Daily Online Training Call

Friday 30th October

Webmaster Call – MySQL databases

Friday nite is server nite – Webmaster call in yorgotalk.com – Understanding and learning the basics.

This Friday we covered MySQL databases: cleaning databases and understanding the features and functions. It is important to keep your tables optimised in order to keep your site running smoothly. An overcrowded database means a slow running site. House cleaning is an important part of your weekly maintenance.

It becomes so much easier when you listen to someone explains each and every function, step by step, the why and wherefore. Join our calls on a Friday nite at yorgotalk.com

Add a border to a photo or image

Add a border to a photo or image

Sometimes a plain photo or image is rather boring and makes no impact at all. Just by adding a border to a photo or image gives it a complete lift and adds a new dimension.

Add a border using Gimp

Here are some examples of borders using a free photo/image editor like Gimp. These require no technical skills, just a few simple mouse clicks hence easy to use by anyone.

For this example I have chosen a photo of a dragonfly, caught firmly on my washing. As you can see it is a plain photo, just catching the moment.

Dragonfly

Opening the Gimp editor I opened the image I want to use and then selected ‘Filter’ and then selected ‘Decor’. By using the ‘Add a Border’ and making a few adjustments this changed the dimension of the photo.
