After all, the only limit is your imagination. And your bandwidth xD

^_^ Hope this helped. Happy blogging~!
