Remember all the fun you had with Flickr and images? Well, since this is a play exercise, let’s have even more fun with images! This time, we’re going to learn about image generators. Image generators allow you to easily manipulate images and graphics into fun stuff like the ones you see here.
For this discovery exercise, just have fun! Find a few fun image or text generators to play around with and write a post in your blog about one of your favorites and display the result. Often adding the image you mocked up to your blog is as simple as copying and pasting code that the page provides. If not, you may just need to right click on the image and then save it to your hard drive before using WordPress’s image button to add it to your post.
If you’re having difficulty getting your image added to a post in your blog, ask a co-worker for help. In looking at several of the staff blogs, it’s easy to see that we have lots of wls learners who have figured out how easy it is to add images to their blogs.
