Adding a watermark/logo to your photos in one click


Adding a watermark/logo to your photos in one click

Ok, here goes!

What you will need:

- your logo
- a photo
- imaging software eg. photoshop


Firstly....

The way I do this process is to add the logo at the very last step before you post it on the net. So when you add the logo, you will have already re-sized, edited and processed the photo to your liking.
So the way I will describe how do to this is by having a photo that is already re-sized and processed, which will then require my logo as the final step.
So hopefully, by the end of this tutorial, you will be able to add your own logo with just one click of your mouse! 

Your Logo

Many of you have your own personal logo. For the purpose of this tutorial, I will be using the logo as shown below in the final image:

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 750x502.




Step One:

If you are confident that you can make your own logo in a PSD or you already have one, you can skip this step (but you may as well read it for the hell of it!!)

So firstly, I made my logo out of two lines of text as shown below: (note the two text layers in the layers tab on the right)
(Also, ignore my actions, they are my already made actions and DO NOT relate to this tutorial)


This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 932x593.



Next you will want to transfer the logo (both lines of text) to a new window. Open a new window, (which will comfortably fit the logo in) and select the Move Tool (V). After selecting the two lines of text (in my case) you can simply drag the logo from the image window to your new window. You should see a plus sign when you drag onto the new window.

If like me, you made your logo out of white text, you probably wont see anything in the new window (assuming your background colour is white!) So we have to delete the background layer. You will have to do this anyway, as you want a transparent background against your logo, so when you transfer the logo onto the photo, you wont transfer the background too.

So select the new window you created (which should now have your logo in too) and right-click on the background layer --> Delete.





Just to tidy it up a bit, you can crop tightly around your logo. (Crop Tool = C)


This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 795x545.



For simplicity later on, you should combine both layer of text into one layer. To do this select both layers of text, and right-click --> Convert to Smart Object.

Next, save your logo. Preferably as a PSD file. Advantages of saving in this format are:
1) You can edit the file if you wish
2) No quality loss due to compression etc.

So by now you should have your pre-made logo, and a photo (RE-SIZED) you wish to add the logo onto 

This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 932x556.







Step Two

Ok, so know we get to creating the action for adding the logo onto the photo.
But first, a quick tip for quickly opening your logo via an action.

Click 'Create New Action'





Name it something along the lines of.....'Open Logo', then click Record.
Photoshop is now recording what you do, so get it right the first time!

Go File --> Open (Ctrl + O)
Navigate to your LOGO.psd file.
Click Open
Click Stop Recording (as shown below)





So now, if you close your LOGO file, then click on the Open Logo action, then click Play - your logo file should open. So now you dont have to navigate to your logo file everytime you want to add a logo.

Ok, so now you will need to create a new action. Name it Insert Logo (or something similar), and click Record.

Firstly, select the logo window. The action should have updated with a new entry called 'Select Next Window'

Next, select the entire logo layer (Ctrl + A), then Copy this layer (Ctrl + C).

By now your action script should look like this:


This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 932x687.



Next, Select the image window (this is important, as the action needs to know which window the logo will be copied into)

Paste the logo into the window (Ctrl + V). Your logo SHOULD now appear in the centre of your photo.


This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 932x717.



The next step is to TRANSFORM your logo into the correct position on the photo. NOTE: DO NOT just drag the logo into position. This will not be recorded in the action script, so you have to use the transform tool.

Select the transform tool (Ctrl + T). A grid should appear around your logo.
Now drag the logo into the desired position.


This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 932x714.


Then click the green tick at the top of photoshop:





The action should update to recognise the move.
Click Stop (square icon)

The action script should look similar to this:





AND THAT'S IT!!

So now, if you open a new photo and resize it, you should only have to click on the new action and your logo will magically appear in the correct postion with just one click!

NOTE: For the action to work, the logo.psd file MUST be open, as you have reference to that file specifically in the script.

I did my best to explain this, it's pretty hard to work out which parts need the most attention. I have assumed the user has a fairly adequate knowledge of photoshop already 


Have fun, and I hope that has helped at least one person! 
The sun is shining (for the moment!), so I'm going out for a nice long bike ride!

