Easy peezy compared to the title of these articles and even easier than that compared to these opening sentences.

Cover image

Cover images aren’t bad at all. If I’m not using an original, I’m using one that’s legal from one of the copyright free sites: Google Pixabay, Unsplash, and DuckDuckGo Pexels—three.

I chose to use the one you just clicked on as an example because it’s large and has the invisible white background. Invisible backgrounds and loud color make good clickbait. Since this one’s about the cover image, it only made sense to go big and bright with the..

Cover image.

You can do that, too, color in a bunch of the teeth, when it’s copyright free. Color the teeth, draw a line right down the middle of it if you want, color half of the skull, put a frame around it—totally legal.

Just list

..the credits and you can color in the whole thing if you feel like it, put your name on it, put font anywhere on it, etc, just mention where you got it. It doesn’t have to be directly under the image like I did, either, it can be in the credits at the bottom, middle, location isn’t important—acknowledgement is.

It doesn’t have to say “cover image,” it can say anything, it can be a whole sentence and size doesn’t matter, either—acknowledgement does. Thank you @puravidaville!

Piece 0 cake compared to titles and opening sentences, especially opening sentences! I’ve spent so much time arranging, rearranging and erasing those things, just to start over again, I probably shouldn’t be admitting it, and those are nothing compared to the post button—post buttons are the worst! Cover images, not bad at all, they’re actually fun...

Etc.

Closing sentences aren’t bad at all.

Eheheh. Clickbait are the best but if you go with that, someone will likely flag you. 😊

Of course, you could use that "nsfw" tag but in that case, there's no need for a cover image. 😂

Really?! Is #clickbait grounds for flagging? Danget! How’s it goin @trincowski? I hope you had a good weekend. I didn’t know clickbait was taboo—whoops.

Always nice to hear from you @trincowski.

Depends on the content but if it's somewhat erotic and you don't mark it as "nsfw" I'm pretty sure you'll get a flag. 😂

nice work👏🏽

Well...FINALLY I get to upvote and comment on your post after two days of trying!?!?!?!

I've been so forlorn and on the verge of logging onto Facebook in an attempt to get my social media fix...

Here's hoping that you and Puravidaville are happy and well :>)

You’re too kind @angryman, thanks for checking this one out. I got the idea to write this ‘how I blog’ series out of the blue which is at 3 articles now and ended up really enjoying it. I got one more, the fourth and final, it’s finished, I’m not sure when I’ll release it—maybe Saturday. It’s my Post Button one.

We’re doing so well, @angryman, any better would be illegal. 👍🏿 Always a pleasure to hear from you, sir.

I'm glad to hear that you both are doing well in the UK... How long do you plan on staying there?

I'll be keeping an eye open for your final post in the series :>)

Ciao

:echo: you’re too kind sir.

We just landed in Liverpool about an hour ago. Our plan, which is a funny wOrd, is to hang out around here on the west coast for about 6 months and then regroup.

There’s no summer here, I never would’ve believed it without experiencing it myself. 6 months is plenty of time to learn a country as small as UK, don’t you think?

Who ever thought that naming a City 'Pool of Liver' would sound enticing??? Maybe they were trying to keep people from coming there like Iceland did?

Anyway I'm glad that you and 'the good lady' are well and happy regardless of the bloody muck you'll be wading through in that pool... :>0

Ah.. I see the misunderstanding now, @angryman. Liverpool as in nobody feels like dying anytime soon, a buncha livers ‘round here. Dyerpool, yeah no thanks, wouldn’t even wanna stop to take a piss in dyerpool—may never get out.

I just thought I'd leave a comment.

Man, I wasn’t even prepared for this! Quick, how’s my hair?? I got anything in my teeth?!

I think there's hair in your teeth.
