I never used to bother with alt tags but then I read about how important they were and now I make sure I always take the time to write a description for them. It seems like a lot of people find my blog when they are looking for an image. Link parties are probably the thing that has made the most difference for me in gaining followers, especially in the early days. I've only recently joined a few blogger Facebook groups.

I've also heard using SEO friendly titles and words in a blog post is also helpful to drive traffic to ones's blog. It shows up in Google searched better.<br />I agree with you that my blog is outdated, but since I've been blogging 10 years I'm way past the idea of becoming rich and famous from blogging, and I'm content to keep it low key. Maybe someday when life slows down a little, and I have more time to work on it, I'll update to a new platform.
