As I comb through the thousands of photoblogs posted daily, I notice that many people fail to post information “About” themselves. Most photoblogs have an “About” link somewhere on the page, however, many photographers do not feel the need to provide any interesting background as to why they are into photography, what motivates them, what type of medium they prefer, the story behind the artist, etc.

Part of my daily process in posting photoblogs is to first, find interesting photoblogs. While good photographs are aplenty, my goal with ILovePhotoblogs.com is to showcase great photoblogs, not just great photos. Going forward, I will have a strong leaning towards photoblogs which have some background information about the artist, as well as interesting design, and great photography. If you are in business, you understand that part of the task is to make people want to buy from you. People buy the salesperson first, then the product. The same is true for photoblogs. Viewers are drawn into and often return to photoblogs they can make some sort of connection with.

For great photoblogs my advice is simple, try to give us a little bit more than just a pretty picture!
