Newbies- Answers To Your Top Active Rain Blogging Questions
Nester and Katerina Gasset offer some very good tips for bloggers. I just need to learn how to do these things with a PC. All of us can learn much from other members of ActiveRain.
Life is good in August.
Newbies- here are the answers to some of your most asked questions. I have included the links where you can find the tutorials in detail.Question #1- How do you get colored text, different sized fonts on your blog?Update: Since writing that post there is another great tool that has actually become my favorite Active Rain blog editor. It is using Gmail as an editor. With the Mac- you just drag and drop right from Gmail into your Active Rain WYSIWYG editor. You don't need to know html. It will cut your blogging time in half.Question #2- How do you get your screenshots with arrows and...?Update: With the Mac- you don't need anything except your keyboard to do great screen shots fast and super easy. Just click Shift, Command, 4- then drag your curser over the part of the screen you want to capture, release and there it is! You can then drag the screen shot into Pages or Keynote and use Inspector and the Tool Bar to add your arrows, etc. Again, our Macs increase productivity and save so much time.Question #3- Where do you get those cool safe images to use on your blog?Since I wrote this post the clip art site we use has increased to over 7 million images and added on all kinds of web graphics. Their 3D art is the best I have ever seen.
