asking how I add the different fonts to my posts.
It’s very easy but it does take a little time.
To begin if you haven’t yet, Download Picasa.(More on Picasa at the end.)Then you need a high resolution white page.
Here is a link.
HR White Page
I got this from Centsational Girl.
After opening, right click the white page and save it to your computer.
I also put the link on my favorites bar so I can snag it easily.
Immediately after you have saved your white page
a link to the file should appear above your bottom tool bar.
Open the link by clicking on it.
It will look like the image below.
At the bottom is an
“Edit in Picasa” button.
Click on it.
This is what your screen will look
like when it’s open in Picasa.
Notice at the bottom it gives the size of your page.
Picasa provides a link to go directly to Picnik.
I don’t know what I’m going to do when they take Picnik away.
I’ll have to figure that out later.
In Picnik I recrop and add stickers.
My little bird is a sticker and I change the color to yellow.
All finished.
Save to Picasa.
Big yellow button on the right.
I upload my images to Google+ photos.
It used to be called Picasa Web Albums.
I then load them directly into my post.
The word art loads exactly like a photo.
To size it choose the original size option.
If you make it bigger or smaller it tends to get a bit blurry.
Here is what you get at the end.

Happy Sunday!
Oh how perfect. I need to try this. Great tutorial. Hugs, Marty
Thank you Ann. I needed to know about White page. I do know about fonts. I switched to Photoscape for editing and love it. Pat at the Back Porch Musing uses it too. It is not difficult and is free and has wonderful features. It is not Mac compatible. If you have a Mac try BeFunky.
PhotoScape is my GO TO for most things…I've used it for years.
To change my fonts, I use the simple Blogger template page. There must 60 or more…from script to kooky to really cool. And, you can change them in nothing flat.
Thanks for your tutorial on this. I am so sick about losing Picnik and have tried several others…some pretty good but none comparing to Picnik.
Ann,
You are so generous to share how you do this! I'm going to play around with it when I get a little time today.I'll have to say that I didn't know about white pages! I have started Photoscape for some of my editing.
Okay- I am in TOTAL awe of you now! I so need to start learning some of this stuff. I am saving this to my tutorials. YOU are SOOOO smart and Thank You for taking time to do this. xo Diana
WOW! I am so impressed, Ann. You made a wonderful tutorial. Will you let us know which new photo editing tool you end up choosing? I only learned about Picnik a few weeks ago and the day I signed up, they sent me a notice they were closing down! I haven't been back (my old brain doesn't want to strain to learn something that is going away. LOL). So, will the Picassa thing not do as much as Picnik did?? I am totally ignorant about the photo editing tools. Thanks so much for this wonderfully informative post. I know it was a lot of work! blessings ~ tanna
Oh my! What a great tutorial! Thank you for sharing! I am going to see if I can practice this and make my own buttons!
Fabulous. Now to figure out if I can do it.
Well, thank you Ann for taking the time to do this post, I so need to do this! I'm pinning this, I want to be able to take my time whenever I attempt this:)
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the turorial. Helpful.
Thanks for the tutorial Ann, I have to try this. Where do you get your stickers? I've never seen them on Picnik.
Thanks for the tutorial. It seems there is so much out there I have yet to learn about.
Thanks for sharing this Ann. I would love to give it a try.
Oh, Ann…I have been meaning to stop by your blog for so long! Busy, busy with the new baby and I haven't had time to catch up with all of my favorites :( but I am so happy I stopped by here today! What a wonderful and useful tutorial, thanks so much for sharing!
Great tutorial Ann. I think we can all use this type of instruction, especially now that Picnik is leaving us.
Ok…Ann Einstein! YOU are GENIUS!!
I will try this right now. Look to see how I do.Thanks so much xoLisa
That looks wonderful, but I am so tired right now that I cannot take it in, I will have to remember to do it tomorrow. Thank you for teaching us something new!
Have a lovely day, dear Ann.
Hugs, Cindy
