If there was someone who could sponsor me for a DSLR camera, it would be a dream come true for me! Blogs speaks a millions things but a relevant innovative customized photo is so important to give a blog post an interesting appeal to its reader. It would be a costly affair but would be perfect!

Considering the cost I don’t think Photoshop is the idea tool for blogging. Also it has many advance features and a relatively high learning curve. Better to use a much simpler picture editing tool.

These days almost everyone has a mobile phone that can take video good enough for posting to youtube and other media streaming sites.
Its easy to forget that this is a useful device that can add to your blogging tool set.
Get your mobile phone out, take some video with it or photos and see how they look. It’s gotta be worth a try if you don’t have a webcam or other video camera.
Thanks for this.

I have a digital camera and a camera on my iPhone but use both as my digital camera takes more detailed photos but then my iPhone is so handy when out and about without my camera.
This is an important post for noobs to read though as it is so easy to hit the ground running then find that you have forgot some of the basics.
Thank you.
