Welcome to my series of blog posts on the ABC's of Social Media, a tool that you can use to make you more "hip" in the world of Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn (just to name a few).  Today's letter is "E".  I could have went with Ecto, Edublog, or Embed, but I picked one that most bloggers out there do not think about.  How about giving your users some relaxation once in a while.  How about giving them some Eye Rest.

"E" is for Eye Rest

Eye Rest

Pronounced: Ahy Rest

In the blogging world, "Eye Rest" refers to using "gifts" in your posting to give your readers, well, a rest. These "gifts" include images, bold text, bullet points, lists, and hyperlinks. This may go against writing like your teacher taught you - but does your teacher read your blog?

Nothing says "blah blah blah" like a plain text blog.  Spice it up a bit and give your readers the gift that they want but can't ask you for directly: some well deserved Eye Rest..

Happy Blogging!
