  • Tag Cloud
  • Top Clicks | Top Posts | Top Rated
  • Although the Wordpress.com collection of 90+ themes sounds like a lot, options for customization are limited unless you pay for an upgrade that allows stylesheet editing
  • If Wordpress.com allowed stylesheet editing without having to pay, and visitor stats comparable to the tracker scripts you can obtain for free, my choice would have been Wordpress.com for sure
  • One other comparison is the difference of how each handle leaving comments.
  • Wordpress allows a handy comment box with the post
  • annoying feature of Blogger is that it opens another window that does not match the theme of your blog.
  • If you create a new blogspot blog the initial selection of templates is incomplete.
  • To see the complete list you need to go to the template section of the dashboard and click on "Pick New Template".
  • Blogger uses the term "stretch" for variable width templates.

fototagger tagging faux freeware annotate

shared by LeisHowI on 11 Jul 10 - Cached
  • FotoTagger is a free utility that lets you tag photos with small descriptive notes on any part of an image
  • does not ‘spoil’ the image because the notes can be easily removed and also hidden with a click of a button.
  • photos also can be shared across the web along with the comments or annotations.
  • ...18 more annotations...
  • with FotoTagger we can pinpoint any element on the photo and place a comment on it.
  • Photos (JPEGs) can be given a caption that’s like a label for the whole photo or a tag which can be pointed towards any element in the photo (also called a callout).
  • An image can be given only one caption but it can have multiple tags
  • Fonts and colors can be customized for tags and captions
  • They can be shown as rectangles or as balloons.
  • Tags and captions do not significantly add to the size of the image as they are stored within the image file in text format.
  • also can be revealed and hidden with a single click within FotoTagger (thus, displaying the image with and without tags).

      Viewing enabled only if within a particular program?
  • technically inclined can use the image information tabs in the bottom panel to view specific data like EXIF, IPTC, image properties, histogram and of course the tags for the image
  • Comment tab is for entering a more descriptive note on the particular image or the whole album.
  • Single images or a bunch with all its annotations can be exported (and imported back) to and from Flickr
  • While exporting, you can also perform a resize operation
  • also lets us publish annotated pictures to our blogs (Blogger and LiveJournal). If the image size is too large for blogs, an alert pops up requesting permission to resize the image.
  • Exporting to HTML as whole folders or as individual files is also a two step process.
  • get are HTML pages that include the annotated image with tags which can be hidden with a click of a button. These are viewable in any browser and do not require FotoTagger for displaying the tags.
  • Creating animated slideshows and presentations
  • fourth way is to send annotated images by email. Send it with tags merged into the image automatically through FotoTagger which launches your default email application.
  • But cosmetics aside, FotoTagger does the basic job of captioning and tagging quite well.
  • plug-in which allows us to capture an image straight from either IE or Firefox into FotoTagger is not updated for the latest version of the Firefox browser.
  • LeisHowI on 11 Jul 10
     
    I don't know if it counts as 'real' tagging, and it doesn't say if other programs or services read that data. Interesting I suppose, if you like annotating things.

Zoundry Raven vs Live Writer: Fight! « Scott's Windows Live Ramblings - 0 views

winliveblogs.com/...dry-raven-vs-live-writer-fight

features guide comparison blogging blog client Windows Live Writer Zoundry Raven

shared by LeisHowI on 21 Jul 10 - Cached
  • in Live Writer, if you omit the http:// from your blog address, it will add that for you, ZR doesn’t. ZR also detects this blog incorrectly as being “Wordpress (ver 2.1 or ealier [sic])” whereas this blog is actually Wordpress 2.9.2, so almost there, but not quite.
  • Live Writer also downloads the blog’s theme so that you can edit your post as it would appear in your blog (ZR offers this, but in a slightly different way, see later).
  • there is a difference in how much is offered to each blog. Live Writer pips this due to the extra XHTML, Right To Left support, plug-in support, turning on script and embedding support
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Live Writer, it downloads the blog’s theme automatically and offers this as default, so straight away as soon as you start writing your blog post, you’re already looking at the style your blog has:
  • ive Writer’s theme detection has, since the very beginning, been very good at grabbing the theme and formatting it [almost] perfectly within the editor window.
  • where things start to fall down for ZR, when it started to get my theme it ultimately failed with an error:
  • the big difference comes in and swings this more towards Live Writer. As noted above with the themes, Live Writer lets you actually write your blog post as if you were writing in your actual blog, this means you can get the layout just how you want it.
  • ZR does offer WYSIWYG editing, it’s not quite up to that same standard of “cool.”
  • One thing that ZR does have for post editing that has been requested for Live Writer is tabbed support.
  • both editors let you insert images into your blog post and arrange the post where you want them to go, you can create thumbnails of the images.
  • However, Live Writer does come into its own when it comes to editing the image. ZR offers your basic properties of an image, adding alt tags, etc:
  • although at least ZR will let you [in a roundabout way] edit the name of a pasted image, rather than just having Imagex.png. You also can’t insert a web image easily in ZR, although for Wave 3 on Windows 7, neither can Live Writer, not without a plug-in.
  • Live Writer on the other hand has a multitude of different things you can do with the image:
  • crop the image, rotate, tilt, add effects, etc.
  • plug-in architecture in Live Writer for 3rd party developers to write enhancements for it, adding further functionality so that you can do a whole multitude of things. This just simply doesn’t exist in ZR.
  • With ZR, even having done added a blog template, it still doesn’t actually let you write your blog post using that theme, it only lets you preview it using that theme:
  • Another nice feature that ZR has over Live Writer (although quite why this isn’t in Live Writer is beyond me) is search and replace!
  • , there is already one feature that rocks for Live Writer, and that is the split post feature.
  • insert a split into your post, it means anything above it will appear on your front page, and everything else will appear once you’ve gone to the full article.
  • providers are now supporting it (wordpress, Community Server, blogger, to name a few).
  • Save as draft
  • acking in ZR,
  • Through its plug-in architecture, developers have been able to add extra functionality to Live Writer, like Flickr support, ImageShack (of sorts), uploading non image files, and various other services.
  • ZR, however, does this out the box, this is quite cool, especially if you want to keep all your images (blog or otherwise) in one central place, rather than split across different services.
  • Live Writer offers video support for YouTube, both the browsing, and uploading, of videos, right from within Live Writer
