As header for post?

Fra Altmuligkasse

I am sorry but I simply can´t figure out how people can make this their header on posts

Despite the fact I followed the online guide .....grrr... either I am a bit it-blind or the it/easy access evolution has stopped.

Todays entry in Learning by the net

Today I went blog-surfing which is me clicking next blog on the navigation bar. Sometimes I hit a lucky streak and "see" fantastic blogs which I try to share with you in google +. But today I wasn´t lucky at all.

The same 2/ two came up 4 or 5 times and they really weren´t blogs for me and one blog that really look interesting had been inactive since 2011. So ..

But then I stumple into:

http://niaangel.blogspot.dk/



It is a girl testing different cosmetics and posting pictures for us to see. That was nice. A real person wearing the makeup. But am I - the newbie blogger- to leave a note or comment to say: I have seen your blog?

I would actually like to leave bloggers a note just to let them know someone is watching their stuff. But sometimes I don´t know what to "say". As a blogger myself you sometimes wonder if people read your stuff at all. Or the only viewers are thoose internet pirates and their spam pages? If any of you have an idea how to let people know someone is reading - please let me know. I don´t want to join tons of blogs. So what to do?

I would also recomend this one ...if it was active:

http://jcveaghen.blogspot.dk/

But last entry 2011 it seems to be inactive. Nice pictures though.


Later addition ....I left my first comment for Nia and her reviews. She responded ...TY Nia.

Learning By the Net - Campaign

Todays entry in the LBN is a link to a site with some great pictures. If you like me seem unable to snap thoose great shots yourself

http://wallpaperspuff.blogspot.dk/2011/07/free-wallpapers.html

I was actually online trying to find a template for a peacock to put on my reallife notebook to "sprouse" it up a bit. And then I stumpled on to this.

Free Wallpapersite

And of course the previous post on free photos still helps a newbie blogger

Crack open the Campagne of your choice

Many thanks to

As I can now alter my background for the post titles....Hurrah'

Please feel free to crack open a bottle of your choice and rejoyce with me.

I know it looks a bit scary and - yes- blogger will warn to NOT alter and instead use CSS additioin in "layout". That didn´t work for me. But the link tutorial did. So you give a try.

But why - Blogger - am I to mess with the HTML - code ? why is that not a standart option for bloggers?

And so I was "hacked"

Many thanks to the above website that helped me removed a virus. I wonder how I contracted the darn thing and curse thoose pirates of the www.


Next link is just me getting inspered:

Posting 3 Campaigns today

Hello dear friend in the world wide web.

Campaign nr. 1 Bloggerintent.
Today I am (as per learned in the bloggerposts previously) posting one post pr. opinion. Starting off with what is learned on the internet today:

• Use bullitpoints ;)
• 250 words per post as Search engines sort out tons of words before choose the ones to show- such as I-was-oline- You - are - Kind. Basically all the word we use. Ending or keeping only the unique 5 word that is left.
• Why do people read on the web?

That last one needs a bit more explanation. I use the net for information and insperation. So I like blogs or posts that do such things. But would I read my own posts as such? When I read about blogging it said-"use like diary or voice your opinion." But if people don´t read to be entertained but then what are posts for?

Then a blog should be more like a notebook where people could choose to the note that "fit" their needs.

• What sort of blog would you like and how to design it?

When I go looking for information I like blogs like:

http://sixrevisions.com/web_design/10-important-traits-of-a-great-blog-design/

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/good-pictures-blog/

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/good-pictures-blog/

But when I go for insperation I like blogs like:

http://www.spiceupyourblog.com/2011/07/35-best-free-blogger-templates-of-2011.html
http://makincuteblogs.com/2010/12/making-a-custom-header-using-picnik-so-easy-and-free/



But what does a newbie - blogger do if you want to be an intermix? If "your" blog was to be straight up information and yet have "pretty" - "girly" stuff. I mean if your intent with your blog is dual?

Pretty and girly not going to well as design of blog is still not going like I would have like it to :(

LOL---forgot A/employ picture or video

Photo - links

Still trying to get some great pictures for my blog especially for my blog, I found this one:

If you scroll down there is some picture - links.

God bless the man for showing me... but

http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2010/08/25/how-to-take-great-photos-of-your-projects-the-adafruit-photo-tutorial-by-johngineer/

It really is a good tutorial as having great pictures for your blog but - Wow.

