Online Photo Editing Web Site Rocks


I recently was introduced to a really cool online photo editing web site that is really cool.  Check out http://www.picnik.com  I recommend this for people who want to post pictures on their blog but do not have the ability to re-size their image.

Picnik is photo editing awesomeness, online, in your browser. It’s the easiest way on the Web to fix underexposed photos, remove red-eye, or apply effects to your photos.  Or use it to re-size an image for your blog post.

What can I do with Picnik?
Pretty much everything! They’ve got amazing Edit tools that can fix just about anything that could possibly go wrong with a photograph. Lacking photo-editing prowess? A bunch of our editing tools are one-click fixes, including auto- fix, exposure, colors, and red-eye. And the others, like rotate, crop, re-size, and sharpening, can be controlled with easy-to-use sliders.

Move over to the Create tab and you’ll see our custom-made Effects (most of which have the ability to be painted into just the areas of your image where you want them), an awesome text tool with dozens of fonts, dozens of shapes, including seasonal shapes for holidays and events, and some super customizable frames. Not to mention the touch up tools and new Advanced Editing tools.

Here are some great ideas to drive traffic to your blogs.

  • Make sure to add plug ins that make your blog SEO friendly, the following are the one I use.
    • All-In-One-Seo-Pack
    • Google Site Map Generator
    • Auto Social Poster
  • Create some customs themes and add to the Word Press theme sites and make sure to have you link to your site in the theme and this will create a number of back links to your blog.
  • Submit your blog to blog directories - time consuming but it works.
  • Add your blog to www.Feedburner.com

I will add to this list as I have time.

A Cool Place For Wordpress Blog Ideas


If you have a web site and are trying to make money online you must set up your blog and post as much as possible.  I recomend using WordPress blogs.  So if you need ideas and tutorials this is a great place to get word press blog ideas.  There are WordPress themes and other WordPress ideas that you may want to check out at this web site.

Here is a cool web site to get ideas is http://welovewp.com/.

I just thought maybe you don’t even know what WordPress blog is?  Well…WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.  WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time.  More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.  To get started with WordPress, set it up on a web host (I use www.myhelpfulhost.com) then once that is set up it is almost a one click set up to have your blow up and running.
