Sprucing Up Your Photos

Here's a quick Blogger Tech Tip.

Is it just me or have I missed an easier way through Blogger to spruce up photos. Take this picture for example.  If you click on the image, you will get an option that says Edit Image.

Click there.  Then, it will take you to a  screen like this.

Click on the Create tab.  Then, your options become endless.   

You can add text, borders, speech bubbles, etc to your photos.

Like my postage stamp?

Or how about the polaroid?  Love it!

Many of these features are free although there are some premium features.  Does anyone use this on a regular basis?  If so, share if you like it.  It looks pretty easy and fun.  

UPDATE: Picnik is no longer in service.  Many of these features can now be found on PicMonkey.

Happy Blogging!

Tutorial - Adding A Page to Blogger

Ever felt like the Side Bars on your Blogger were too busy but did not know how to fix it?  Well, I've wanted to grab those cute Blog Buttons but I didn't know where to fit them on the Home Page of my blog.  So, I decided to add a page.  It's pretty easy.  Here's how.




First, go to Posting.  Click on New Page.






Once created under Design, click on Template Designer.  Here you'll customize your tabs. Under Advanced, scroll to Tabs Text.  Choose the font, font color, and size that you like.

To see if you like it, look at the red dotted area.  That is what you are customizing.  If you do, click Apply To Blog.

Then, go back to Blogger.   Click Save.
Now, you can Edit Pages under Posting.



Easy enough, right?  Click here to see what my new page looks like.

Happy Teaching and Learning!
