You guys use WordPress.com in all sorts of creative ways, documenting the adventures you take…
…the people you meet…
…the characters you create…
…the meals you prepare…
…and the places you live.
And you share a ton of amazing photographs. So be sure to show them off! Here are three tips on using photos to make your site more visually appealing:
- Upload your very own custom header image to give your site a unique look and feel. Some themes even allow you to use featured images to display different header images on specific posts and pages. For a design that’s 100% unique to you, try out the Custom Design upgrade.
- Don’t make readers squint to view your photos. Generally speaking, bigger photos are better, as long as they’re properly aligned. Check out the Get Flashy tutorial on Learn.WordPress.com for tips on aligning and resizing your images.
- If the majority of your content is image-based, consider using a photography theme that will put your photos in center stage on your site. Visit the Theme Showcase to find one that’s perfect for you.

thanks ! am new to blogging … the post and some of the comments were great!
thank for tipps
I am new learning in wp, thanks for great tips, really nice picture
yes thanks
You sure did help .Thanks
Wonderful tips. very nice.. Thanks
The pictures are indeed awesome and gave me some inspiration on what would look neat in my own blog. First of all, a good cam should be bought or somehow “organized” before thinking about the second step – at least in my personal case 😉
Really fine pictures–love the woman posing. I find searching in my photographs or elsewhere to find just the right one to accent the theme of each post a great deal of fun. Since I really appreciate visual arts and photography, often just seeing things–people, scenes, events–triggers a great (or not…) idea for a post or other project! One example is when I spotted a tiny gnome character sitting within a tree hole..an entire story jumped right out at me. Stop on by when you get a chance.
Thank you for your tips
