Good morning guys, this is @bait002 the founder of the offline minnow school where minnows are mentored and groomed. It has been a difficult period these last few days but I'm glad I still got some time to squeeze in posts just to complete this series. This is the second to the last post where I'll wrap it all up. The golden maxim through this blogging series remains;

write as though you have a reputation to protect because, you truly do...

What to expect in this series

  • where to find images.
  • how to select good images.
  • technical aspect relating to format and web compatibility.
  • legal issues about images.
  • Lastly, some additional tools to use.

Tools that can help you with your blog’s images and photos

  1. Adobe Photoshop
    This is the most used image or photo editing application for experienced and advanced users. Usually they user to be very expensive. However, they now have nice yearly options ready for download.

  2. Word Swag
    Word Swag is an application for your android or apple phone and it enables or allows you to easily add cool text in a stylish manner to your photos and quickly share to social media or blogs.

  3. imgur
    Imgur is a a social network site with amazing and hillarious images but it is also an easy option for storing and uploading images if you need some more space and it is also free to use.

  4. Digital Photography School
    I'm sure you've heard about the biggest photo website the world has so far. This is Darren Rowse’s creation. Contains excellent teachings and tutorials that would enhance your image creation processes.

  5. Fiverr
    This is a good place to get graphical works, paintings, cool images and other artistic illustrations; not free per say but at affordable rates.

The next post will contain four other tools and we'll be done with this series. It's been a really busy period for me and got a lot of things to do at the same time.

Thank you very much for following up this far. I'm am Bait and I am bringing words from the offline minnow school.

For those who seek to know what this project is all about, you can read that below;

PHASE 1:

At this stage we teach some minnows a,t our offline classroom to help attain self-sustenance. These minnows will then work with us as a team, reproducing other minnows. Currently, we have just wrapped up with Phase 1. And Phase 2 which is more demanding kicked off already.

PHASE 2:

This basically is the core of the vision is to raise steem-backed entrepreneurs of young people. The method through which we execute the absolute idea goes as follows;

  • SKILL ACQUISITION PROJECTS: where various skills will be taught to foster the emergence of new entrepreneurs that thrive on voluntarism.

  • THE MINNOW SCHOOL TALENT HUNT: we greatly hope to give minnows who are not really writers but have other gifts such as singing, painting, dancing, acting a platform to express themselves and get their creativity beyond their minds. Basically, we are giving these young people a voice and ultimately awaken the writer in them.

  • THE MINNOW SCHOOL ART/MUSIC EXHIBITIONS: here talented young people will get to showcase their talents and the value they have to offer to the community. We will be sponsoring art projects and professional music careers will emerge with this.
