How to Optimize Your Blog Images

Something I've noticed among a lot of my bloggers friends is that they don't have any idea about image optimization. They're unaware of the amazing FREE tracking tool they can use on their blog and that uploading full size images makes their blog's speed slow. Many bloggers upload their high res (and large images) directly to their blog. You may be wondering, what's so bad about that?

The Best Coffee Shops in Helsinki

It's been 2 weeks since I came back from my trip to Finland.

I've hardly touched my laptop to edit any pictures or work on this post. But here I am! Here's the first post from my Finland trip. Helsinki is a hidden city. Not a lot of people think of Finland when it comes to vacati[...]
