blog tips blogger problogger pinkWhen you are writing about the blog themes like wordpress, simpleblog, b2evolution and others. I is important you always include visual picture, how that theme looks like.

Theme designers make big mistakes when they publish themes by not including the thumbnail of the theme they created.

Visitors that are interested downloading themes and installing on their blogs, usually prefer to see how their blog will look like before they install it.

Same thing for blogs that you give a review, if this blog would be reviewed by another blogger, I would like to see picture of my blog as well. Some bloggers are just turned off by blogs with no ads or too many ads no matter who the author is or what content is about.

I had hard time finding website that will do snapshots (thumbnails) at least for free.

To make easy on you, if you wish to make snapshot of your blog or someone else’s simply go to: webshotspro submit the url of the blog/website and wait in line till your snapshot is done.

They offer four sizes 100×75 267×200 400×300 640×480 all pictures are in jpg format and pretty nice too.

Erik Wingren also reported that his company does the same www.snap.com
