Photo editing for Wordpress on the go

Here’s a question:

Have you ever wanted or needed to edit a photo but you don’t have photoshop or some other image editing software program on the computer that you’re using?

Another way to look at it, is perhaps your computer is a little old or you’re using a computer that you can’t install any software on.  Maybe you’re on vacation and you have your little laptop but you really want to post that cool picture of you doing that thing, but you want to cut out the idiot that walked into the frame at the last minute.

How do you edit that picture?

I suggest using an online photoeditor named picnik. It doesn’t do all the heavy lifting that something like Photoshop or GIMP can do, but it does enough to get you by.  They have a free option and a couple of paid options that add more functionality, but I think that most people will do fine using the free tools.

It’s very straight forward and easy to use.

Try it out and let me know what you think.

Flexsqueeze theme issues

I’m using the Flexsqueeze theme on this site, and I must say that I really like it.

I like that I can create squeeze pages  that do not look like, nor do they link to the article/ blog section of this site.

I also like the fact that I can have this entire site as a squeeze page or as a blog site, or both like I just mentioned.  The one thing that I don’t like, is that some plugins don’t work under this theme. The reason the pugins don’t work, is because the theme incoroporates a lot of the functionality that the plugin used to exercise.

Take this error:

flexsqueeze theme cannot redeclare pagenavi

I kept beating my head up against a wall trying to figure out that error message. I was trying to see if there was something in the loop, maybe something in the navigation header or perhaps some weird/ odd setting that I’d somehow missed.  I kept coming up blank, until I approached the problem sideways.

When I came at it sideways, I was able to see that the problem was not with the theme per se, but rather with the wp-navi plugin that I’d installed before I started using this theme.  That plugin was having a conflict with the Flexsqueeze theme and creating the error message in my footer.

All it took to fix the problem, was deactivating the wp-navi plugin. After I did that, the error went away.
