Aviary, Image Insert and Editing Options for Bloggers.
Bloggers would often like to insert images in to their blogs to make them more catchy and attractive. In addition Google likes images and an ALT Tagged description on images can provide lots of juice for Google to rank your content up there in the search results. But that is not the only reason which acts as some sort of encourages blogger community to add images or videos in to their posts. Sometimes the content is like that only which makes it imperative for bloggers to explain the content graphically. But taking a screen-shot through print screen is tedious task as one has to then copy the content in some other graphics software and make some fine adjustments either through cropping or some other image enhancement features.
There are many options available today. Some are offline and some are online. But majority of options involve repetitive tasks. The offline options that we have today are GIMP, MS Paint, Paint.Net etc. Topping the list of online editing graphic software are Flickr and Aviary. I have been using both Flickr and Aviary for quite some time now. Though Flickr is quite rich in terms of kinds of images it has in its repository but Aviary scores in the editing options. In additions, images can also be hosted online in Aviary and URLs can be used to link and display the images in the posts. Same options are available with Flickr but taking screenshots and then arriving at your desired cropped image portion can be done in no time with Aviary. Aviary also has Effect and Color tools which are still in Beta but are quite rich in features.
