 See, I pretty much stayed within it and just changed a few little things and made it my own. Here's another example of an e-book. So this was the template and I took that template, put my words in it, I changed the font, put my own picture in it, and now I have an e-book cover really fast. You can do these in like 10, 15 minutes. So compare that. There's nothing wrong with hiring people. I'm all game for hiring professionals. Absolutely. But when you want to do things kind of quickly, you're working ideas out, you know, you might put your e-book out or you might be doing this for a client and then they're changing the title and all that. So Canada's really, really nice to work with and you can find that at canva.com. So they have e-book covers, flyers, all different kinds of layouts that you can use. So I love Canada. Here's some other online image creators and editors. iPicky, Pixlr, VFunky, Photor, PicMonkey. iPicky is good for resizing images if you don't have Photoshop. How many people don't have Photoshop? There's a few. So these are other tools you can use. All right, so I'm up to number six of my seven tips to give you today and this one is speeding up your images with a content delivery network. Now I talked about making your site load faster by reducing it in terms of size so it wasn't so heavy. This is one more thing you can do and this is at the hosting level. So it's sort of a step outside of WordPress. And the way a CDN works is this is where your hosting company server is and you've got people all over the globe looking at your site. The idea is for your hosting company to have these edge servers, sort of these other computers around the world, so that here I've got a close up. So let's say your hosting company's on the east coast, but you've got someone in Europe looking at your site, without a CDN it's going to take a lot longer for them to get to your site. With a CDN, then the hosting company has this edge server. Now it's going to run faster. So this is kind of that little thing to do after you've sort of done everything else to make your site run faster. And so the benefits of using a CDN is faster loading time, Google likes fast sites. Better user experience, people aren't frustrated. I mean how many of you have gone to a site and you've seen like something low really slowly? And it's extra security in case one server goes down. Now that's kind of a little techie behind the scenes, but it does help you out. Here are some resources for you for a CDN. Cloudflare, they have a free and paid version. I've used Cloudflare and Jetpack Photon. If you use the Jetpack plugin and you have Photon enabled, what Jetpack does is it stores all your images on their server. And so it loads them up faster. So you can do it with Jetpack. Max CDN, Key CDN, Amazon Cloudfront. This is more for developers I've heard. I have not used these, but my research, these are good ones to go with. And again you'll get the slides at the end. But Cloudflare, when I turned that on, my site definitely went faster. So you want to think about that. Okay, and then sort of winding up here, I have some more image plugins and other handy tools for you, and then I'll take questions. Image gallery plugins. Now some themes come with image galleries, sort of built in. And there's a default WordPress image gallery, which I've never used because I've not found it very useful. But Pooh Gallery is a really nice one. It's easy to use, has really good documentation. I know Matt Cromwell, who spoke this morning, he was involved in this project and really nice galleries for pictures. Here's another fun one called Draw Attention. And they have a free and a paid version. Oh, and Pooh Gallery is also free. And the way this works, and this is a plugin that wouldn't apply to everybody. But if you have a site where you want to draw the outlines of a shape, so it's great for blueprints. And when the visitor visits and mouses over, each shape kind of highlights, so they mouse over the A, so you want that floor plan or B, you want that floor plan. It can either click to take you to a page or the plugin can have something pop up with more information. So this is really handy if you want to have an image on your site and you want to draw, you draw the outlines, you tell the plugin, if they click in this region, then do something. It's a really cool plugin. It's called Draw Attention. You can just go to the WordPress.org and you can find that one. Now my other two tips are for browser extensions. So these browser extensions are your friend. And this one is Colorzilla. I use this all the time. And the way this works is once you install it on your browser, so on Chrome, Firefox, I think it also works on Safari, you get this little eye dropper. And then when you go to a site, either your site or somebody else's site, you click on that and the eye dropper comes up and it will tell you exactly what color it is. So this is really amazing. So if I'm going to make a graphic and I found this image from stock photography or my own, I will pick a color off of it and then use it in the image. So people's eyes like to see colors complimenting. And also it's like, gee, what's a gold? How can I come up with a gold? You just mouse over it. And then C gives you the color in the hex and the RGB and the hue saturation