Pinterest is a huge source of blog traffic for me. I’ve learned over time how important it is to have “pinnable” images for each and every post I publish. The better the image, the more people pin it. As I’ve improved the quality of my images, I have also started going back to older posts to spiff them up.

Happy College Football Kickoff Day! Who are you rooting for (or do you even care)? I was born and bred an Oklahoma Sooner. In fact, I’m pretty sure some of my first words were “Boomer Sooner”.
