Photo and Pictures

Create your own photo blog. How do I do if I want to show off my beautiful pictures and photos on the web? Sure it works well with Flickr which I tell about the past. I might get some more opportunities and perhaps mix more with text. When is a photo blog is a good alternative. I looked around a little to find a good and simple alternative. You can paste your things in. You can also use Aminus3 as an alternative and you can find my aminus3 here.

What I came up with is that most photo blogs are either full of advertising or very limited. I tested some solutions and found that the combination of Blogger, with Ipernity is probably the best solution for several reasons. Blogger because it is easy for a novice to handle and make the design as you want it. In addition, you get the blogger a chance to upload 1000 images. You can build a simple photo blog solely with blogger. Why add Ipernity? First, you’ll get 1 Gigabyte of space for your images and also makes it easy to create slideshows that you can then easily paste into a blog entry. You will be using Picasaweb if you use Blogger. Be sure to read the service TOS to see if suits you.

1. Create Blogger account and select Minima Black as template. I like to use black or gray background to highlight the images.

2nd When you are ready to go into the settings / publishing, and set the Show at the 1 post on the main page. You can also set the correct time zone and language.

3rd Now it’s just to “create mail” where you press the image icon and then you get up a menu where you can choose to either upload an image or specify a URL where you have your image. Begin by uploading an image from your hard drive. Press Browse and find your way on the hard disk where you saved your image. Select Large and Left and then press publish. It is automatically generated code into your post and you should not write any text, so you only need to choose a title or publish without a title.

4th In order to avoid the ugly part about the photo so you go into the code and change a little. How should it be < img style = "float: left; border: 0; margin: 0 10px 10px ... You see, I've added the border: 0; which indicates that I do not want to show any frame.

5th I may Template further change the look of your blog. I can add a link list by clicking on Add Page Element and select the Link list. I advise to test around a little here because it is easy to change the appearance so that you get it as you want it. Within certain limits. My Photo Blog became like this. How was yours?

6th The next step is not necessary and can of course be exchanged with other sites where you can outsource your photos. just remember to read the Terms of Service. The benefits of Ipernity is that it is easy to both get the URL for the pictures that you can easily suit on the blog.

7th Once you have uploaded your image to Ipernity so you can simply copy the URL link and paste it into the URL address instead of Blogger to upload images from your hard drive. If you create a slide show in Ipernity so please copy and paste only the code you get from Ipernity to post and publish. You can always make albums and paste the code of the slideshow.

Again, I would say that you should read the Terms of service of service so that you do not lose the rights to your own photos. Many service are using their service to get hold of your content. A little ugly, I think even if there is more to protect itself so that the service is legal to work without having to worry about lawsuits.
