Are images important in a blog?

Question

User interface

Dear community, your opinion is required!
We have already shelled out a significant amount of money for hand-drawn pictures for our blog ergonotes.ru , but my partner believes that if we use standard pictures, such as savedelete.com , then this will not affect the user experience in any way.
What do you say? Any IMHO are welcome!
PS Just don't take it as PR, it's really important for us to know the opinion of the people. This is a matter of further investment!

Answer 1

I think you need not a question on the toaster, but a survey among your target audience.
For example, I don’t care, but someone cares, and for your investment it will be more important for you to get the opinion of the target audience.

Answer 2

Yes! Read About Gilvie. The picture draws attention, gives more interest ... In short, articles will be opened and read more. Cool doing in adme.
