Instagram

The book I read to research this post was 100 Instagram Tips, Tricks & Secrets by Andrew MacCarthy which is a very good book which I bought from kindle. I think now Instagram goes by a different name which is 2 Insta With Love but if you do a search in the app store on your smartphone for Instagram you should find it. Instagram lets you take photos on your smartphone, do simple editing and upload it on to social networking sites like Facebook & Weebly. I think it would also work with this site Wordpress but it might be worth seeking out the Wordpress app for your smartphone as well. As you can imagine this book has lots of advice about using Instagram. For example they recommend taking photos in a 3rd party application specifically for taking photos and importing a copy into Instagram. They also recommend using a photo editing app like Photoshop Express for some of your editing. When you are composing a picture you should divide it in to 3 both across and down and check the composition is balanced out. You should take photos from a slight angle to make them more interesting. A site they recommend if you are uploading pictures on to social networking sites is a statistics site which tells you things like your most popular photos. It's at http://statigr.am/ .It's called statigram. Another site which lets you convert your pictures in to fridge magnets for $14.99 for 9 is at http://stickygram.com.
