Free image/graphics tools(similar to Photoshop) for webmasters/bloggers.

Though Photoshop is the great image/graphics tool but it is expensive to buy. But there are some applications which can function nearly as Photoshop and are freely available to download without any registration or activation. Some of these are GiMP, PhotoFilter, PaintShop Pro etc.


GIMP 2


As per the www.gimp.org : "GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

How to Add Classified Labels ( Sub-Labels) for blogger?


Our reader, SHAILABH recently asked me: "Do u have any idea how i can classify the labels? and for each class i want to create dropdown menu. Plz help." So I done some research and found a nice script at Destroydrop

What you will need is to get/sort all your labels and then arrange them. e.g.


LABELS

+ Games
- PC
  - Action
  - Shooter
  - RPG

- Console
  - PS 2 
  - XBOX

+ Softwares
- Windows
- MAC
- Linux

Have you tried the new "Page" feature from Blogger.

If you've desperately wanting to have the static pages like Wordpress on Blogger too, your wish has been fulfilled by the Blogger team. They've just released the new feature "Pages" for Blogger where you can create and publish static Pages on your Blogger blog.

This page will have a different url from your post. Like the url for post in Blogger is
http://www.blog-name.com/2010/06/post-name.html
Instead the page url will be
http://www.blog-name.com/p/page-name.html
This way you can easily identify, which one is a post and which one is static page.

To create a static page on Blogger-

I. Goto Dashboard > Edit Posts > Edit Pages as shown below.




II. Now Click on the "New Page" button as shown below and this will open an HTML editor similar to one you get while creating post.



Now add whatever content you wanna add and publish it.

When you publish your page, you will be asked whether you would like to display pages on your blog, with options to show it in sidebar or in tabs or without gadget i.e. by manual linking.



But there are a few limitations with this feature:

1. You can only create a maximum of 10 pages.

2. Separate templating for pages would be a little too difficult(but not impossible :) )

3. The Static Pages are not included in the Post Exports till now.(at the time when this post is made)
