How long does it take to write a blog post on fashion or my clothes? Post 506

Watch. Photo by Angela Lansbury.

 I spent  about an hour and forty five minutes to get the first draft loaded up on blogger. 

Add another fifteen minutes if you count adding photos.

PHOTO PLANNING AND TAKING

1 Taking a full length photo, setting up the camera firmly on a tripod or desktop, or summoning somebody else as photographer. 

Change shoes. Colour co-ordinate. Suitable for the theme, casual or classy.

Find a colour-co-ordinated prop, ideally one which is relevant to the theme or background. 

Select background, Remove home clutter or public litter from the background.

Adjust the lighting, flash if necessary, or turn it off. 

Focus on the foreground person, not the background, nor the gap between two people or objects. 


TEXT WRITING, RESEARCHING & CHECKING

What takes so much time?

1 Correcting the spelling.

2 Adding labels

3 Reading the published version on blogspot - which shows you if the picture is too big and bleeds over the columns alongside (that is a design fault in my opinion); you also see if the gaps between paragraphs are too large. Or there are not enough photos compared to the text. Ideally a picture after every long paragraph, my son who works in SEO reminded me.

4 Making the website addresses live links which people can click on.

5 Starting another blog post. Two in one day? 

I could save it as a draft, if I remember how to save as a draft and don't automatically click on update and publish. 

On blogger.com (where you create the blog, as opposed to blogspot .com where the public read it) you save under preview. If you forget and publish, you can retrieve it by copying and saving to preview, then deleting the published version.
