While it may be tempting to add a visitor counter,Choosing The Right Free Blogging Tools Articles a flashy

background, an exciting new font, and a cluster of

quirky animated gifs to your blog, this kind of plan can

easily backfire. The key to getting the most from free

blog tools is being selective.

It is a great idea to learn about all of the kinds of free

blogging tools that are available so that you can make

an informed decision about what to add to your blog,

but try to remember that just because you can have

something doesn't mean that you need it. Practice

restraint and only choose the options that you think will

really be useful. If you can find out how many visitors

are reading your blog by checking your traffic statistics,

a visitor counter is likely to add unnecessary clutter to

your page. If your blog is text-based, a flashy

background can be more of a distraction than an benefit.

accessories will help you realize your vision and

improve your site. Remember that even a blog tool that

doesn't cost you any cash may not be an asset in the

long run.
