Why Skinny WordPress?
Those of you who have followed Skinny Artist for awhile may be wondering why I would think about starting another website when I already spend so much time bitching about not having enough time to get anything done as it is. Well, you’re right and I’ll admit that I’ve wondered about this once or twice myself. What would possibly make me think that taking on another website now was a good idea? I know how it is to feel completely overwhelmed with all this website stuff. I’ve been there, and honestly, I’m still there most days. I know what it’s like to have a to-do list that’s three pages long and absolutely no clue where to start. We all love technology, but let’s face it, we just don’t have the time to keep up with everything. That’s one of the reasons that I wanted to have a place online where I could share all of the cool little things that I’ve learned about using WordPress over the last several years. When it comes to WordPress I certainly wouldn’t consider myself an expert, but more like someone who has used WordPress, made a lot of mistakes, and just maybe has learned something along the way. I was always taught growing up that when you learn something new, it was your obligation and privilege to pass on that knowledge to someone else who is ready. That’s why I was interested in sharing things like where to find free images online that you can use on your website without having to worry about the internet police showing up in the middle of the night to take back that funny picture of the dog you “borrowed” for your blog two years ago. As Skinny Artist continued to grow, more and more people began to ask me questions about using WordPress and I soon realized that if this one person was asking, there were probably hundreds of others out there who had the very same question. I was happy to help these readers out, but I knew that it was pretty inefficient answering all of these questions one at a time. I also realized that not all of our Skinny Artist readers were using WordPress or necessarily even interested in hearing about me rambling on about it, so the idea for Skinny WordPress was born. . . This is the website that I wish I would have had when I was first getting started with WordPress. This is where we’ll show you all of those awesome little WordPress tips and tricks that I wish someone would have showed me before I had the opportunity to screw things up. Look, I know that not all of you are using WordPress or are even interested in hearing about it and that’s fine. Actually that’s one of the reasons that I wanted to put all of this WordPress stuff on a completely different website so that those of you who couldn’t care less about WordPress, wouldn’t have to wade through article after article of me droning on about it. Don’t worry Skinny Artist isn’t going anywhere. For better or for worse, you’ll still get all of the same irrelevant and slightly disturbing content week after week that you’ve come to expect here at Skinny Artist. In order to make things as efficient as possible, the Skinny WordPress site will primarily feature short video tutorials, reviews, and content rather than the long-winded rambling articles that you often find here. This fact alone may make you want to check out the new site I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your friendship and continued support of this website. The Skinny Artist community continues to grow every day and I am honored that so many of you have chosen to become a part of our online artist’s directory. I am extremely proud of how this amazing creative community has evolved over the last two years and I look forward to seeing where we go from here. Even though I have no idea where this path will eventually lead us, I do know that we’ll be fine as long as we are in this together. Here’s the thing. . .
Skinny Artist isn’t going to change

I really like your method of protecting your online images by using shrink wrapping. Unfortunately, I’m not doing it right for some reason. I did copy the html code that you supplied as much as I could, but the image still isn’t coming out correctly.
Please Help.
