1) Keywords are still important - include them in page titles and content.
2) Internal and external links also factor into rankings.
3) Consider user experience over robots - user feedback signals like clicks and +1s impact rankings.

Blogging is the most emerging work on the internet. A good blog has all the ability to reach at top in the cut throat competition. Content is the soul of the blog but there are other things too which are behind the success of the blog and the most important thing among all is the graphics. Here are some highlighted areas which can be improved by the use of graphics.
Using images in blogs can improve engagement and sharing on social media. Images support the written content by describing key points, introducing the message, and making the blog more memorable through an emotional connection. They also add color and vibrancy to blogs. For search engine optimization, images are important. Images can inject humor into blog posts and convey professionalism by selecting the right image. Thumbnail images create a good first impression without blocking content.
The document provides information on different types of digital graphics file formats including raster graphics, vector graphics, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, AI, 3DS, and their uses and advantages/disadvantages.
Raster graphics use pixels to form images and are resolution dependent, making them better for computer displays. Vector graphics use mathematical formulas to describe shapes and can be scaled without quality loss, making them better for printing.
JPEG is best for photographs due to its compatibility and small file sizes but results in some quality loss from compression. TIFF allows lossless compression and is a standard printing format. PSD preserves layers and transparency for graphic design work in Photoshop. AI creates high quality vector graphics in Illustrator. 3

Buffer has added new connectivity to Pinterest that allows users to schedule and post pins directly from Buffer. To use it, users connect their Pinterest account the same way they would other social networks. They can then drag images and add text to create pins, select boards, and schedule posts. Buffer's browser extension also allows pinning directly from websites. The update provides analytics on pins, including repins, likes, and comments. However, some felt Tailwind may provide more in-depth analytics and suggested posting times. The conclusion discusses using Buffer for scheduling and some analytics while keeping Tailwind for more detailed analysis.

Agree:
- The simplicity of the line drawing style works well and allows the colours to stand out. I'm pleased others felt this balanced the design effectively.
- Including Egyptian/mystical symbols like the Hand of Fatima and cats fits the theme and current trends. I aimed to incorporate on-trend elements.
Disagree:

- It was noted the content choice of Egyptian cats and Hand of Fatima imagery fits the trendy mystical style.

Here are 3 potential improvements if the image was repeated:
1. Enlarge the text on the shirt to make it easier to read from a distance. The small text is a nice detail but could be scaled up slightly.
2. Add more filling elements inside the circular badge space to take up more of the shirt front. This would make it feel more balanced and complete.
3. Experiment with different color combinations for the badge design. The blue and white works well but other colorways could also pop and appeal to different audiences. Testing alternative colors could help increase sales reach.
Based on the information provided, it seems your T-shirt design employed a retro/vintage style inspired by the 1960s era. Some key aspects of this style include:
- Simple color palette using shades of blue and white for a refined, "upper-class" look rather than many contrasting colors.
- Vintage-inspired fonts like a handwritten style for the business name and serif font for slogans/address to mimic logos of that era.
- Use of decorative elements like a gem and crown vector graphics to lend an air of wealth and sophistication.
- Distressed/weathered texture effect to give the logo an aged, authentic retro feel as if it was a real vintage badge

Have You Optimized Your Blog for Pinterest Shares?
2. Optimizing blog posts for Pinterest
makes it easier for people to share
your posts by pinning them to relevant
boards. It is very easy to make blog
posts more pinnable by implementing
a few simple steps when publishing
them.
3. Every blog post should include a portrait image with a 2:3 aspect ratio, as this
is the perfect style of image for Pinning. Square images can also work, but the
portrait layout is by far the preferred option. You will also want to make sure
that the image is visually striking, making it more attractive to pinners.
4. Creating an appealing image with
a text overlay can help to give
context to pins. It is more likely
that someone will pin this type of
image rather than a generic stock
image! As noted previously,
portrait is best for Pinterest, but
landscape works well on
Facebook and Twitter. Why not
think about including both
versions to really up your social
media game?
5. Short infographics offer both visual appeal and a Pinterest-ready image in
one! Traditionally, infographics are fairly long, but if you focus on just one or
two take outs from your blog, you can create a Pinterest friendly short
version! You don't need to be an expert to design your own infographics,
there are many great online tools that will help you.
6. To summarize, the three most
important ways to optimize your
blog posts for Pinterest include:
Adding pinnable images to all
previously published blog
posts, Inserting title images to
give context, and using
infographics.
