This blog is another step on the learning curve for me.  LightRoom has 14 possible steps for converting raw files to jpegs!  I went into my LR (LightRoom) "Collections" library and picked the set with the baby because it had only four files, and I much like them.  With the LR book set up on a stand next to me, I carefully tried to follow directions.  The option came up of where to store the converted files- in the folder on the external hard drive where the original raw files are, or in a special folder created on my desktop.  Though fraught with more peril I went for the original folder on the external drive. 

Also, I wanted to see if the copywrite watermarks I created would show up in my photos.  In the past I haven't been able to get them in.  They are my name in the lower left corner of the photos.  They're different because I created two versions- so I tried one in the baby pics and the other in the flower pics.   I converted and downloaded the flower pics into this blog for the practise and because I wanted to compare the watermarks.   Anyone have thoughts about one or the other?

I wanted to run the text down the side of the three baby pics (similar to what I did in the previous blog) but it keeps jumping me down to the top of the pic below.  If I did it once I'm sure I'll figure out how to do it again.

The other thing I wanted to learn was could I easily rearrange the photos when I had then loaded into the blog?  Thankfully it is easily done (at least this time.)  I can just click and hold on a photo and then drag it up or down and drop it where I want it.  It helps to go to the insertion point and make the space bigger before I try to drop a pic there.

I know it's a little on the cutsy side alternating baby pics with the flowers but it is practice rearranging the pics and the juxtaposing almost works.. sort of.  Next step is to plug in the text and background colors and see if they blend with the wallpaper background similar the previous post.

Doesn't she have the greatest smile!
