A “Zoo”-tiful Day! Part 1…

A Zoo

Author: Unknown

The polar bears so white and strong…
The spot neck giraffe with a stance so long…
Monkey that swing by their tails in trees…
The big grey elephant with the wrinkled knees…
Let’s take pictures of one or two,
Oh, please, let’s go to the Zoo.

Tip of the Day

Before uploading photos to your media library…ALWAYS rename them! Don’t leave them as IMG_ 2004, the name that your camera labels them.
Think…who, what, where or how when assigning them a name.
You will receive a better Search Engine Optimization if the photos have a very specific title.
SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience.
What would people type in Google for instance…to find YOUR style of images or articles?

Did you enjoy your trip to the zoo today? I sure hope you did…I had fun sharing my grandson’s first visit to the zoo! There will be more photos to come…I hope you will stay tuned.

If this is your first or second visit, please join us by email to receive your inspirational tips for bloggers and photographers delivered right to your inbox. Go to the top right hand side of the blog and fill in your email address…we will see you soon.

It is almost the weekend…YIPPEE!!

A trip to the zoo with littles is so fun! I love watching their excitement when the see great big animals.

Love your tip today. I certainly rename my images, but I really should work on renaming them with a better SEO name. Great point.

Wow – so many thoughts. . . . first, your little man is absolutely adorable (I know I keep saying that, but it’s true); the lioness needs a chin wax; great suggestions about photo titling before uploading for public viewing.
