The experts say to have a successful blog, you should include many bright and colorful photos

The experts say to have a successful blog, you should include many bright and colorful photos

Prettyfake

I’m assuming then, it’s completely acceptable to use ridiculous quantities of Photoshop actions to enhance the shots?

Or, to post groupings of shots that are not related in any way to the previous shots. Like my new toaster? And my new food processor?

Awesomeness
Shiney

(That’s right? How you like me now?)

Or maybe shots that provide irrefutable proof that we are not alone in the universe?

Theyreback

Or, irrefutable proof that with patience, you can spell just about any word using strategically placed edibles from a bag of Chex Mix?

Yum

Man, they’re RIGHT. Adding many bright and colorful photos DOES enhance the entire blog experience.

Happy Friday, y’all.

    Consider your blog a “great success!” (to quote Borat, you must supply the Borat accent in your own head as you say it).

    I am pleased to note that extraterrestrials dig AC/DC. The burning question in my mind is: do they too have to cave and shop at Wal-Mart to get the new album???

    The secret is to NOT tell people you photoshopped the pictures so we can stand in awe of you…well, I am awed by you, anyway.

    Hey, when are the vlogs coming back? You should sing for us some more. It was very…enlightening.

    Love the post…made me laugh. Thanks for the chili recipe above. And happy chopping with your new Cuisinart. I just made some yummy nutty granola with mine. I used to do it by hand and it would take FOREVER to chop all those nuts. Have fun and thanks again. Also-I am loving your class. I’ve never made so many cool pages. My friends are all jealous! lol
