Photos Make the Farm Blog Easy
Posted September 25th, 2008 by simon.huntley
Farm blogging is not necessarily difficult and time-consuming. Try regularly posting a photo and frame with a few words of background -- a vibrant photo with an engaging description will go a long way in creating a connection with your customers.
It shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes to post a blog entry like this. Perfect for those summer weeks when the last thing you want to do is write a long blog post.
Eugene from Catskill Merino, a sheep farm and Small Farm Central subscriber in Goshen, New York, does this consistently and effectively. See here or here.
Of course, every good rule is flexible and it is a good idea to break this rule if you do not have anything to say with a photo. If words do the job and you can't find a good photo, break the "one photo, one blog" rule!
(Whew, I made it to the end of the post without using some hackneyed "picture is a worth a thousand words" reference.)

Hi, I'm Simon Huntley, the lead developer here at

Simon,
Desperately need to do something about photo management. Need to be able to create albums in Gallery so pictures can be grouped - its becomming a mess. The slide shows would be better if they were created in the gallery as opposed to putting them as a separate line item someplace else. It's not nearly as effective. People love looking at my Gallery but I put a lot of photos there so it would be better to have full control over groups at that point.
Thanks.
Sharon
