Great recommendations. I've found your point #5 to be especially helpful. With the Analytics tool, I can see where the majority of my visitors are coming, and where I could afford to spend a little more time and effort. It is sometimes difficult to know what to post, or how your posts are received by readers. Of course everything looks great to you, you wouldn't write it if you didn't think it was, but it would be great to get in the mind of the reader for a few minutes.

Sherri, as bandwidth increases, I think it's pretty clear that the expectations regarding video -- on all Web sites -- will increase. Within five years, I would expect that it will be hard to find a Web site that does not have a prominent video component.

Thanks Sherri for sharing!

I think multimedia should be embedded within the post. In other words, the multimedia is permanently attached to that particular blog.

That's the way we have structured our blog. Our slide shows begin and end at our post. I have found it very effective to deliver our message for people who stumble on it.

But in terms of a final product?

I sell very few DVD slide shows. But I do sell a lot of books so in a way the online slide show is a great sales tool.

Thanks again for your comment!

This is great information. I am currently practicing most of these tips. I'm not too sure if I want to try incorporating multimedia, however. While slideshows and videos are fun at first, they just might be "here today and gone tomorrow." I could be wrong.
