Visual Photo Candy for your Blog: Free Cool Slideshows

As I have been confined to the house for a few days I wanted to get some of my photos up on the blog for my bloggies to enjoy. I talk alot of Africa, my family, friends, throughout my ramblings so why not add a little photo presentation. Now that google and picasa have teamed up I thought this would be a quick and easy task. Well it was indeed...QUICK, EASY and super-dee-duper UGLY. The photos were teeny , different sizes and I didn't like the format - the photos were scaled by photo image size. It just looked plain weird. 

So I just knew... "some where.... out there" [sung to the famous song] there had to be a dreamy,  fabulous graphic display system  for photos out there. Sure enough I stumbled upon PhotoSnack.com. Instantly I was drawn to their style. One look and you can tell they are a bit edgier than many of their competitors. They have several fun little projects you can create. You can even add some musical accompaniment.  Some projects you need to pay for - Some are FREE -[ they just want to add a lil' advertisement at the end of the show... and who wouldn't want a little credit anyway?]

You can change the size of your slideshow images, originally I went with a medium size but it was WAY too big. I ended up using the smallest size option. (Isn't it great...did I ask that already?) You can pick textures, background colors, different designs, you can add a photo background behind your photos. Isn't it GREAT???  Oh, you are going to LOVE it!

So check out my slideshow I put together and tell me how you like it? (Don't ya' just love it?) and for free!

Do you LOVE the  BIG - BOLD looks that digital design can produce? It is incredible what can be done when you pair some great creativity with the latest technology. I know for me I get really excited with concept until it comes time to pull out the old cash-ola. It can be p-r-i-c-e-y to get the creative flow moving. 

That is until....NOW! When I first stumbled upon this I was like...

"Are you kidding me?"

 This is SO COOL!!! ...and the software is FREE???  Just pick that one favorite image you keep looking at - you know, the one that melts your heart every time you look at it. This program will create multiple pieces from one image and you can print it on your own at-home printer. SWEET!  Just visit the PosteRazor website and check it out for yourself.
