No image is fine
Image used to matter a lot to me.
What image to use as my blog header. What image to use on top of my post. What image to use within my post.
I used to love blog templates that display posts as images and title only. It's pretty.
But soon I worry more about what image to use, instead of the writing. If I don't find a good image, I don't post. Soon, I stopped posting. The blog became another junk site.
My idol writer recently post on his Instagram about substance over style. He's a guest speaker for an insurance company gathering. His presentation slides are simple. Only words are displayed. But the words has substance. The words get his message across. His speech get a standing applause. No image necessary.
Now I use image only if it's necessary. Avoid stock images. Learn to write better instead.
No image is fine.
