6 - End of the Year Countdown
Ooh I'm so excited! I'm putting together a quilt design for A Needle Pulling Thread magazine, working on Mandy's Magical Tree, and testing out some hand embroidery stitches. Fun! I love learning new things. The EQ5 book are SUPER easy to figure out by the way. I'm enjoying putting ideas together and swapping out colors with the click of a button.
I'm really NOT computer savvy, so the books are very helpful. Speaking of which, I have a confession. I'm doing the blog countdown like this because blogger isn't allowing me to add more pictures!! I've maxed it out. What do I do!? Some blog photos I've clicked on at other sites link to flickr. I cannot figure that out. Any bloggers out there hit the wall and rectified this situation? In the mean time, enjoy this post...
HI Monika, Re. the photo situation: I don't know how to do the Flickr thing, but it is useful to cut down the file size of the photo before you upload it. So,for instance, instead of uploading a photo that is 2.1MB, reduce it's size to 100KB. it doesn't really change the appearance of the photo on the computer screen, but you would be able to upload a lot more photos. I can't seem to find the info about how much space I have left to post. However, I imagine that they probably provide you extra space for a fee. Michelle
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle. Yeah - my photos are all set VERY big - like 4MB+, for when I'm out there photographing prairie. Resizing after the fact is so much work. I think I'm going to be a more responsible camera operator and take the smallest photos possible when in my sewing room. I already reset it for brightness before I take the pics. Then when I go out, I'll reset the camera. Snapping away and then fixing things on the computer is the long way around - I need to change my ways! : )
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - picasa wants money. I'm not doing it. I've already paid for flickr.
crazy...
