Comments on: How to Choose Great Photos for Blog Posts http://cathystucker.com/blog-photos Wisdom & Whimsy from the Idea Lady Mon, 07 May 2012 19:27:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Melanie Kissell http://cathystucker.com/blog-photos/comment-page-1#comment-566 Melanie Kissell Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:34:14 +0000 http://cathystucker.com/?p=504#comment-566 On Saturdays, after a hectic week of being at the workplace, I like to find something new and interesting (and relaxing) to read or learn about online. Today, it's YOU! I've been a perinatal educator for over a quarter of a century and I've discovered that about 90% of my students (mostly Lamaze couples) are "visual" learners. And I believe that's true of most people. Enjoyed and appreciated this post on choosing photos for blog posts. I think it's time to get busy and start including more photos on my blog. Thanks!

They make a difference, though. It took me a while to grasp that, but now I am a true believer. ;o) I have used a couple of the plugins with Irfanview, but mostly I use it to resize or reformat photos. It is so fast and easy--can't be beat! Yes, I sometimes spend waaayy too much time looking for images. They make a difference, though.

I often find that writing the content is easier than finding the right image! I second your recommendation of IrfanView. For heavy work I use Photoshop, but IrfanView is the app I turn to for the simple quick fix. When you download it, go for the plug-ins too, then spend a few minutes exploring the menus to find the adjustment tools and other goodies. You'll get as much out as you put in.