and value. So it is really, really handy. And it could be maybe go to somebody else's site. Maybe you're like, I'm going to build a site and I don't know what colors to use. Hey, this other site's doing a good job with colors. Let's see what colors they're using. And there's nothing wrong with being inspired by other sites. You're just looking for colors. So I use it for my own site and then I use it for others. Or maybe a designer made you a logo and you don't know what the color was the designer used. You don't want to bother calling them. You can just use this and find out what the color is. And then my last one is Page Ruler. This is a browser extension. It is free. And once you add it to your browser, then you click on this little ruler and you can click and drag and find out the sizes of anything on your site. So maybe you want to measure if you have a sidebar. You want to measure how big that is to know how big your images should be. Or you want to measure the height of something or what was the size of this logo. You turn it on. You get this grid. You click and drag and it will give you the dimensions. So this is another really, really handy thing. All right, so let me give you my recap of what I talked about today. Number one, finding images with rights from your stock photo sites making sure you have the correct rights that you know, either you have to give credit or not give credit. Sizing your images for dimensions and then heaviness, how heavy it is. So you size it to the right dimension then compress it so it's as light as possible. Organizing your images in your media library so you can find stuff later. Number four was leveraging the featured image for social sharing and for your site how it shows up on your site. Number five was create professional graphics with Canva.com. Definitely later this weekend go open a Canva.com account. Speeding up your images with a CDN and Content Delivery Network and using WordPress plugins and some of these other tools. Check them out and see if they'll work for you. And always, always have fun. Be like this little girl. Be playful. You know, images really unleash creativity. They draw people in and they just make your site. Everybody says wow when they go to your site. My name is Christina Hills. You can find me on Twitter at Christina Hills. Email me Christina at website creationworkshop.com and I know I gave a lot of resources. I will have the presentation available at website creationworkshop.com and I am ready to take I only downloaded and uploaded and here's why. So the question was what if you have your images in the cloud like Google images, right? And do you want to get them into your WordPress site? Did I have an easy way to do an integration? And the answer is no because I've done things like that before and I've done things like that before and not realizing that my because you can't, right, let me back up. You can, when you're putting an image in instead of putting it in from the media library you can get the full URL. Does everybody know what I'm talking about? So I've done that before. I'm like well I own this site and I own this site and I'm just going to be lazy and I'm not going to bring it in because it's over on this other site so I'll just get the full URL. And then years go by and I decide to take that site down or you decide to remove it from Google Photos because you didn't realize you were using it. So that's why if I'm using it on my site I pull it into the media library because I've had it happen more than once than I deleted a site and now my images are gone. I'm going to talk about it on the line but I still want to have it in the media library and I want to have it on the site server so just facilitating that I'm going to be lazy so just facilitating that 28.5% of your cloud to be your server. So he says how could we facilitate getting it from the cloud to your server? There might be a plugin just like the Pixabay plugin and the Unsplash plugin they actually pull it into your media library so maybe there's a Google Photos plugin I haven't looked for that but that's possible that exists. Anybody else? So as you're going through you keep emphasizing uploading images within the WordPress. What about the things that you use over and over and over again that aren't just on one specific page like a logo or the same block of content or something like that? Do you actually create a separate file folder within all of your media that it's like these are the go-to things that you use over and over again or are you actually uploading it each time within each thing? In my site, if I use the logo 10 times in the site I'm only uploading it once so it's only once in the media library. Does that answer your question? So for one website websitecreationworkshop.com I have my media library and I have a photo of me. I also have pristinehills.com that same photo I'll upload into that other site but if I use my picture multiple times within a website I'm not uploading it again and again and again. Now, when I showed you all those logos they were actually different versions of the logo in my slides. They weren't the same logo or my client accidentally was doing it too many times so you don't want multiples of the same thing. That's true. You don't want multiples of the same thing. Thank you.
