Fabulous Blogging Tips

Check out this BIG photo! I've always wondered how to make my photos larger than the normal blogger size. And, I've wondered how to find out when people link to my blog. And, I've wondered how to write a little message for people commenting on my blog.

Well, I don't have to wonder any longer thanks to the ever so fabulous, Leni & Rose! Every Tuesday, she's posting her "Blogging Tips and Tricks". Everything is explained so clearly with screenshots for those of us who get lost in lots of text when it comes to instructions.

I know where I'll be heading every Tuesday. Wanna meet me there?

On a completely different topic.... I just got a note from Little Munchkins, I won a pencil roll from her blog! I'm very excited as I've been eyeing off other people's pencil rolls and have wanted one myself. And recently, I also won an advertising spot from the amazing Lisa of Craft Boom and U Handbag. I feel so lucky! It's a perfect time to be drawing my own giveaway tomorrow night to share the love!

Flickr Favourites Mosaic and How to Get Mosaic Links

One Little Acorn has recently been playing with the Mosaic Maker over at Big Huge Labs. She was wondering how to get the links to the photos. Of course, that seemed like far more fun to play with than marking tests like I should be....

This is a mosaic I made with some of my Flickr favourites.

1. Hiyori, 2. Labels, 3. Mushroom House: Red, 4. SPFW inverno 2008 - by Ronaldo Fraga, 5. cupids, 6. Grace, 7. Passport Wallet-Kokeshi Dolls (Interior), 8. Passport Wallet-Kokeshi Dolls, 9. shibori furoshiki

After you hit the "create button" it takes you (after a short wait) to a page with your new mosaic. Under that is a box that says "Copy this html...".

Do that, and you have your links! Mind you, this will only work if you've got the photos from Flickr (or I believe another online source). You can't get links for photos you've uploaded directly from your computer files.
