Just Playing

I downloaded the desktop Picasa application from Google (I use the web version to make the slide shows I post). I like the collage I made for my title picture, except for the fact that I don't like the title. The title options in Blogger are pitifully limited and so what I would prefer is to be able to add the blog title directly to the image, in a black hand-written font with a strikeout through the word 'chaotic' and 'nice' directly after it. But alas, Picasa does not seem to have a way to add text to a picture.

So, calling all you computer-literate types, if you know of a (easy and free) way to edit my collage to add text as I have described above I am eagerly awaiting your suggestions.

UPDATE: that looks pretty much like how I wanted it, now -- I downloaded PhotoPlus 6. Not terribly thrilled with comic sans ms for the font but it'll do. Yay me, I rock :)

UPDATE #2: Jon rocks even more than I do! Yay Jon! I love it! (For those of you who arrived late to the party, here was mine)

LOVE the pictures at the top. I may have to steal that style. Maybe Jon will have a suggestion for the words.

I just closed the computer and Rachel started flipping out - "more baby Becca....more baby Becca".

Go for it - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :) Glad you (and rachel) like it!
