I wish I would take the time to learn to use Photoshop (because I could have made myself look a lot thinner in my Halloween costume)! But I already have a long “to do” list.  Like learning PHP.  I bought the PHP & MySQL of Dummies book, but haven’t opened it yet.

So, I’m gonna continue to use Photobucket for my image editing and hosting.  I like to use it to grab images from other sites and resize them, like I did with this book graphic from Amazon —->

That way you aren’t “stealing” images and bandwidth from other sites that may delete the graphic sooner or later leaving a red X on your site. I don’t think Photobucket is going anywhere anytime soon (Alexa ranking is 34) at the time of writing. And did I mention it’s free?  FREE is my middle name.  Check out Photobucket.com yourself.

Speaking of Alexa, I found a post on Tips to Improve Your Alexa Ranking by GoogleLady. Of course, the top suggestion being to download and install the Alexa toolbar yourself since you probably surf your own site more than anyone else. Download it now! I did.

Back to Photobucket, I do have one suggestion though - can you make another resize option? The 640×480 is a tad big (seen here) and the 320×240 is a tad small (two shown here)- how about an size somewhere in the middle?  It’d be much appreciated.  Thanks.  And have a nice day.
