So If you have posted an article with a relevant image, it is sure that some people who are viewing play.blogger.com will see it and will visit your blog. Thus you will get more readers to your blog just being on blogspot platform.
But, you have to remember that they will show images only after applying family filters.

Blogcatalog is down for maintenance to rejuvenate it's capacity

BlogCatalog is one of the premiere free blog directory, Blog Catalog, available on the internet. Bloggers can submit, search, rate and review lakhs of blogs in different categories.
They have provided specific but wide range of categories so that none of the blogs won't miss
their niche of topics.


But in order to accommodate the greater traffic and to improve the response time, they have decided to take downtime for a while. So we can expect much mightier and high responsive BlogCatalog in a short while.

But if you have some queries you can directly contact : webmaster@blogcatalog.com
