Creating Thumbnail Images
November 20, 2010 in Blog Tools by Diane
Uploading images can be a challenge for a new blogger at the best of times, but when you are trying to create thumbnails then it can be a chore.
According to Wikedia:
“Thumbnails are reduced-size versions of pictures, used to help in recognizing and organizing them, serving the same role for images as a normal text index does for words. In the age of digital images, visual search engines and image-organizing programs normally use thumbnails, as do most modern operating systems or desktop environments.”While creating the page Advertising Resources, I became very frustrated with trying to fit all the images on one page, to the point that I was ready to give up.
A friend of mine was very sympathetic and suggested that I use a program to help reduce the images to thumbnails. When I asked what can I use and more importantly will it be easy to use as I admit to being technically challenged he suggested that I use a program called Easy Thumbnails.
While I could use many adjectives the only one that comes to mind is WOW!
Easy Thumbnails is a freeware progam that you have to download, it has no ads or spyware and it has many hidden features for the novice as well as the professional blogger.
It can enlarge images, adjust color, rename files and quickly show a file of images as a web page and there are tricks that one can do with Easy Thumbnails, that I hope that you will want to try.
