hello, hello! in my last full post, i mentioned that the borders i add to our photos in photoshop can be time-consuming, but i really like them and so do you guys. i have templates, but each one has to be created as a separate jpeg resulting in two image files per photo.
so, dave gave me a source explaining how to add borders to photos automatically in the blogger template, or within each post. i like the borders, but wanted to give a sense of shadow to match my other photos and found this source listing the different styles - i'm using outset.
now, i don't want to apply borders to the entire blog because it would look like there were doubles and my most special images will still get photoshop borders, so i'll do it within each post per image. pretty much, i cut and paste html code into the image source like this -
style="border:1px outset #e6e6e6; padding:7px;"
it's a little bit tricky and i have to use the new blogger editor, but i've been able to do it in the last few posts. the border looks a bit different from my other photos (maybe better?), but it takes less time and i have fewer computer files.
i hope that makes some sense and email me if you have any questions about posting within a blog post in blogger, only. i want to thank dave and all the other people who take the time to teach the rest of us what they know online - it is awesome. see you thursday with more learn & share! i think that will be the theme this week ;)!
xo, cindy

Perfect music to get me going this morning!
I love the things we learn from the blogging community! I love the look you are getting with the new tools.
thank for the explanation. i´m trying to figure out- how to place my photos side by side and in a collage... hope you are having a great day!
thanks jamie and loving grace potter. sounds great jane, a lot of people do that through flickr (big huge labs), but i have a photoshop template i can send you if you drop me an email.
sounds SO much easier...thanks for sharing Cindy!

So glad I could help! But you really ran with it. Nice job. I think the borders look great.
The photos look great too, of course, but I may be biased. :)
this is great, for me I have an option on my camera and the pictures can come with a border, less time!
lovely pics CindY!!!
I've always enjoyed the frames around your photos -- it does indeed make them pop.
The bonsai is so meditative -- lovely, lovely photos as always Cindy!
thanks everyone and i hope the information is somewhat helpful. i think the borders go back to when i would color as a kid and emphasize the outlines of everything a little bit more with the black crayon ;).
that first photo is gorgeous!
have a lovely day!

whoo-hoo! you'll become a code monkey before you know it... :)
These photographs make me want to run off to the botanic garden :)
How fabulous! These borders look great, Cindy!
Thanks Cindy!
Must admit; I'm a bonsai killer...never had any sucess, in my office there's a 'freeze-dried version'...just isn't the same!

I love your borders, at times I wish I had blogger instead of typepad. Great photos!
thanks for the tips!
