Therefore, the use of well described H2 headers is a good idea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also, embedding YouTube video links is not a good idea. Why? Nobody wants to click that big red button. A better strategy instead is animated GIF images, autoplay. Or even a better idea, or if you use <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\">wordpress.org<\/a> and you have a <a href=\"http:\/\/videopress.com\">videopress.com<\/a> subscription, you can make your videos <strong>autoplay in mute<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freshness, frequency publishing and updated: The best blog, or blog posts are the ones which frequently get updated. The worst thing that a blog can do is that when you revisit it, it is not updated. <strong>The best blog is always being constantly updated, having new things published to it<\/strong>. For example, can you imagine going on Reddit, and not seeing any new things posted?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Images: we humans are visual creatures. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve discovered that randomly interspersing images is very good, even if the images themselves have nothing to do with the information around it. In other words, <strong>better to have a bad image or an unrelated image than no image<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are blogs so important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that a blog is at least 100,000 times more important than social media.

It is the best place to share pertinent information and knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, when I think about the success of myself, and how I became so influential, it was not from social media, not even from YouTube; it was from my blog, this blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been spending some time reading blog posts, from the chainlink blog, some thoughts: Why are blogs so important?
