Hey, Mrs. Isaacs, How'd You Create That Header?

I've had quite a few kiddo's ask how to make jpegs and manipulate the size so they'll fit across the top of their blog and act as a header. While I use Image composer, which is an archaic program, (if it aint broke, don't fix it :-) I don't know what everyone has at home. I'd love for all the kiddo's to learn Photoshop, but that takes money.

And so when I ran across this little jewel of a freebie I had to share! It's called pixlr.com. It has similar features to Photoshop, and I'd love for the kiddo's to play! Now, you do have to sign up, which basically involves giving them your email and creating a password, but once that's taken care of you can create, layer, and put words on any picture you'd like. Too, some of the tools (such as the lasso, the wand, etc) are the same as Photoshop, so learn this first and when we get to that stage it'll be a breeze!

Now I'm learning this one with you, so I'm no expert. But if you have a questions feel free to post one and I'll see if I can't find the answer. As always, go play, have fun, be fearless, and learn something new!

Mrs. Isaacs.

Got Questions?

We've had so many kiddo's create blogs that I thought it might be a good idea if you had a spot to ask questions if you get stuck. Comment a question and I'll try to get back to you within 24 hours. Remember, short of going into the template HTML code, any mistakes you make I can probably fix, so be fearless, explore, create, and most of all have fun!

The Best Beach in the World!

Have you ever been to Myrtle Beach? I have. Let me tell you all about this place. First of all, I love the wet, sandy ground that touches your heels. Secondly, there are a lot of activities you can do like surf, build a sand castle, swim, jump the waves, and all kinds of other stuff. My favorite one is surfing. Last but not least, I love the seashells there. At nigh, you can search for them.
