Ideas for your website or blog

If you already haven't discovered Google's Picasa, it is worth trying.

Picasa is a free software download from Google that helps you:

  • Locate and organize all the photos on your computer.
  • Edit and add effects to your photos with a few simple clicks.
  • Share your photos with others through email, prints, and on the web: it's fast, easy and free.

I have used it in many ways.  I have uploaded pictures of listings and then embeded slideshow of photos in craigslist postings; if I have many photos I will embed link to more photos in body of description; I can access my photos from my phone if I need to; I uploaded photos of our local community and embedded slideshow on my website, www.battagliaproperties.net, which is nice. 

There is so much that you can do with this software.  I have not had any problems with it as of yet and highly recommend giving it a try.

I love Picasa for quick edits. Fill Light, Straighten, and Sharpen are my favorite tools. The only downside I've found is that I cannot crop to specific dimensions, except for a few preset photo sizes. Other than that, Picasa is a great tool for organizing and editing photos.

I had forgotten about this program.  Thanks for the reminder!  I'll have to try it for my editing to see how well it works.

I love google. They have some great stuff for websites. I built my site using google sites and I also use analytics and blogspot. Plus a zillion others every day.

Kari,

Thanks for the recommendation.  I am a big Jasc Paint shop fan but I will try it out.
