~OR~
Just In Case Anyone Was Wondering What I Look Like Now Since There’s Never Any Pictures Of Me (Possibly Slightly Due To My Husband’s Dependence On Me to Take Every Single Picture), Oh And Plus Another One That I Cropped Out This Woman On That I Was Quite Proud Of, Course You’ve Actually Already Seen the End Result
I lack the intelligence to understand html. Well, probably not the intelligence, just the interest. It’s incredibly boring. It’s 4:57 AM and I want a mouseover picture. Steven said it was stupid easy last night and all I needed was the html code, so I googled it this morning. Out popped, nerd page after nerd page. No problem I’ll just read one and figure it out. Holy cow, seriously these people make these blogs sooooo boring and you know some little nerd (or big nerd in my husband’s case) just gobbles this crap up. Too much effort, so here is (without mouseover of course) before and after pictures that I screwed with.

I had the perfect picture and this woman just stepped right in my way. Well I definitely had to crop her out of there, plus a little color readjustment to brighten up that red hair. Steven laughed when I showed him what I did.


Me trying to take a picture of myself, I wanted something for Facebook, since my other one was like 5 months old. It ended up looking more like a freaky flair than a profile pic though.


I asked Steven to take a picture of me, this one turned out significantly less than flattering. I had to fix it a little. I did like the color that my lips turned out. Unfortunately still not a profile pic, more like the cover of a spooky narcissistic novel.


What I actually put on my Facebook page. I’m realizing how badly I need a haircut.

BTW, the majority of the pictures I take I do not adjust as much as I did these ones.
These are great, Maria. I am truly stupid about html, etc. What did you use to adjust them? Are you saying Mouseover? or do you use something like Photoshop?
I use Photoshop or iPhoto to adjust them, just whichever I feel like at that moment in time.
Mouseover is the html thing that I don’t understand how to do. It’s when you have one picture but when you put your mouse over the image it changes to another image (I would have done that instead of putting 2 pictures up). For an example go here

and just roll your mouse over the photos and they change to another photo (albeit a very similar one).
