Blogging is an important part of online marketing and growing your business online. In fact, blogging is considered one of the key players. Listed below are some of the blogging tools you should know about.

WordPress
When it comes to blogging tools one of the most used and most useful is WordPress. It offers you a variety of features and services that can help you promote your blog.

Instagram
You can use Instagram pictures to draw visitors to your blog posts. Many find that Instagram and Flickr are a good combination. Pictures do certainly help draw people to content but it can be difficult to make one’s picture stand out. When you use Instagram, you can quickly take a good picture and then upload it to Flickr, which integrates with Facebook and other social media sites making it easy to grab and use that photo.

Flickr
Photographs help attract readers to your blog post. It’s great if you can incorporate the pictures right into your posts but that’s not always possible because you might not have an appropriate image. Flickr is a photo sharing site, so you’ll have no problem finding the photo your blog needs and it’s yours for using.

Diigo
If you are looking for a neat way to track interesting articles so that you can later blog about them, you should have a look at Diigo. Diigo is a cool tool that lets you highlight and store appealing content you come across online that you can easily retrieve later. You can even add notes to your content.

Content Idea Generator
