I've always been a person who believed in finding ways to not over complicate things, but still deliver or perform with quality. When browsing through the templates offered, I had came across the 'picture' option. It was a quick decision that this would be the template for me. It has a very open layout, doesn't seem cluttered, and is easy to look at and navigate to whatever desired section the viewer would prefer.
Another thing I've always believed is that old saying "a picture is worth one thousand words". My gravitation towards social media has always been those with picture displays along with captions as it always helped set, or feel, the theme of the post. As I learn to customize and personalize this blog more, I'd like to really be able to make the reader 'feel' what I'm posting rather than just read or skim through it. I'm hopeful that through strategic and effective image placement in the layout, I can achieve that. Thanks very much for reading and I hope you enjoy the journey of Ridgeway Thoughts!

I agree with you about the pictures. I also tend to be pulled towards the images I see. If it is interesting I will be sure to click. The image can be just as important as what is written. It can be the thing that draws people to see what you have to say. Especially if you have an image that speaks to the viewer. They might be more apt to read and follow you.
ReplyDeleteNice choice and reasoning! You mentioned adding photographs to your posts. Are you planning on taking the photos yourself?
ReplyDeleteI agree, your template is very clean and uncluttered. I like the abstract quality of the photo. It sets a very meditative tone to the blog.
ReplyDeleteNice job on this. The picture brings back memories of time that I've spent in areas like Montana and Upstate New York. Looking forward to reading more.
ReplyDeleteI like your blog Dave. The photo with the terrain and clouds is very tranquil. I agree with your concept of keeping it simple and uncluttered.
