Hello,
I apologize for the delay. I have been very busy lately.
Five things that could be improved in your blog:
1) Layout. It is good that you have a simple design; it lets people focus more on the content of your blog- the pictures. However, it doesn't really tell a visitor anything about you or your site. Adding a tagline under your title, a background image, or something different from the traditional blogspot layout will set your site apart from others.
2) No email subscription. I don't know about you, but it would be really nice to have beautiful pictures delivered to my inbox every day. :) I recommend Feedburner for the simple set-up and stat tracking.
3) Your photos have little to no ALT text. Search Engines don't index pictures unless they have specific labels and details with them. The more specific you are with your phrasing, the more likely you will draw in search hits.
4) Your photos don't have any other text with them. What is the story behind these photos? How did you come across your subjects? Was it a challenge? What kind of techniques did you use? Adding some backstory will keep visitors on your site longer and will also work better with Search Engines.
5) You don't reveal anything about yourself. Who are you? Where are you from? What do you do for a living? People like to know that there is a person behind the website, and not some nameless entity. It makes it more personal and gives them more to invest in. :)
I hope that helps!
Beautiful photos as usual! :) I love snowdrops but have never managed to grow them successfully in my gardens.
Love the pictures, in-particular that close-up of that lovely flower..!!!
Ah... even my snowdrops aren't up yet.
I used to love the double snowdrop, but I've come back to thinking that the simple lines of the single variety cannot be bettered. Beautiful pictures!