How Sites get top search engine position and how those with top search engine ranking do not pay for it.


n the next 10 pages, I will explain how you can achieve top non-paid, non-sponsored search engine results and appear in the first pages of search results.
I will also explain why non-paid results are the results you want, demystify many of the myths about how and why Sites and pages achieve high position, and explain how your Site can appear at or near the top of search engine rankings the real way - without silly top position tricks that can be risky and do not really work for the long term anyway.
This 10 page article will help you to learn how to 'think' about search engine optimization, but cannot tell you specifically how to do it since each case is different.

Top 10 Ways to Increase Visitors to your Blog


Top 10 Ways to Increase Visitors to your Blog


By: Usman Nadeem
I am going to share with you the many secrets which I have used to not only direct traffic but keep traffic visiting my blog.
For me getting back into web development after many years on hiatus was a sobering experience.  Gone were the days of easy traffic due to the fact that the competition has increased by a number so great I can’t even wrap my head around it.  A lot of the competition are in the form of spam blogs which take popular content from other blogs and republish it as their own by changing just a few words.  The market is diluted in most cases and trying to make a living running a single website is near impossible unless you have a very specific and unique niche.
For me, taking on the “Nerd World” of computers, video games, RPGs, and Sci-Fi TV shows was brutal.  My niche is ultra diluted with massive amounts of blogs just trying to drive content with poorly written stories and on the other side the big guns with their massive audiences garnered through backing by powerful tycoons.  Because of this I have had to learn the hard way how to get a blog up and off the ground.  I have dedicated the past few months of my life almost entirely to NERD TREK, barely getting any sleep and still I struggle.  I have come a LONG way from where I started though, and I will spill the secrets on how I did this and how you too can become successful at blogging.  Well, let’s get straight to it, shall we?
Tip #1: Before you drive traffic
Before you drive traffic to your blog you want to make sure everything is perfect.  Give your friends your URL to the new blog and don’t tell them anything about it- not even the name.  Just ask them to do you a favor and visit the blog and then email or call you with feedback.  I guarantee they will have a LOT to say.  Don’t ignore them, your friends are giving you very valuable advice and you should log it all away until you collect all the feedback.  You don’t have to act on every suggestion, but if you say “Yeah, I did notice that but thought it would be OK… and it’s a lot of coding to change…” CHANGE IT!  Change it now before thousands of people stumble upon a weird glitch or unslightly error in code that makes your blog appear less than professional.  You want everything to be perfect before you launch, this includes content.  Take your friends advice and run with it, improve anything and everything.  You will never stop improving.  I still spend about 20 hours a week just tweaking things on my blog to make them better.  Just don’t change your header or anything that makes your blog familiar after becoming established.  You want people to recognize your header, your favicon, and your image.
Tip #2: Content is King
You must write killer articles to spearhead your unknowing victims and keep them visiting your blog in the future.  Make sure you provide content you would want to read.  I try and grab things that make me excited like a new video game, movie, or computer news and give my take on that.  I keep is personal and know that some people may agree and some may disagree.  Regardless of which it is they will still read the article if they are passionate about it and are actually more likely to comment if on the radical side of either spectrum.  If you ever saw the movie “Private Parts” they said that half of Howard Sterns audience listens because they like him and the other half listens because they hate him.  The most common answer when asked why they listened was “I wanted to see what he’ll say next.”  That was both the pro and con sides!  That alone shows you that no matter where you stand on your articles you’ll benefit more from taking a stand than just sitting there quoting other material you found on the internet.  My most viewed articles are the ones where I get passionate and personal.  I’ve been told my friends and co-workers that those posts are by far their favorite.  Don’t be afraid to let the content flow and let it flow often, a blog can quickly become sterile.  If I don’t post for 2-3 days I lose dozens of email subscribers and my visits take a HUGE plummet.
Tip #3: Social Networking is in, USE IT!
Sites like Facebook and Twitter are not just for keeping up on what your friends are doing, they are for meeting new friends and connecting with people passionate about the same things you are.  This is called NETWORKING!  This is something larger businesses do to a degree, but you have something going for you that they don’t- you’re small time and personal.  You’re probably running your blog alone or with a handful of friends.  You can take the time to get to know new people on Facebook and Twitter and refer them to your articles.  Honestly, some of the people I met on Facebook have already influenced me or were long time heroes of mine.  Most of the staff from TSR and Wizards of the Coast who worked on various versions of Dungeons and Dragons are now my friends and I highly enjoy reading their posts on Facebook and enjoying their pictures.  They too are sometimes interested in my articles and even Monte Cook commented and shared one of my blog posts regarding the upcoming Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim game!  When I started on Facebook I had around 50 friends of which were personal friends who wanted to support NERD TREK.  Then I started branching out and adding friends at Wizards through my friend’s connections (he was a cartographer and illustrator there- 3 time ENnie Award winner as well).  The list grew and then people started adding me.  Before I knew it I was at 600 friends!  When I would share a new post of my blog on Facebook I would reach out to 600 people!  If only 10% checked out the post that’s 60 hits!  Not bad!  Today my friends number around 800 and new people ask to be added everyday.  If you want to be a friend just search for NERD TREK on Facebook and there we are!  :)   Twitter is equally as easy and one of the biggest secrets there is a program called TWEET ADDER.  At first I was quite skeptical and thought it might be a scam, but this program really works and helps you reach out to a similar audience in your niche.  I’ll explain more about how that works if someone would like, just ask me on the NERD TREK FORUM and we’ll continue the conversation there. I’ll provide a link to the Tweet Adder website so you can check it out for yourself. If you decide to purchase please let them know that NERD TREK referred you and we will both obtain a price break.

