Resizing Photos or Images For Your Blog

September 7, 2008

Let’s look at a way to resize your images for your blog.

When you start creating your own Blog (web site) you may quickly end up with a slow loading Blog. And most of the time it’s due to the amount of images or the size of individual images you load on to your blog. This is a problem; because people visiting your blog will not wait until your blog loads, therefore you’ll have less visitors to your blog.

How do you resize the images and photos for your blog?

Download the free InfraView and use this fine piece of software to resize your images before you upload your photos and images to your blog.

Why Is NextGen Gallery Under Rated?

August 20, 2008

When you want to sell anything a photo, a gallery and a slide show will make the difference. And NextGen Gallery is making the difference for people who create online newsletters, blogs and websites at iLocals.Info.

The learning curve to use NextGen effectively exists. But it’s all worthwhile. Although I am no expert yet I was able to create a vary nice gallery for the real estate I sell.

This is what I did:

I created a gallery for each home for sale.

I created a page for each home for sale.

All these pages where sub pages of the one main for sale page.

And then I created a photo album from all the galleries.

Now, if you go to the main for sale page you’ll see the album and when you click on an album your are taken to the sub pages with the galleries.

Neat! Well that’s what I thought. And you can sell or brag with anything using NextGen Gallery. The plugin is installed on your iLocals.Info blog.

But before I brag let me get back to earth. Just when I thought I know a little bit about NextGen Gallery I came across this amazing use of NextGen Gallery to sell Real Estate.

All the tools and training material to use NextGen Gallery is available to anyone who has access to iLocals.Info or who want access to create on iLocals.Info.

If you need support to use NextGen Gallery then you can apply for it.
