How To Add Images To Your Blog Excerpts

I was recently asked how to add images to your blog so I thought maybe a post with the instructions for doing so might be in order. So, here goes?

First of all, you want to have your front page of your posts to show excerpts, rather than the full posts. The reason for doing that is people will come to your blog and if the subject at hand isn?t something they are interested in, they will probably leave. They?re not likely to scroll down through massive quantities of text to find something of interest. Also, seeing a page with a large amount of text on it is not very appealing, even if it is a subject that might be of interest to the reader.

So, I was instructed to do it differently, by just showing excerpts and by adding images to the page. Images are considered ?eye candy? and people will interact more. I have two blogs that I do this on, and as far as I can tell, you do it differently depending on the theme you are using. At least the first part is done differently; that?s the part where you tell your theme that you want to show excerpts of your posts rather than full posts.
