Software Tools Used to Create Blog

 Applications (used on "Microsoft Windows")
[All applications are gratis (or included with "Microsoft Windows").]


"Google Blogger"
 to create and edit blog hosted on blogspot.com.

"Windows Notepad"
 to create simple text, free of any special formatting, to copy into Blogger.

"LibreOffice"
 to create a spreadsheet documenting camps, dates, distances travelled, portages, fish caught (and my many canoe checklists).

"Advanced Renamer"
 to bulk change edited photo and video names to add a new identifier to the file name.

"Google Chrome"
 to post and edit "Blogger" blogs.  (Important to use Chrome versus other web browsers which may not provide full functionality in Google Blogger.)

"Microsoft Office 2010 Picture Manager"
 to edit photos (crop, autocorrect some dark images, compress for uploading to Blogger).  (Installed with free "Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010" download.) 

"Adobe Express"
 to filter dark images (with "Light" filter) that may not be improved enough with "Picture Manager".

"Avidemux"
 to edit and compress video.
 
"Windows Photo Viewer"
 to display photos before and after editing.
