An Interview With Zach Prez

optimizing imbages for the we

This week my special guest is Zach Prez from PhotographySpark.com If you’re thinking about getting your images online Zach goes over a few things you’ll want to think about including:

  • is Facebook enough for creating a web presence?
  • free blog options like Blogger.com vs. self hosted like WordPress.org
  • having a good naming convention for images for search-ability and SEO (search engine optimization)
  • optimal file sizing so images online load quickly
  • creating a brand and labeling your images with it
  • adding text with your images to encourage fans and friends to interact and comment on it

Even if you have absolutely zero aspirations to become a professional, or have a website there’s some good tips in there for you. For an extra bonus video on “How to size your images for the web” scroll down to the end of the article.
