Crop Pictures Right in WordPress

Posted by John Saddington on Nov 20, 2008

So, you don’t have a million-bajillion dollars to spend on Photoshop.  Cool.  That’s ok because you can actually do simple cropping of images right in WordPress!

Did you know that?  Check this very quick vid of how you too can be a picture-ninja with your blogs, because we all know that blogs that have pictures are blogs that are cool.

… I mean, you should have pictures in your entries because it makes it pretty… or maybe a thumbnail or two.

Scissors is the answer!  A simple and easy plugin for WordPress.  Go download it and let me know that you are a rockstar now.

K?  Cool.

    Okay, so correct me if I am wrong because I would love to know how to blog while I am offline, but I thought that you had to be online when accessing your blog's admin section (e.g. manage posts, write posts, etc.). You mentioned in the video that this would be a nice plugin if people were not connected to the Internet (and as such could not use Picnik, photoshop online, etc.). Let me know. I am definitely interested.

    As for the plugin, I bet a lot of people could benefit from this plugin It is cheaper than purchasing Photoshop and it is easier than having to get a membership at another site. Just plugin and go. :)

    Sweet! I look forward to reading that post. Not that I need that capability all that often, but it would be nice to have just in case.

    Skitch is an amazing free Mac utility.. Let me know what you think once you've had a chance to mess around with it.

    That is a pretty cool plugin… I'll have to add it to my list for instances where I've already uploaded an image. However, if you're a Mac user try Skitch. This app lets you capture, crop, resize, compress and then drag directly to your desktop or a folder all in one smooth process. There's also free image hosting and the option to upload directly to your site via ftp. This is one app I open every day. And it's free!
