Adobe Photoshop Basics (part 1)

      In my previous Adobe tutorials, you are aware that the video tutorials I shared is for advanced adobe users. Now that I got a lot of requests from friends to teach to them the adobe basics, I'm just going to share it here in my blog.

      If you are a beginner, the first thing you should do is create a new canvas and use every tool you see in adobe platform. In that way, you can explore the tools with no worries on what the outcome would be.

      For those who are too busy for that, and wanted to learn by just reading and watching tutorials, I'll share some basic tools of adobe. Well I say aside from those that are very basic (i.e. the menu bars, how to open the images, to create a new canvas, etc.) That's because it's too easy that even elementary students will discover it.. lol ^^

Marrying the Billionaire: Meet the new Mrs. Zuckerberg

      Pricilla Chan, the new "Facebook First Lady" as I call her, recently updated her status on facebook as the wife of the "World's Youngest Billionaire! Mark Zuckerberg married his girlfriend in a surprise and private ceremony just this Saturday, May 19 held at their home in California. 

      The ceremony was so secret the guests don't even know they will attend a wedding! The 100 guests were only told it was her Graduation Party. I just love how the two managed not to get attention and maintained privacy in their wedding.

      Well, addiction is an exaggeration but who knows? It might be true someday. XD Whenever I see a professional photo shoot like those on National Geographic Channel (book) and on magazines , I get marveled on how a picture can portray a lot of things... Yeah, curiosity got me.. hehe

PIXLR tutorial: DARK ART

     Before all of this, I just want to stress out my quote.

ART IS JUST LIKE SCIENCE. THE KEY TO CREATIVITY IS EXPERIMENT. ^^

So what is PIXLR?

      Pixlr is a free online photo editor. If you don't have an Adobe Photoshop, this would be the best alternative to use. What I love about Pixlr is that it has 3 features.

1. The PHOTO EDITOR.
      This is my favorite among the three because it's so close to Adobe. This used to be my stepping stone to photo editing. I practiced here and learned a lot about some of Adobe's features. If you want to excel in editing, you must try this. ^^

Add a Facebook Comment Box to your Blogspot

      This tool is widely used by bloggers and website owners for easy access because many blog visitors gets annoyed on how the blog requires them to fill up forms before they could comment. Also, one good thing about this comment box is that it is connected to your facebook account. Meaning, Facebook will notify you whenever someone liked or replied to your comments.

      Comments are easily shared with friends or with people who like your Page on Facebook. If a user leaves the “Post to Facebook” box checked when she posts a comment, a story appears on her friends’ News Feed indicating that she’s made a comment on your website, which will also link back to your site.

Follow the steps carefully.. ^^

What is backlink?

     "Backlink" is a term that refers to links that point to a website or webpage from another website. Backlinks on other sites can increase a website's traffic. They also are tools used in search engine optimization (SEO), because the number and quality of backlinks that point to a website's often plays a role in the site's rank among search results.

     Thus, if you add this to your site or blog, it will increase your blog's visitors. Add backlinks as many as you like. ^^

Earn by viewing ADS

      Have you ever imagined yourself earning easy money? Mind you, I too never had not until I got exposed to online earning because of some facebook friends who are good at making money online. But getting money by clicking ads? I thought it was impossible but nothing really is.

     This system is called Paid-To-Click (PTC) Sites. It is the most popular internet income opportunity at present. These sites pay you whenever you click, view, or surf an advertisement. You can earn $100 per month or more for just 30 mins daily (only if you are diligent and consistent enough ^^)

HOW DOES IT WORK?
