    Squarespace SEO: Optimizing Images

    Are you frustrated with uploading large images to your website (but didn’t know there was another way)?
    ‘I’m pulling out my hair over here!’ 🤬

    Don’t know what to name your image files?
    ‘Is IMG_0321-edit1.jpg is wrong?’ 😨

    Think it doesn’t matter what you name your files, or how large they are?
    ‘Yes, no one can see the file name anyway!’ 😏
    (You’re wrong about that, BTdubbs.)

    Optimizing images for Squarespace SEO purposes (and the web in general) isn’t actually hard or time consuming, so this’ll be quick, with lots of screenshots!

    35 of my favorite books for entrepreneurs

    I love to read, and because I don't have much time for my favorite hobby, I also love to listen to audiobooks. Gotta get my fix in somehow!

    I don't love listening to self-help/nonfiction though, or at least I used to find the idea abhorrent. The idea of listening to someone talk on and on about how to "up your game," or become "more focused," ...blah, blah, blah... could have easily been a form of punishment for me.

    That is, until I read a couple of business books (of my own free will, I might add!) this past fall. (I got sucked in, okay?!) They opened my eyes to a whole new genre which I can actually tolerate, as it turns out, and some of which I really (REALLY) enjoyed reading/listening to.

    So, as with most things I get excited about, I dove in head first and created a list of books I want to read in this genre. And since I went to all that effort, I figured I should share the wealth of knowledge with you too!

      I’m the Founder, Owner, CEO, Designer & Educator at Launch the Damn Thing® and I love coffee, cursing & carefully laid plans. 😂 (Also reading, blaring loud music, and teaching, –but those didn’t fit into my nice alliteration!)
