Quite probably. There's plenty of blogs extolling the virtues of engagement though...Still, the newbies are probably too busy not reading anything in preference for images of boulders, bus stops, gates and mushrooms, or uploading more blog banners. Can never have enough of them! 🤪
My cynicism comes through fairly strongly does it not? 🤔😉

It's not subtle! Haha! For the record, I have no banners at all! Not even a signature! When I was new I read a couple of posts about getting started, but I was so overwhelmed that most of it went right over my head. And I have posted the occasional boulder (or other simple thing) when I have had a boring few days and can't come up with a good post. My feeling was that it's better to post something rather than go silent for several days and have people forget about me. Maybe I'm wrong?

Don't get me wrong, I love a good boulder as much as the next person...The highlight of my year is seeing a boulder you know. (Not really).
Seriously, I get it...Sort of. But it's not really a very good way to interest others in a user's work is it?
Oh look, here's a blurry photo of a bus stop pole - Maybe it's just me...Don't find much interest in a steel pole.
I think there's a million other things to say that might inspire a little interest.
Still, what do I know, I'm a small fish anyway...And I don't have even one blog banner. Just a lowly little signature.

No, not the most productive way to get people interested. And even with the blogs that focus on photography, which I really enjoy, I prefer the ones that tell a story. Something that gives me a sense of who the blogger is.

Me too. It makes for a better experience.
