One good way of attracting more traffic to your blog is to display interesting photos in your entries. Another way is to include charts in your posts. Creating charts, however, is a rather tedious process. Until now, that is.

Typically, you'll create a chart in MS Excel, for example. Then you might get some kind of screen capture software to take a photo of that chart, paste it into some graphics editor program, then upload it to your WordPress blog.

Tedious, isn't it?

Today, however, you can easily create a chart online with the help of Google charts.

Let's assume, for example, that you're writing a study about people who Send Money to the Philippines Online. And let's assume further that you need to show a bar graph that displays monthly remittances.

Now here's the sample Google chart:

Now if you view the source code of this page, you'll find a reference to a web site url that stores the image of the chart.

(NOTE: The box with shadow around the chart is an embellishment created using CSS. It's not built into Google Charts.)

It may take a while to get the hang of using the correct combination of letters and codes to produce the chart you want, yet you'll eventually discover that this beats the "usual" way of creating charts for your online posts.

What are you waiting for? Start charting today with the help of Google Charts, and attract even more readers to your blog.