Tip #4: Don’t be afraid to promote your blog!
Ask your friends to tell their friends, post in forums, on other blogs, on facebook, twitter, myspace, anywhere you can!  Don’t be afraid of backlash- there are always complainers and jerks out there and that’s just something you’ll have to live with.  Don’t spam people, but inform people about your blog.  What do you have to offer?  What are your newest articles?  What do you have that the next blog doesn’t?

Tip #5: Reply to comments ASAP
If someone posts a comment make sure you have a system setup to notify you on your mobile and respond IMMEDIATELY.  Readers are 10 times more likely to return and tell others if they feel appreciated and respected.  I make it a point to go above and beyond for my readers in hopes that they stick around.  I’m not making much money off my readers, but I want them to come back because this is my blog and I’m proud of it.  Plus if they keep coming back and their friends keep coming back and so on- I will eventually make some money.  The ultimate goal would be to blog from home would it not?  I sure would love that.  I would write and respond all day on all things “nerdy” in a heartbeat!
Tip #6: Create a system which generates Keywords for SEO
SEO means Search Engine Optimization- something you’ll want your website to be ready for.  If you’re running WordPress try programs like SEO Keywords, SEO Searchterms2, and SEO Ultimate.  There are a ton of other programs out there to help you with SEO, and at the very least you should be listing your keywords at the bottom of each post.  Although it looks a little silly, those keywords that are links at the bottom of my posts help drive up my rank on Google which in turn increases my visitors which also helps my status.
Tip #7: Start a Forum
Start a forum so that avid users who constantly comment on your posts have a place to call home.  Although it is very difficult to get people to comment and even harder to have them post in a forum, it is something that is better to setup in advance so that it is available when needed.  Help prepare your forum by creating some topics and posting in them yourself.  Post content that is useful that people often search online for.  Make sure it is in your niche and link it to your blog and your blog to it.
Tip #8: Create an Email List/RSS Feed
The easiest way to do this is to use a WORDPRESS install linked to a simple RSS feed at Feedburner.  It’s free, sent daily, and run by Google so it’s stable.  Users can opt to sign up via email or RSS, whichever they prefer.  Then when your posts go out they reach a wider audience.
Tip #9: Run a Contest
Make sure you research the legalities behind this, but one of the best ways to get extra traffic is to run a contest.  Use some of the revenue generated through ads to buy something- say a Xbox 360 and a game.  Then take some high res pictures of it, spice it up with some colorful text and display a contest on your site that people can sign up for by agreeing to be a part of your email list.  This will increase your visitors, spread your name, and grow your email list which is one of the most important parts of a successful blog.  Even if you lose your website, facebook, twitter, and everything else you can always retain your email list and start over.  If you don’t have an email list you are starting from scratch should you lose anything along the way.
Tip #10: Be honest
By being honest you will create a good trustworthy name.  This is a lot harder to do and takes a lot longer than creating a spam site that generates huge traffic for instant profit, but in the long run is much more successful and reliable.  You will obtain the most loyal fans this way and you’ll sleep better at night knowing you’re doing the best you can.  Everyday I try and remind myself that the best way to write articles is when they come naturally and I am honest and helpful to my readers.  Instead of posting a million useless posts I would rather take my time and give you something worthwhile in hopes that the information helps you.
Thank you for visiting and I hope this information at least helped give you some ideas on ways to increase your web traffic.  If you have any questions or comments please do so below and visit us on Facebook.

