      Short, sweet and comprehensive at the same time. Thanks for putting this post in a step by step format, Michelle. Easy to follow.

      Loved the video Michelle!

      I loved the way you explained everything so very well. :)

      I have however wondered whether we could use MorgueFile.com for images and add our own blog’s name at the end, just as you added. (I understand this is possible for public domain images, but is it so even for images from MorgueFile and other such sites like FreedigitaI, sxc.hu, etc.)

      I do know that we need to give credit to the photographer when we use images from such sites, if we use an image on our blog. If that is the case, don’t we have to credit the image like the one you used here also? I ask as I’m not very clear about this.

      Thanks for sharing this wonderful video and explaining things so well. :)

      Michelle,

      You are right on time again. Posting quotes with images is hot right now.

      Thanks for showing and telling us how to create our own.

      I’m excited about one I have in mind.

      Thank you so much Michelle. I have being struggling with numerous tools trying to figure out a simple way to do just this. I should have know to reach out to you.

      Hey there, talented lady! Oh, my stars! This rocks so much! I highly appreciate it! I was talking with my hubby the other day about how to do this. This saves us so much time (and, well, for me, a headache using GIMP, ha ha ha!). This seems simple to do and I’m feeling so confident and inspired now! Thank you! I’ve really found that people share my stuff more when there’s an image, which builds my Facebook following on my fan page so much quicker. Oh, Michelle, you rock, you’re a tech goddess! Thanks for sharing your knowledge so freely with us. xoxo

      Thanks, Michelle! SO MUCH timely and very useful information. Your directions and examples are easy-to-follow, as always. Pretty soon all the “good” quotations will be taken, so we’ll have to create something ourselves. THAT’s when it’ll get exciting around here! Agree?

      You can add mind reader to your resume. :-)

      I have 216 followers on Pinterest and have yet to start a board. I’ve been having this nagging thought to create my own motivational quotes for my first board. I was prepared to someday research Google to find the “how.” And voilà my need has been fulfilled.

      Hmmm, I hope this is the beginning of all my other needs and wants materializing.

      I’m taking action and ready to receive.

      Thanks for sharing.

      Wow Michelle. I continue to be impressed with everything you know. I’ll put pinterest at the top of my list of things to do once this challenge is over and I can concentrate on it. I can pull out quotes and start promotion of my ebook.

      Thank you for always pointing us in the direction of such fabulous tools.

      Thanks, Michelle,

      I knew how to add quotes to images – in fact, here’s my post on some different apps that you can use to do this:http://bit.ly/PjHbD2 , but what I didn’t know was how to redirect back to my website using the “edit comments” feature on Pinterest.

      Thanks!

      Thanks my friend. I’ve been creating images with quotes just using background colors (not photos). Tried a few with photos as well, but got a little baffled when using Pixlr. Now, with your video I’m anxious to go back & try again. Much appreciated. ~Debra

      It was sent to facebook and is tiny.

      Hi Michelle:

      This is very helpful information. I have been using Microsoft Publisher to make my image quotes but I am going to have to give Pixlr.com a try.

      Thanks!

        Hey Kevin, thanks for stopping by! I like Pixlr.com because I don’t have to load a separate program to do it. But Publisher probably gives you more options. :)

      Thanks for the quote tip. I didn’t know about Quote Garden. Thanks. I love Pinterest. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests. It is really great news that even those without an invite can just sign-up for Pinterest now. I didn’t get an invite, but I just applied to register and Pinterest sent me an invitation a couple of days later. So, it wasn’t hard to get an account. Do you like pets? If so try my site: http://www.mypetpins.com for some animal images to pin.

      Hi Michelle, I love your website and you have lots of good information. Whenever I start to go round in circles on the Internet wondering what to do next I look at your list of 51 things or come here. I like this article, but I was really looking for an easier way to put quotes into my personal photos. There should be some little app around that does it. The quest continues. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
