PhotoFunia: Easy, fun photo effects in seconds
This morning I was using StumbleUpon to discover new tools, and I happened upon PhotoFunia. What fun it is! The site has a bunch of backgrounds onto which you can impose your own pictures, making it seem like people are looking at your portrait in a gallery or passing you on a billboard. 
It’s free, of course, and very, very easy to use. This video shows how I created a fun graphic in less than 50 seconds.
PagePlus: Alternative to Microsoft Publisher
An Ask Beth Z follower wrote in this morning with a quick question:
We are looking for a free program like Print Shop.
You know, the old program that would let you make cards, posters, fliers, etc…
Please Help! Thanks, Susan
Happy to help, Susan. Here’s a quick video review of PagePlus, a free alternative to Microsoft Publisher and Print Shop. These types of low-cost desktop publishing tools are great for producing quick brochures, office signs, business cards, etc. Have your own question for Your Nerdy Best Friend? Ask it now!
Webinar Recording: 5 Great Graphics Tools

in Ave Z Webinar, Beth Favorite, Free, Worth Paying For
The first Cheapskate Freelancer webinar just ended, and I have to say the webinar platform, Dimdim, did what it said it would do. I’ll post a review of Dimdim in the near future.
In the meantime, enjoy the webinar recording. I covered five great (and free!) graphics tools: Picnik, GIMP, FotoFlexer, Aviary and SignGenerator.org.
The goal of these webinars is to cover a handful of tools in 30 minutes or less. Next month’s topic coming soon!
