Hello ladies,
I just have a few notes regarding uploading pictures of your creations.
To help me find things easier, I'd appreciate it if you could add your
name as a label to each of your posts. Sometimes if people work ahead
and there are lots of posts to scroll through, it is simply easier for
me to cue in the label of the person's name to find all of their
projects.
Additionally, when adding a picture of your project to the post, please
click on the image and resize it to large. This is the size that I put
them in the challenge blog and it just saves me one more step when
adding them to the GDT posts. When you originally upload your images
they automatically default to a medium size so taking just a moment to
click on large once you have them in place, will be a great help to me.
Finally, there are two additional steps that you can do when adding your
posts to help make my life easier. However, I completely understand if
you find them too difficult to do so.
First of all, please add the name(s) of the
image(s)/sentiment(s) used in each of your projects. It is important
that I have that info as I don't know all of Sandy's images, and if you
end up using something that you didn't order (i.e. an image or freebie already in your Scribbles Designs collection), I may not realize it is an
SD creation and I wouldn't have a record of it anyway.
There are also two additional steps that you can do to help me out and in the process, help to save me time!
The first things that would help me out is to actually link the name of
the image and/or sentiment to its location in the SD store. When you
order the images you are supposed to provide a store link anyway so you
should have them on hand for those that you order during the month at
least. I know the store can be a bit difficult for finding images but
there is a search button and there are also categories in the sidebar if
you get no where with a search.
The second thing that would be helpful is to add a copy of the watermark
from the store for those images that you have used in your projects.
Please note though that if you use a 'free' image, there will generally
be no watermark so the link will suffice in those cases. You do not have
to save a copy of the images and then upload them--a simple copy and
paste from the store to your draft post will suffice. Since you'll have the
link, it is a simple matter of just going over, right clicking and
scrolling down to choose 'copy image' (or wording to that effect) and
then coming back and pasting the image into your post. If you are able
to do this, resize the watermarked images to medium.
You can see examples of how this is done by scrolling back through the blog and checking out posts from the third quarter guests.
Since you are expected to provide links to the store on your personal
blogs to the images you have used in your projects I am hoping that it
won't be too onerous to provide them on your post in the GDT blog as
well. If adding the watermarks is just too difficult then don't worry
about it.
You may be asking, "if these tasks are so simple, why can't you just go
ahead and do them yourself?" The honest answer is that I can but they
take up precious minutes and I don't have a lot of time to spare. For
example, just finding and adding the links and watermarks for four
posts from guests in the past took me over 30
minutes to accomplish.
Anyway, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Lisa
