watermarks

A couple of days ago I came across a kind of travel/lifestyle website and saw that someone had uploaded some photos from my tapas blog without crediting them or linking back. Which reminded me of something I’ve been thinking of doing for awhile now, which is to start watermarking my photos.

I’ve been looking around for some free (or cheap) watermarking tools or software. The one shown above is a free online watermark tool but, although I can watermark photos in batches with it, afterwards I have to copy each photo to my computer individually, which is a lot of work. Especially as I want to replace ALL the pics on my tapa blog with watermarked ones.

Any suggestions?

Arte y Pico Award

Wow, it’s my second blogging award in a week! This one was presented to me by Mr Salsa Picante himself, the very saucy Frontier Former Editor. And now it’s my turn to pass it on to five others who will then pass it on to five others, and so on (including the list at the bottom).

So without further ado I shall now present this award to the following unique and creative blogs:

*[note: I’ve added a sixth very deserving recipient as Archie ended up receiving this award twice]

1) You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award, creativity, design, interesting material, and also contrubutes to the blogger community, no matter of language.
2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3) Each award-winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award.
4) Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y pico” blog , so everyone will know the origin of this award.
5) To show these rules.
