Tips, Tools and Free Software for New Blogger

Hi,

I am a new blogger. Along the way in writing and composing the blog, I have encountered many issues of different aspects.

I would like to share with you some of the helpful tips, tools and software as per belows:

1. FastStone Photo Resizer (Free !)

• An image converter / resizer intended to enable users to convert, rename, resize, crop, rotate, change color depth, add text and watermarks to images in a quick and easy batch mode. Drag and Drop mouse operation is well supported.

2. Loss of Paragraphs

• Go to, Edit Post, click on "Edit Html" instead of "Compose".
• Beginning of paragraph, insert
• End of paragraph, insert
• Click, "Publish Post" (you might not see the actual display in "Preview").

3. Photobucket (Free!)

• Fail to upload 'gif' animated files ?
• Upload the file to photobucket (I have tried FileAve, it is more complicated)
• To copy the file, click "Direct Link" (the file is copied)
• Click "Add Image" from "Edit Post"
• Past the file at "Add an image from the web" (the "URL" box)
• At photobucket, you may also upload all your photos, videos, and images for free. Make photo slide shows to share pics with friends too.

You are most welcome to comment and share with us any useful tips, tools and software. If you have better alternatives and suggestions, please feel free to comment too. Thank you.

Chian, You Are My Super Hero

Who is your superhero? Ironman, The Incredible Hulk, The Dark Knight, Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Transformers, X-Men? Mine, like most women, is my very own husband, Yi Chian.
Writing and composing the blog is not at all easy for me : (
The most recent case was, the "loss of paragraphs" in majority of the published posts, making all sentences joining together. And hence, spending all day cracking my head trouble shooting. It was so weird that everything looks ok in the preview., but not ok in the published posts. Searching through the net for solution of similar cases and even posted my problem in a few forums. Feel so hopeless and upset...
Children go to bed at 9pm, giving them the opportunity to sleep at least 10 hours per night throughout early childhood. Chian came home at 9.50pm during weeknights., yet he is my superhero.
We went through the problem of the joint sentences, he has had a few click here and there, observing the differences of a few posts and started giving me a long lesson., most of the time coupled with a few examples.
Here you are, I have fixed them all in good order.
In the very beginning of writing and composing this blog, I have had bad experience of having to rewrite some of the published posts. Even simple instruction to embed photo albums and insert of links challenge me a lot.
Other than a good lecturer, my superhero can be a good technician, plumber, electrician, gardener and chef too. Above all, he is a 100% good doctor to patient, a responsible husband to wife, a caring father and friend to our children. He will do everything and anything to his best ability and knowledge.
To My Superhero, My Husband, A BIG THANK YOU !
