Customized Sizes for Blog Pictures

Customizing the size of your pictures is super-easy!  I first saw the idea over at Funky Junk Interiors!  I made some changes to make Donna's suggestions fit my blog.

You'll need to do some experimenting to find the custom size that you like the best!

Making little changes to your photos like Editing in Picassa and changing the size can make big differences in the appearance of your blog!
