Could you answer my poll to the right of this post?

I am writing some new web-ready actions and I would love to know what size images you usually post on your blog/website/facebook/etc. so I can make the most common size pop up when the action runs. Of course,
the action will be adjustable, but I hope to save some of you time.  I might even make a few versions of the actions with the most popular sizes. 

Just look over at my poll on my sidebar and click on the common image pixel widths you like to crop your images before posting.

I know you can post any size image on your blog and make it show up smaller to fit your posts. However, it is a good idea to make your images smaller (lower resolution) when you post them so people will be less likely to steal them.   Blogger hosts it images on Picasa and free accounts limit how much space you are allowed, so why not load smaller images. 

I am finally thinking of upgrading my old Canon Rebel XT for a new Canon EOS Rebel T2i. My XT is still working (it is the  Timex of the camera world), but it is having some issues with noise and focusing so I think I might be forced to finally upgrade... I love the fact that the Canon T2i has a HD video camera built in (I understand it is not incredibly easy to work) so that I can hopefully just carry one camera for video and still images. Right now I have a nice little video camera that saves on those tiny tapes and I need to transfer them all.  Stressful!

If anyone has the Canon T2i I would love to hear what you think about it!  Now I have to save up for my Christmas present camera.   I keep on telling myself that I need this camera for my blog (it is a photography blog, right?), but it still feels like a lot of money.  ;-) I planned on buying this camera two birthdays ago, but almost a year and half later my old camera is still clicking away.

I am also trying to reorganize this blog and I just updated my storyboard page. If you want to see all of the free storyboard, templates, and frames (actions included), just go click on the top menubar under Storyboards!
