Does anyone know the best way of posting photos to your blog? I downsize my photos to 1024 x 780 approximately so they load faster. Then, I edit the html to make the photos slightly larger than the 320 x 240 size Blogger automatically uses. Even at 480 x 360, the photos are not as sharp as when you click on them and get the full 1024 resolution. This is most apparent with vista views--large landscape. Yet, I have seen photos sharper on other blogs. Is it something I am doing or is it just Blogger?
You may want to try using Windows Live writer
ReplyDeleteIt is a free download from microsoft
I like the flexabilty for blogger.
many size photos..u can make up your own size..and have it link to whatever size photo u want when clicked on.
Check it out..
if u have any questions about it I can help u out.
once you use live writer to publish your blog..you wont publish again thru blogger.
much more versitile!
dAwN--Thanks--I will check Windows Live out.
ReplyDeleteI like to resize my photos to 1600 x ~1200 in Photoshop Elements using the bicubic mode then upload to blogger. I like the resulting resolution
ReplyDeleteJohn--I will try that sometime if I don't have a photo that already cropped smaller than that resolution. I definitely need to keep playing with posting photos! Thanks for the note.
ReplyDeleteI love Wordpress for my blog and Flickr for my photos. When you post photos to Flickr, it creates several sizes for you. My "big" ones are the "medium" size 500Xwhatever. I usually tweak the html to make them 450 by whatever so that they fit on the template i'm using. I pay for a "pro" account in Flickr and it gives me lots of ways to organize and search my photos, and unlimited storage. In Wordpress, I just link to flickr for the photos. (Can you do that from blogger?)
ReplyDeleteNot sure, I always load my photos from flickr.
