I also do not have your (admirable) devotion to resizing images but I spend an UNHOLY amount of time taking and editing media. I'm a weirdo who mostly does that on my phone then, then I just back up to google photos and directly upload to ze blog. I'd like to be better about gifs. Maybe I will make an effort this year. <br /><br />Probably not.

Since I also have a giant monitor attached to my laptop, the HQ photos my Samsung takes get big. Take a modified screen shot and voila! A high-res, low kb file. It works haha. And I use iMovie. It works pretty well! And yes scheduling is great! I used to do that....when I had less things to do and more content to blog about lol. But your blog is awesome!

But yeah, pretty much the same principles apply. Smaller file size = faster loading = better user experience.<br /><br />Also- coming from a photographer's point of view, while I wish all the pics on my blog were high-quality, I am SO okay with grainy zoomed in images over nothing at all. Any kind of image is going to be better than mountains of text without end- because that tends to be where I exit stage right on a blog post.Britt at Red on the Righthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199502848495130670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-12248174334619088442018-04-13T07:48:06.116-07:002018-04-13T07:48:06.116-07:00lol that's sorta the awesome/overwhelming thin...lol that's sorta the awesome/overwhelming thing about media now, right? we have so many difference sources of it - so many different little cameras and clouds and links and whatnot.... in a way it's nice to have everything so interlinked, but then it's really annoying when like, the internet goes down and we can't access any of it! anyway tho the resizing thing has been a huge difference maker for me in times of slow internet. it doesn't take much time either, just a couple extra clicks! emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932439930694780998.post-22147702269850475872018-04-13T07:45:55.408-07:002018-04-13T07:45:55.408-07:00ugh nothing annoys me worse than when blogger eats...ugh nothing annoys me worse than when blogger eats a post or gets all glitchy. alas i have no answers there... and re: time zones, mine is set to pacific despite my best efforts to fix that lol. so go figure.... emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686949099663199382noreply@blogger.com
