[New post] Instantly share posts on Tumblr

New post on WordPress.com News Instantly share posts on Tumblr by Justin Shreve The second you publish a new post on WordPress.com, you can instantly share it on Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, LinkedIn, and now Tumblr with a feature called Publicize. This helps you get exposure to multiple audiences without having to manually share your content on all your favorite social sites. With Publicize, you can make WordPress.com your home on the web and automatically share your content on five other social platforms. By publishing to WordPress.com, you maintain ownership of your content, which you can choose to export at any time. To activate Publicize for Tumblr, head over to Settings → Sharing in your dashboard and click Connect to Tumblr. You can select from any of your Tumblr blogs once your account is connected. After you have connected, your new posts will be shared on Tumblr and no other action is needed. Example of a publicized Tumblr post. We also have a Tumblr sharing button you may not have seen, which can be displayed at the bottom of your posts and pages. With this enabled, your readers can share your posts on their own Tumblr blogs quickly and easily. Visit your Settings → Sharing panel to enable this under the "Sharing Buttons" section. As part of our updates we have removed Messenger Connect as a supported service and have centralized Publicize options under Settings → Sharing. Need help? Read more about how Publicize works.

[New post] A Little Boost to Your Photos and Galleries

New post on WordPress.com News A Little Boost to Your Photos and Galleries by Andrew Ozz If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a digital photo is worth even more. All digital cameras embed extra information in each photo --- things like camera make and model, date and time the photo was taken, focal length of the lens, shutter speed, etc. We're happy to announce two new features on WordPress.com for digital photos that will take advantage of your digital photo's EXIF information! Automatic Rotation From now on JPEG images will be rotated automatically after uploading according to the camera's original orientation. No more manually rotating all those portrait photos! What's more, the rotation is "lossless" and preserves all embedded information in the image file (the JPEG image format is "lossy", meaning that each time the image is edited, some of the fine color nuances may be lost). In short: your photos' orientation/rotation is automatic and their image quality is preserved 100%! Gallery Sorting There are two new sorting options for galleries: Image Date/Time and Upload Order. These additional sort options are also available for previously-published galleries, offering you more fine control on how you display your images on your WordPress.com site. Have you ever inserted a Gallery in a post or page? Get started with Galleries. The Gallery Settings dialog Both of these new features depend on the EXIF data saved in the JPEG image files, so if you edit your photos before uploading, make sure the software you use preserves that data. So, upload few photos, create a gallery or edit an existing gallery and let us know what you think in the comments. Need photography inspiration? Check out the Photography topic in the WordPress.com Reader!

[New post] Photo Blogging 101, Part 3

New post on WordPress.com News Photo Blogging 101, Part 3 by Erica V. Beyond developing your photo blog and cultivating devoted followers, how can you take your phlog to the next level? Here's a few extra resources that can help you along the way. Stay Organized Using categories to divide your photographs by type is a great way to make it easier for visitors to navigate your site, especially as your portfolio of images continues to grow. For example, as you categorize photos as "Travel" or "Black and White," you can then add those category pages to your site's navigation bar. If you're using your photo blog to generate business as a photographer, this means that someone who's looking for some black and white images can easily take a look at your gallery of black and white photos. This guide explains how to add categories to your post, and you can follow these steps to add those category pages to your site's menu. When displaying a series of photos, you'll see that there are a handful of options for inserting them into your post: slideshow, gallery, and individual images. If you're adding a large amount of photos to a single post, you may want to consider using the gallery option. Too many photos on the front page can cause a slow load time for visitors. By loading your posts as thumbnails first, visitors get the full effect of the breadth and variety of your photographs at a single glance. If you're looking for feedback, visitors can comment directly on your photo by clicking on the "Permalink" button in the gallery carousel. When uploading multiple photos to your post, don't forget to use our Drag and Drop uploader so that you can upload multiple files at the same time. This will even allow you to drag a group of photos from your computer directly into the upload area. Become a Curator When working on a series, curate your content so that you can focus on the quality of your photos, not quantity. This means hand selecting the best photos in your series, rather than posting all of them at once to get as much out there as possible. When choosing images to include in your photo gallery, consider the following: An example of the Rule of Thirds (photo by Bryan Villarin). The rule of thirds: When cropping your photos, try using the "rule of thirds" for more visually interesting photos. The rule of thirds is a compositional guideline that proposes photographs should be able to be divided into nine equal parts by two horizontal and two vertical lines. The main elements of the picture should fall along or at the intersections of these lines. In the photo to the right, the primary focus of the picture—the two red chairs—are positioned at the lower-right intersection of the grid and the horizon falls along the top vertical line. Stay sharp: When choosing a photo to include in your post, you'll want to prioritize images that are vibrant and clear. A photo that is blurry or faded isn't as captivating as a sharp, bold image. Don't be afraid to edit: Cropping your photos to maximize the focus or remove conflicting elements from the subject, playing with filters, and tweaking the colors (including white balance) on your photo can help to polish the edges on your favorite shot. Be aware of repetition: While you may have a ton of great photos in your series, do try to highlight images that are unique and distinct from each other. Four strong, individual photographs are more visually interesting than 10 slightly different stills. Resources There are a lot of great options out there for image editing tools. Since we're big fans of all things open source at WordPress.com and Automattic, you may be interested in GIMP and Seashore, two open source image editing programs. Our very own Sara Rosso has a great tutorial on getting started with GIMP and Bryan Villarin has some excellent tips on creating better photos without expensive equipment.
