Okay, so there was this one time I spent almost an hour in Photoshop making a collage of photos. Should I repeat that last part? AN HOUR. On a collage. If I had to look back on my life and assess colossal wastes of my time, that would rank near the top. Right on up there with YouTube videos of baby kittens.
Early in my career I tried to find ways to showcase my photos in a creative way while also placing a copyright on my photos. I didn't mind if people shared them, I just wanted to ensure people could find the place of origin. This resulted in making my blogging ritual the most time consuming component of my business.
I, essentially, wanted to create a border or watermark for my images, but it required me to label each picture in Photoshop…one.by.one. I wanted to pull my hair out. Until, that is, I found Blogstomp. With a click of a button, it resizes, watermarks, and places my web-optimized photos in a separate folder. Boom, done. What used to take me 30 minutes now takes me less than three minutes.
Version 2.0 of the app allows for easy sharing with Facebook, Twitter, and blogging the images directly from the app, which has streamlined the process too!
Prospective brides have found my site via Facebook and Pinterest simply by seeing my logo on a photo…and this couldn't make me happier. If you're looking for a quick way to create collages, copyright your photos, or simply resize for web, this might help you as much as it's helped me.
The best news is that my friend Chip at Blogstomp is hosting a GIVEAWAY…one lucky winner will receive the app by leaving your name, email address, and what you like to blog in the comment box! The deadline is TONIGHT @ midnight PST.
