I think the most pictures I've ever used in a post was 5 lol. It was a long post.

Damn, 5?! Stop spamming with images already lol

5 images isn't really spamming if you spread it out. I typically go for 3, but have done as much as five in my prime

I think it's important to have a picture for every three paragraphs (not short) of text that you have. Rule of thumb.

but it was a really long tutorial and the pictures were needed for examples

I wouldn't image spam without a good reason.

It depends on a lot of things.
And of course nice images are making the blog cutier.

I try to use them often as I'm a visual person myself.

I include an image when it is relevant. I go a little picture heavy sometimes when it comes to my crafting, but if I can get a good photo of a coffee shop then I will include it.
So, I suppose this is my round-about way of saying include a photo if you can, but if it's not relevant then don't force it.
