Makeover

The Post that I have Updated…so far

As part of my decision to give this site a make-over, I’m going through all my posts and making improvements,

These include:

Modifying the Title

When I started blogging I used to use titles that were a play on words,or were “smart” – they often didn’t actually tell you what the post was about.

Well, I’m trying to fix that, while not making the title too boring.

Making use of superior images

Where possible I’ve added full images that relate to the subject. Often I have include text in the image to make them more meaningful if viewed by themselves.

Where I get my images from is StockUnlimited.com.

Improving the text

When necessary I have completely rewritten the post so that it is easier to read, This includes adding sub-headings, etc.

I’ve also been on the hunt for places where I can add more value by adding richer content such as PDF versions, infographics, etc.

Updated Posts

Below is a list of the updated posts (so far).

For some of the Original Post links, I have linked to a screenshot of the old post.  I don’t have a screenshot for them all, because, for some, the new post is not radically different from the old post.

You can compare the Reworked Post with how it originally looked.