I´ll give this one a shot but it is still not quite what I am looking for

http://www.simplyklassichome.com/2012/04/how-to-get-great-photos-for-your-blog.html

This took forever to load. Am I really to load to computer then to Piscara then to the webalbum and then to the blog???

Just so you know I am really trying on my own

I do really trawl the internet to get help but I am not getting there on my own (hinting at before mentioned photowizard)

http://www.photoshoplab.com/make-your-amateur-photos-more-professional.html
and
http://happinesshunters.com/how-to-make-your-photos-look-more-professional/

You should also adjust brightness at the same time, if the photo is too dark or bright in general.
4. Enhance saturation
Brighter and more vivid colors look usually nice to human eye, so it is often good to enhance the saturation of an image a little bit:
Layer – New Adjustment Layer – Hue/Saturation

I don´t think Piscara has the funtion or option

The composition, lights, and the way the photographer takes the photo is more important than how a photo is edited with any program. A passable photo can't be turned into something great with photoshop.

For example, a photo of a young lady. It was early morning, under a cloudy day (no direct sunlight). After a few test shots, she was relaxed and I shot this photo, focusing on her eyes only.

I shot it in RAW mode and converted it with Adobe Lightroom. I edited it a bit with Adobe Photoshop (to remove a few pimples)--but that was it. I suppose I was lucky--because her parents liked it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pook…

But of course, to answer your question, if you meant to correct minor exposure or other errors, I think (free) programs that you work locally on your computer (rather than uploading a photo to a server) is better. Surely others will suggest their favorites.

Hmmmmm... so if I would like to show some DYI I made, I would need to "stage" the picture?

That was what I got ?
Same ball - same place and not one of them show off what the veloursphere looks like

Photo - wizard still wanted...

For you Picasa wizards outthere I am still looking for a bit of help.

How do I turn this?

Into this:

 I mean as to colortone and shine ....more appealing???

Getting on the "road" with the WWW.

Todays post will be about the www - world because I have made my own webpage and would like it to be found. And - NO - not on a general search I am not wikipedia.  But when I use my last name and some words I know is to be found on my page then ---- I would like my page to be there. BUT

• Google tumbs halfway up - I can put it forward to get indexed
• Yahoo - hours spent logging on my account and getting nowhere :(
• Bing - ??? now I got to get yet another account and then perhaps I will get ok.

Don´t get me wrong.  I understand that the whole world is not looking for my page. But let´s say I love pink and blue dogs and looking for that webpage. If the person owning the page only has an account at google and I am looking with Bing then I ´ll never find my soulhobbymate?????

I think I am wondering if my world will be limited to what my search engine will let me see?

Am I forced to search on all search engines possible? or can I "trust" my engine to find what I need?

For thoose who read the Beauty Rant

Todays Quiz question

Ok - so I have read and am wondering whether to use:

• Jump - breaks - alluring or annoying ?
• Width or size of blog  - largere then life or thiny ?

Let me know what you think.

Later edit: I am award that this post is NOT as per the 250 words. But I struggle between my endless rant and a virtual dialogue with people in the Gobal Universe.

For You to Enjoy too - bloglinks

A follow - up post to the privious one about blogging:

http://www.43folders.com/2008/08/19/good-blogs - Read and used this one
http://makeagoodblog.blogspot.dk/ - Yep - Read and used

http://www.problogdesign.com/design/7-elements-to-make-your-blog-look-great/ - this one I wish I could do this. You know like some people have a natural feel or view of the visual - I have not.


Please leave a note or something you get the use of pictures or alternative use of pictures on blogs. I find it hard to find royalty pictures and then how to alter them into creative looks. So let me know if you have some " 10 easy steps".

So My Learning Curve contiunes

As many of you know I am a newly blogger and it has indeed been a learning curve "experience extraordinar". So far I have learned:

1. How to make a personalized header.... Download this (photoaltering program of your choice) and find your imagesize in the HTML. (That followed of course by a warning from Blogger: "Don´t mess with HTML, as it will alter parameters if not handle correctly". Which leaves the newly blogger ????? (LOL)

2. How to make a userappealing blog: colour - spelling(which you have noticed is my weekness)- balance

3. Employ video and Photos - wonderfull that one I got all on my own. ;)

4. Be different... ??? I get what is implyed but the one is hard. Do one have to be Julia Child?

5. Stick to 250 words. (or 14 lines - yes I counted LOL).

That last one sort of ends this post for obvious reason. But I am getting smarter by the minute.



Good luck to you outthere in the Gobal Universe.
