OK, RedKid is cool, and so is Snipshot. I used RedKid and Signmaker to make the signs. I tried to resize them with Snipshot so they’d fit on this page better, resizing in Snipshot & saving, then uploading the altered file seemed to have no effect whatever, so I ended up resizing the picture right in the WordPress visual editor, once I found it.
It also took me a while to figure out how to get the graphics where I wanted them on the blog post. What I ended up doing was uploading them and sending them to the editor, then cutting them and pasting them in where I wanted them. I was also able to resize to some extent, but not to get the whole image to show; if it started out too wide it was always truncated to the right, no matter how much resizing I did.
But – finally! …a web-based tool that has an Undo feature! (Snipshot)
I got really excited when I thought of the possibilities of this kind of thing for info lit. For example:
- Q: How is the library catalogue like the 403? A: It’s local and it’s free.
- Q: How are article databases like the 407? A: They cost money (but the library pays)
- Q: How is the Internet like the 401? A: It’s free, like the 403, but covers a lot more territory….
Well, whatever. “ ;-)”
…and I still don’t understand why some of my blog images fit perfectly in my editing window, but get cut off in the actual blog.
Oh, well, as they say…
