How to write:
1. Firstly we would like you to read a few such posts on VNA to have a better understanding of the format to be followed. See this: http://vanitynoapologies.com/top-20-best-bridal-nail-art-designs-gallery-brides-to-be/
2. Start with an introduction on the topic and then move to the list. Similarly add a conclusion. Please make sure the count is atleast 2000 words.
3. Add all the list images along with the main image. Make sure all the images are named exactly like the post title. For ex: top-20-tattoos-for-legs(1)
4. Add image sources at the end of the post like this post here: http://vanitynoapologies.com/top-10-kareena-kapoor-eye-makeup-looks-ideas-tutorials/
Here is the image editing process:
1. Crop: Use any relevant photo as the main image or you can make a collage of
all the images as your main photo. Crop it to 698*548.
2. Crop the other list images lesser than 500px
3. Compress: Now go to compressjpg.com and upload all the pics there.
4. Click on the thumbnail on each image and reduce the size to around 10-20kb for each list image. If it can go further down without much change
in quality then bring it further down. The main image can be kept around 50kb.
5. Download all as a zip and extract.
6. Rename all of them after this step. If the title is top 10 red lipsticks in India then
rename as top-10-red-lipsticks-in-india-list-reviews-price(1), top-10-red-lipsticks-in-india-list-reviews-price(2)..and so on.
Softwares we recommend: You are free to use any software as long as the result is the same. But for those who ask:
Difference between cropping and compressing:
2. Now when you compress them at compressjpg.com, you deal with the image size i.e kbs. Cropping out images decrease their sizes but not as much you would like it to. While compressing, you bring down the size to around 50kb for main image and around 10-20kb for list images.
All these steps are very important for page load speed. You can use any software you are comfortable with, the final result should look polished and web optimized in terms of both size and pixels.
