Put a photo on it.

In your discussion, which does you prefer, putting a photo on it or just a simple plain title? I do it sometimes by putting a photo on it and sometimes I just like it plain. But before I used to put a photo in all of my discussion thinking it might help attract myLot readers. And I noticed that some members here even if they don't put a photo in all of their discussion still some members dig it. And when I finally understand, it's not the photo or how you write your discussion is what it matters but on how you converse with people, how you deal with them, on how understanding are you with their feelings too and how you think before you respond is what all that matters here. Being kind enough and more interactive you are is I think the key to people to keep coming back to your discussion. P.S there is no room for boastful, plastic, jealous and hater here. It's pure friendship.

I do think that pictures still somewhat help. Of course you are very right, treating people nicely and fairly and striking up conversations does help quite a bit too.

I notice some members here, whether new or old is boastful and arrogant too. But I don't mind them, instead, I don't follow them and never engage with them anymore.

@JustBhem Yes there are some very arrogant people here. I try to ignore them as best I can.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Same here, it will do us no good so it is better to ignore them and move on.

Hi Bhem. As long as it is sincere and honest, I do not mind. I am after the quality of the conversation, and not just some petty talk just for the sake of earning. We do earn in every interaction but I want to earn that because I made wonderful conversations leading to great friendships.

I do not mind not putting images if it is not relevant to the discussion.

Me too. As I have said before, myLot has been my online diary so from time to time I post discussion based on my regular day. Others too I find interesting especially if we can learn about it.

@mlgen1037 That is why a lot of members here feels safe and comfortable. But there are some who will annoy you with their unkind words, but then it's okay. It's their opinion.

@JustBhem I so agree, Bhem. It is also our way of expressing ourselves, sharing our thoughts, saying our feelings and giving a background of our lives. It is indeed a journal or an online diary.

there is someone who keeps commenting that way, insisting on a picture. well, there's no rule here that says that. i feel like saying to him 'can you not read and understand the topic and give a relevant response even if there is no picture? can you not use your brain and heart? if all you're going to say is 'you should have posted a picture' but say nothing about the topic itself, then just skip the damned post.'

There are people like that? Really? I never encounter a member asking me to post a picture or demand to post a picture.

Picture is not the matter but the content is. I have not put any picture so far but will put if I get a relevant one. It does make the discussion more presentable.

I used to add photos but I realize the same thing. It's all about the content or how you interact with others.

It is an added attraction. But having a good post and a good attitude will also make others stop and read.

Yes, you also need to be kind not being rude or mean. Because sometimes it will make some members do not like your discussion anymore.

@JustBhem If something I want to post does not require a photo then I do not put one in. It depends if I feel one should have a photo or not.

when i see something nice to attach in my discussion, i snap a photo like the latest discussion that i posted. and yes, i read discussions even without pictures in it. it is the gist of the post that counts anyway. ps: why is there a post script here in your discussion?is somebody boastful?

I like to put a photo on every single post. Even though I will sometimes use the same photo more than once, I do think it helps to separate the posts out a bit.
