I'm learning - but it doesn't happen overnight. I do enjoy writing - and for the most part, my posts are the "story" of what went down on the shoot. It's helped me a lot to help other newbee's create their text - makes me look at my own a little closer.

I would say - unless your model's name is your keyword but you might hit me with your dumb-ass stick.
Actually - this is a great point. I spent all morning with an affiliate explaining the role titles, key-words, tags, and categories play in things such as keyword density etc... I still have a lot to hear here but so far my traffic results are to the positive.

Get wider themes!
I like images at least 500 wide, wider on my personal blogs - but I try to never go over 450 on my hosted blogs or blogs intended to be used as feeds. It sure would be nice to have an option on the incoming - or outgoing feed to resize images over xxx pixels wide

What about WP 2.5's (and higher) ability to float the image? On most of my blogs, the template overrides this anyway so I usually don't use this feature.

????? - Are you saying that the first +/- three lines of a WP feed become the "post information" And where would I load "item / description"?

Give me more - show me examples. And ways to prevent it..... please

I had this discussion with an affiliate this morning. I know there is no hard and fast rule - but the way I explained it to him was;
If the post/blog has all the information the surfer requires to be ready to buy a membership, link to the join page.
If the post/blog is about a specific model, link to a gallery (or BYOT tour) featuring that model.
If the post/blog is about the "site" in general, link to the tour.
And IMO, don't be afraid to mix it up.
