Tech Tip: Learn Resolution - REALLY Learn It!
Check out this article by Lesa Snider King for iStockPhoto (”I Resolve To Be More Resolute: Understanding Resolution”). While obviously geared to the broader group of people who buy iStockPhoto credits and download their images, it’ll help you clear up any lingering misperceptions you have over DPI, PPI, and file size.
And if you don’t use images in your blogging - why not think about it? Yes, it adds a slight cost to your cost of producing a blog post (and if you’re like me, that cost is measured strictly in terms of lost TV watching time and coffee drunk) but if you’re slightly more business like about it, think about the ROI (that’s “return on investment” for you creative types who are allergic to biz-lingo) of adding some sharp, relevant images to your blog posts. It creates visual appeal and stimulates your readers’ brains and unless you’re Paris Hilton, this is a good thing.

De nada, amiga. Image work really isn’t my strong suit as a blogger either!
