No images, no visits, sorry - as a hybrid model art educator, my time is far too precious to have to scroll through text instead of images.

I already in subbed. I need the pictures first before I will click.

Thank you to everyone who has left a comment and sent us an email. We truly appreciate it. We are going to experiment with some ideas suggested by all the wonderful folks in the coming weeks. Ple...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128122

I've been a subscriber for years and years. I find it annoying that there are not images in the newsletters. I ready every newsletter and it's the photos that draw me to whether I click on the li...

I'm afraid you might have seen more traffic on your website during your experiment as people wanted to check if there was something wrong with their email or if there were no images on the websit...

It is very difficult to know if I am interested in a project if there is no picture. There are some types of crafts I do not do. I find that I do not know what the projects are in the e-mails wit...

I also am not a fan of the "no pictures" concept. I would call myself a general crafter. I don't crochet or knit. I don't scrapbook. I liked the pictures because I could look past those ideas and...

Like many others I thought something was amiss having had a problem last year through an update. Thank you for clarifying. I miss the images but understand the logic behind your actions but would...

Hi, you asked for suggestions on how to make the click throughs more user friendly. I would suggest you remove the pop-up that asks me every time I back up from the actual page back to the main l...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128116

The images helped me decide whether or not to click. What bothered me was clicking on an image only to find that it was an Etsy ad. I wish THAT was in the description. If I wanted to look at thin...

I like with images becauae I have some difficult with English-language and the images help to understand what it's about.

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128114

Are you in this just to make money or are you providing a service to crafters? Sounds to me like all you care about is what you can make from people clicking through. Well you just lost a reader!...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128113

I am one of the people who wrote to you concerning no images because I truly do miss them. I have followed you for many years and have gotten some very good ideas from the newsletter. I always cl...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128112

I truly like the images in the email. I miss them. It showed what I was clicking on. It’s not fun anymore. I hate going through clicking here and there to view what I could easily have seen in ...

I also much prefer the pictures of craft projects. It's the inspiration to try something new. Find a way PLEASE

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128110

I too do not like the site w/o pictures. I click on the items that interest me. I am a card maker. I thank you for your honesty and information about the changes. I do however read the directions...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128109

Thanks for letting us know. I too thought something was wrong with the site, but I still clicked on the link if it was something I was interested to read. I have always loved CraftGossip, and I w...

Thank you for explaining the lack of images. I have followed your site for quite some time and find it very helpful. I do not mind a few more clicks to find what I am looking for. Keep up the goo...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128107

Your site is among my top ten favorites. Your editors cover a wide range of sites to bring us useful or just plain interesting info. So if "no images" is what it takes to keep the site going, the...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128106

You know the saying, "A picture's worth a thousand words." Technology is focused on what we see (think about the ad placement on any blog page)...I have loved this craft website because of the pi...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128105

Sorry that you have decided to do this. I will no longer want to receive your emails

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128104

I guess I got into the group with no photos. The reason for not including photos sounds counterintuitive, but on thinking about it, there is a logic to it. I have been subscribed to your posts fo...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128103

I much prefer images. I haven't found that I click more w/ or w/out images. I'll click if the project interests me.

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128102

Thank you for the explanation! I thought something was wrong with my e-mail! I agree with Dana! I miss the images but, when the discription is something that is of interest I click to take a look...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128101

I understand why you're not including images and I support it even though I do miss the images. I've been a long time subscriber and love your emails. I always click on the ones I'm interested in...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128100

I am one of the folks that wrote to ask if something was wrong on your end or mine. :0) I DO read the editorial comments and I DO click through to the page, IF it's an item that interests me. not...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128099

I’m not a fan of NO Images. Your reasoning makes sense but I am considering discontinuing. It takes me too long to click thru and after all, you aren’t the only site that I subscribe too. I w...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128098

Don't like with no images, might discontinue, makes it easier to scroll with images

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128097

AMEN SISTER!! I absolutely HATE this concept! This is the very FIRST craft related site I joined and have gotten MANY great projects from, but if this "No Picture" crap continues, I'm LEAVING!

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128096

SOME of your "loyal readers" only have access via their phones. My newest phone - for undetermined reasons - flips me OUT of whatever email I am looking at when we one's come in. This adds MASSIV...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128095

I truly miss the pictures. They motivate me to try new things.

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128094

Not a fan of the NO IMAGES at all. IMAGES are what get me to a site. I feel it is a WASTE OF MY TIME to follow those links only to end up with something I would never have clicked on in the first...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128093

I forgot to mention, that often it was difficult to find the directions after one clicks on the link for directions...is there a way, if you are going to have no images, to have the next click ta...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128092

I miss your images as well as that did allow me to quickly scan to see if there was anything of interest. so it does frustrate me to only see words...if you are changing to this method please con...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128091

Agree. Letting us know while it transitioned would have been helpful. I too thought something was wrong on my receiving end of things. Unfortunately, I too find the lack of images way less entici...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128090

Thank you for explaining with information you have provided

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128089

So after a few weeks of no images, I finally read the first line that explains why the images are gone because with no images, I became uninterested with the content but now I see why the images ...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128088

Thanks for the explanation, but I usually would only click on an image if it interested me. Now, without the images, I just usually just read the text and to the the next email. I am probably mis...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128087

I understand what you are doing but without the images, I have less interest and it takes too much longer to view. I will probably unsubscribe.

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128086

I agree with Mary who posted that going in an out to view an image is aggravating. Frankly, without the visual stimulation to peak my curiosity, I wont have time or desire to visit the site anymo...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128085

Thanks for explaining! I thought something was wrong with my laptop ;) I understand your reasons for eliminating images, but for me it will mean less click through. The main reason I don't now is...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128084

I have followed this website for a very long time. I love it. However, not finding the images available makes it more difficult for me to view the page. I have to keep going in and out of the pag...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128083

I really hate that you don't show images anymore. It save me a tremendous amount of time as I am not interested in some of the items whatsoever! And it make your presence so much more pretty with...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128082

I rarely leave comments on websites (unless I'm trying to win something) :) I must say your honesty on why you removed the images is refreshing to read. Very rarely do you come across a site that...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128081

Not reading the email through as I did before because of no images! Turn then back on, please!

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128080

I want the images ON!!!!

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128079

Not a fan of the No Images...not sure I will be keeping the newsletter. I understand why you did it but it takes more time for me to get through my emails and when I have to stop and check throug...

https://craftgossip.com/we-removed-images-from-our-newsletter-heres-why/#comment-128078

I do look at the images...to see if I would be interested in the content. But you have decided to FORCE me to go into every image??? Not customer friendly