The Psychology of the Suicide Bomber


By Usman Nadeem
It would be an understatement to say that the escalating wave of suicide bombings in Pakistan is an acute threat to peace and a critical concern to the authorities. This aberrant social attitude towards death, destruction and opposition to authority can be very contagious among the mass and mimetic illiterate of a country who will start to believe that the only way of out unrest, anarchy and dissatisfaction with the administration is to create more chaos. The latest weapon in hand is suicide bombings and they are growing at an alarming rate.

Connect Two Windows 7 Computers On LAN Using Ethernet Cable


Connect Two Windows 7 Computers On LAN Using Ethernet Cable

There are times when you want to transfer your important files and documents from one computer to another. Especially, if you are to manage multiple computers on your home network or a workgroup, transferring files between them becomes tedious. Though you can use the following alternatives to transfer data.
1. The mostly used media to transfer files or documents is removable disk (USB drive). But the drawback of the removable media is that if you want to transfer a large amount of data, you need to divide that in various part as the total data would not fit in the limited space of your USB drive. It is also slow comparatively with the hard disk.
2. You can use Dropbox to sync files across multiple computers. Dropbox is a great tool but it is useless with out an internet connection.
Hence, you should use a fast, reliable and all time available way. One of the best choice to transfer files between two Windows computers is connecting them with an Ethernet cable.
The Ethernet cable is nothing but a simple cable connected with RJ45 clips at both ends. Bu it comes with two different configuration.
1. Straight-through cable.
2. Crossover cable.
You can see the configuration diagram of both types from the following image.
Where the crossover cable can be used only for file transferring, the straight-through cable can be used in various purposes.
Here I will discuss how to connect two Windows computers on LAN though an Ethernet crossover cable and how to transfer files, folders, videos, pictures, images etc. between them.

Create a Home network using an Ethernet crossover cable

Things that you’ll need:
1. A crossover or straight-through cable. This time I am using the crossover cable.
2. Supported network card in both computer.
3. Both of the computers should have the Ethernet driver installed in it.

Configuring the computers

Below are the steps involved in configuring your computer to connect them on a LAN using Ethernet cable.
Step 1. In order to start the connection, you’ll have to assign different IP address for both computers. To change the IP address of your computers for the LAN connection, you should make changes in the LAN adapter settings.
  • Open Control panel from the start menu and click on Network and Internet and click onNetwork and Sharing center.
  • From the left sidebar, click on Change adapter settings.
  • Under the Network connections window select the appropriate icon for your LAN adapter and right-click on it, then choose Properties.
  • Local Area Connection Properties box appears.
  • Under the Network tab select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on theProperties button.
  • Now set the addresses as mentioned below in each computer and click OK.
At the first computer ( say, Computer 1):
IP address:       192.168.0.1
Subnet mask:  255.255.255.0
At the second computer ( say, Computer 2):
IP address:       192.168.0.2
Subnet mask:  255.255.255.0
Step 2. Now, connect one end of the cable into the Ethernet port of Computer 1 and the other end with the same of the Computer 2 and apply the following steps in both the computers.
  • Right-click on Computer from the start menu and select Properties.
