People have been asking me how to remedy this so they can post their images to their website. The easiest, most cost effective solution I have found is using Picasa. Picasa is an online application from Google which allows you to sort, edit, print, and upload your images to the web. The only thing I am currently using Picasa for is to compress/resize images.
There are many ways to do this, I have chosen this path because it is simple and free.

First thing you have to do is install it.
here is the link to grab the program: http://picasa.google.com/
Download and run the program.

It will ask you a couple questions, like if you want a short cut on your desktop or if you would mind sending anonymous data to Google, I usually check yes to the shortcut on my desktop and to let Picasa run after it is done installing and no to everything else. After it is done installing, when Picasa opens up, it will go through your computer looking for your pictures and sort them. When this is all done it is ready to go. There are a lot of features in Picasa but the only reason I use it is to quickly compress images for the web. When it is done installing and loading all your pictures, you can begin compressing pictures, just selct the images you want to compress, click “Export” (it is located at the bottom, and has a folder icon)

Picasa export to folder

Use the left sidebar to locate folders.

The first option in the “Export to Folder” window is “Export Location”, Picasa has automatically made a folder, but you can change this if you would like to. It will then ask you to pick the name of the exported folder. Now on to the reason we set all this up: image compression for the web. Select the “Resize to” option and pick the pixel width you would like to use. If you are not sure, go with something around 640px – 680px, you can always resize it again later. “Image quality” I usually set to “Automatic”. You can also add a watermark if you want, a watermark is either a copyright notice, or a website name, so that if other people try to use your photo, your copyright/name will be on the image. Hit the “export” button and you are good to go.
This was a quick example on how to compress your digital photos for the web, if you have any questions or suggestions please comment below.

I guess I should tell you a little about Disqus first. Disqus is a social network commenting system. You create a Disqus profile, and whenever you are logged in, you can leave a comment at any website that used Disqus to power it’s comments. By using the wordpress plugin for Disqus you still maintain control over your comments, but gain the benefits of a cleaner design and more options for your readers when leaving comments. Your readers do not have to be logged in to leave a comment, but if they are, their comment will go towards the over all amount of comments in their profile. Also, if their Disqus account is linked to Twitter or Facebook they will be able to share it there as well.

The plugin is easy to install and will integrate into your WordPress site easily. I do not recommend many WordPress plugins, but this one was made by great developers in conjunction with Disqus, so in all likelyhood will be supported and updated frequently.
It also links your account with your website, so if I leave a comment on another site, it automatically links back to my site through my username listed above the comment I left.

Download the plugin here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disqus-comment-system/

So, I used the comment section of this video to express my dissaproval of the product and to voice my humble opinion in direct a manner as possible. Well, I lost about an hour learning my new toy, when suddenly I got an email stating I had a response from my comment on the video:

@andrewjtalcott I’d say user error man, too bad for you. WATCH my video, I installed it with no problems and NO AIR BUBBLES, but I guess that’s not possible and my review just sucks. Buy bye

I was surprised by the reaction, not only for the misspellings (side-note: always check your comments for errors before putting it out there on the web, it makes you seem unprofessional at best when there are grammar/punctuation mistakes) but this guy became really defensive and came off as very childish.
This is a perfect example of how not to handle your online brand and/or your internet reputation. Even though my initial comment may of come off as me being aggravated, it was more so with the product than with the video. Also, even if I did insult him, he would of looked more professional if he handled the comment in a more adult fashion, even something along the lines of, “Sorry to hear that, I did not share the same experience” would of sounded better than what he actually wrote. My response to his comment was:

“@MrDoubled50 wow, just a difference of opinion sorry to upset you, you did have two people helping you which must of made it easier for you, no need to be snarky about it. I never said your review sucks or that it wasn’t possible, just that I had a different experience, nothing against you, just didn’t like the product.”

So, maybe I did sound a little harsh in my initial comment and my final comment could of been a little more mild, but if you want to come off as professional on your website, youtube channel, or social media page, you should try your hardest to be polite and/or respectful. People will read your words and associate them with your brand. Will I ever recommend MrDoubled50′s youtube channel to anyone? No. Will I ever watch them again? Probably not. It is a good idea to respond to comments and criticism, but doing so in a mature way will boost your credibility and brand image.

Here are some links and videos which may explain it better:
- Google’s PR post about net neutrality.
- 10 Media Takes on the Google-Verizon Net Neutrality Proposal
- MoveOn.Org Civic Action, Credo Action, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and ColorofChange.org issued a joint statement
- The savetheinternet.com coalition is two million everyday people who have banded together with thousands of non-profit organizations, businesses and bloggers to protect Internet freedom.

Here is the TYT Network discussing the Google and Verizon deal in an easily understandable way:

Here is Democracy Now discussing it a little more in depth:

On the other hand, there use of Facebook is stellar.

So kudos to Sun Chips, for utilizing “green” marketing, good use of Facebook and for coming up with something that genuinely helps the environment.

Now there is a more complicated way of doing this, which involves involving JavaScript SDK, if you don’t know what that is don’t worry, just use the iframe code above. Otherwise, go to this link: Facebook JavaScript SDK. Using the Javascript SDK method gives you the ability to use FBML (facebook markup language) on your site. This in turn will allow more integrated functionality between your site and Facebook. I will be posting more about this in the future, stay tuned.
