Siver Bloggers || TRES HERRAMIENTAS QUE TODO BLOGGER DEBE CONOCER 💻🖱

Del otro lado se encuentran los lectores, esas personas que se toman minutos de su valioso tiempo para leer nuestro contenido, dejar su valoración y muchas veces un amable comentario.
Al momento de redactar un post debemos pensar en esos lectores y no me refiero a que debemos complacerlos o escribir lo que a un determinado grupo le guste (es nuestro blog personal, no un sitio de complacencia), me refiero al hecho que debemos considerar varios aspectos importantes para hacer más fluido y agradable el paseo del lector por nuestra publicación.

A blog is the space and the means by which we can express ourselves, share ideas and show a bit of our life. However, the fact that it is our blog does not mean that it is only for us. On the other side are the readers, those people who take minutes of their valuable time to read our content, leave their assessment and often a kind comment.

When writing a post we must think about those readers and I do not mean that we must please them or write what a certain group likes (it is our personal blog, not a site of complacency), I mean the fact that we must consider several important aspects to make the reader's walk through our publication more fluid and enjoyable.

When I started on this platform I had to go back to school; I had to adapt to Html and Markdown codes to be able to write my post. After a while I was observing the blogs of other users and I was struck by the variety of resources they used to give a better presentation to their publications.

At first I asked my two teenage sons to help me make the banners, but then I decided that if I was going to dedicate myself to this as a profession and not as a hobby, I had to learn how to do everything necessary for my blog to have my personal stamp.
I discovered that I love to make the whole graphic package of each post in a personalized way. I confess that it takes me hours to finish a post but most of the time I am very satisfied with the result.

In this post I want to share with you some digital tools that I frequently use to give my publications my personal touch and make them much more enjoyable for the reader.

This translator is a very important help for those of us who are not fluent in English. My level of English is intermediate to advanced as I am a qualified teacher of English as a second language. However, I use the translator to simplify and speed up the writing of the text.

Since Hive is a platform that is used in many countries, it is important to leave an English translation of our content so that the communication and reach of the message is much greater and is not only focused on Spanish-speaking readers or users.

I believe that language should not be a barrier between members of the hive, so it is important to use a good translator. Thanks to Hive and the fact of making bilingual publications I have been able to make friends with users from other continents.

In Canvas I made all the graphic package of the publication. I made the presentation banner or cover. The size I use to show the full image in the thumbnail is 800x500. Something I love to design are the text separators, for them I generally use a size of 800x60, sometimes they can be bigger.

For the farewell banner I use a size of 800x400. I usually change this banner every two months approximately.
In this application I also make the collages for the cooking and handicraft tutorials. There are many things that can be done with this tool and make our blog a nice place to visit.

Generally, I use my own photographs in my publications, however there are topics in which I must rely on images from the web, as in the case of this post. For those cases I use web pages that provide photo banks of free use, of course it is important to give the respective credit and place the link of the web page. Some of these websites are the following: Unsplash Pexel Pixabay Freeimages

So much for the magician revealing his secrets. These three tools are of great help in my life as a blogger. There are some others that I use less frequently, but these are the most used and most important for me. I hope to continue learning and sharing in this wonderful world of blogging. There is still a long way to go.
