I look forward to continue reading all your blogging advice! It is always needed! Can you talk about how important an image is to include in your post? In your opinion and experience, can an image/graphic make or break a blog post, especially if sharing across social media sites? And what makes a good image and what makes a bad one? Should you include an image in every post?
Thanks!
