I understand what it means for blogs, but the shows I've watched on BBC or articles I've read on gravatars is very different and much more involved. Why not just called them pics.

For example, I just updated http://www.incomefitness.com the 7th time (redos number 8 to 15 will probably happen today) because my first attempt (or was it the 3rd attempt?) still had the most critical components (video and optin) below the fold. So then I tried moving them above the fold and lost other aspects. ARGH! Maddening...it is. One thing I did devise - because this page right now is a squeeze page, I made my header clickable with the words "Click HERE for instant access" and added an in-page anchor to the signup form. Speaking of site navigation, you know what is currently angsting me right now? I personally do NOT like video. 'Matter of fact, I prefer denuding my mooses of their burrs rather than watching videos. Hate hate hate HATE videos! But I have to include videos nowadays as that's where marketing is moving. Okay, fine, no problem, I ascend my vertical learning curve and make one. Wheee! Then I realize...what about the folks like me who DON'T listen to video....I need to include copy for them too! ARGH! How do I factor THAT into my site navigation? ARGH ARGH ARGH (bonks head against wall) Feel my pain. Please. :) Back to my coffee, Barbara .-= Barbara Ling, Virtual Coach´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.virtual-coach.com/offers-insights-on/how-to-make-a-squeeze-page/">6 Brilliant Squeeze Page Resources You’ll Want To Explore Part 1</a> =-.

Harry, does it make sense to purchase a blog domain at the outset or wait till your blog has 1,000 readers? What should a blogger focus on first? content? or design? Thanks Thanks for the article.
