I can not take credit for this information which I learned from “Graphic Design Do’s and Don’ts for Your Real Estate Blog” session by Dina Gunderson at RETechSouth. Dina Gundersen of Creative Thunder Design provided some great tips and useful information to help you with your blog.

- Utilize photo / clipart sites

- Create headlines with thematic fonts
- Don’t be afraid to pick up things and scan them in to use as an image
