Meanwhile, here are some simple rules to help your photo blogs be as interesting to read and view as possible:

1. Have a story to tell - think about it ahead of time and think how your photos will support the story line.

2. Keep Text Relevant - Have headlines and captions that support and fulfill the story.

3. Vary the size of your photos.

4. Have lots of blank space.

5. Use attractive and varied formatting techniques.

6. Less is more - don't include all your photos! Edit, edit and edit again.  Only include your very best and most compelling photos.  Your friends love you, but nobody likes looking at dozens of similar or boring photos.

7. Align your captions with your photos.  E.g., if your photo is centered, make sure your caption is centered.

8. Give it some room. Insert a single carriage return between your photo and your caption.   This opens up just a little space and make it easier to read the caption.

9. Can it be read? Make sure your caption is in an easily readable font size -  12 is terrific, 14 pt. can also be good, or, if you're using 10 pt. font consider bold facing it to make it more readable.

10. Use the Verdana font for your captions. Tests show it is the easiest to read.

11. Keep your captions short.   If you find yourself writing entire paragraphs, consider having a short caption, followed by a separate paragraph.

12. Good contrast.  Make sure your caption text color has a high contrast with the background color of your photo blog, so the text really stands out. 

13. Don't use large fonts for your caption text.    Save the big point sizes for headlines.

14. Headlines can break up a photo blog into compelling sub sections. Use larger font sizes and bold face for an occasional headline Consider using a different color for your headline text so it stands out. 

15. DON'T USE ALL CAPS.   It seems as if you are shouting, and tests show that all caps is much harder to read than mixed case text.
