Hi,

 

So I decided to start a youtube channel as well as a blog. I would really appreciate any critiques or feedback (especially on the blog). The goal is to make it a fun pass time for me.

Thank you all.

Great quality videos. I loved them a lot and subscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to you making more videos because they were very high quality.

Any reason the comments are disabled on the youtube videos? I was under the impression that viewer interaction was one of the best ways to grow a channel.

I especially like your Tapinoma sessile video, well done also love the music ;).

 

Growing both blog and YouTube Channel take time. Write good content and you will go up in google's and bing's page rank.

 

I know it sounds crazy and is a lot of work but add to each important picture an alternative text (alt attribute) so search engines know better what is on the picture, otherwise they have to guess by object detection (which I doubt works well for ant species) or by text around the image.

Thank you so much! I will make sure to do that (need to look up how to add the alternative text :D)

Hi everyone. I just posted a new item on my blog.

It's a small comical post. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Rasberry crazy ants have been an issue in the South of America. So has screen addiction, nationwide. I thought to combine both into a blog post.
