Images or No Images / myLot

I've had a couple of thoughts for posts to share here today, but have bypassed all of them because I don't have a suitable image to share with them. I know I can use sites like morguefile and pixabay, but sometimes I just get tired of going on a hunt for good images. Everything I've read about blogging has said that images are super important, because readers have short attention spans and cant focus on large blocks of text without pretty pictures to break it up. Is the same true here on Mylot? Are you more likely to click on a post if it has an image attached or not?

Images catch my attention before I even read the topic - so yes Images are very important

yes, it takes me quite a while browsing through pixabay to find a picture i like no, the picture is just one factor for me. there's also the title, the first few lines of the post, and the person writing it.

If you use a picture here it won't break up the text, so that's irrelevant. I do like a picture on a post, but it's never the reason that I will open a post.
