I don’t have a page for top posts either because the navigation bar is too small for me. This is the result of using a free theme.

I plan to get a blog redesign by next year though if everything is doing well.

I don’t really have a featured post spot on my homepage because my theme doesn’t allow for it but I do have a Top Posts page which highlights all my best posts…

Remember compilation post? Compile 100 over wallpapers and make it your featured post. For example, you can start compiling Chinese New Year wallpapers from now on.

They are not always picture posts. Anyway, I have to agree that Google Images helps.

I usually don’t need to feature any posts, since they are picture posts anywayz…. Google Images indirectly does that for me!

If it is at the bottom, people will have somewhere else (within your blog) to go to after they have reached the bottom. Since you are monetizing using Advertlets, I won’t recommend you to use the #name tags because a click on such links won’t generate an impression.

It’s the same. A blog post can be an article but an article won’t always be your blog post. Even blur? An article can be a newspaper article but a post always means a blog post.

“Did you use any methods to feature one or few of your best work in your blog?”
Of the 5 tips mentioned above, I think I am using the “Recent Posts” thingie as well as the Top View Posts thingie.

Though my Recent Posts section is way at the bottom instead of at the top, not sure how many people would scroll down to the bottom to check it out.

Perhaps adding in a “a href=#name” same page hyperlink would help?

Besides that, I shamelessly plug in linkies to my articles in forums that I participate in.

“Will you use it in the future to show off your work?”
I would give it a try if it is that effective?

“What do you think about other ways that blogs with featured post can do to improve the usage of a featured article?”
Eh, I am a bit blur here now.

What do you mean by featured post and featured article arh?
