I create new folder for each them I photographed. In Picasa you can easily recrop, sometimes straighten ;) (my arm must not be straight), and then export the images to say 960px. Then I upload them to flickr. From flickr I get the html and paste that into wordpress. The montages/collages are done in Picasa. It is super easy. I take off the normal css frame I put on photos for these collages. The images on flickr are ok, but I always feel I want to see them bigger. Flickr is a bit limiting when it comes to displaying your work. I am using Picasa to grab all my photos from the camera. I create new folder for each them I photographed.

(I can see peoples arguments re too many images as it can equal a lot of ones download allocation if on a small cap -even though it appears you are resizing images as they all appear to be around 300 kb) I also like the photo montages that have started to crop up...another way of putting in more images on the page in one image! Is this hand done or do you use software to recreate the multiple photos in one image? (with regards to the framing etc) I like the photos…maybe 5-10 quality images on page plus a link to the flickr page so we can explore more?

Glad you are enjoying it. Visiting other places is nice, but photographing Shibuya is always special. I like to look back at the same location from previous posts and see what difference the seasons make to the scenery. The advertising changing, peoples clothes being different. Its all great to see see the change. Much appreciated. Glad you are enjoying it. Visiting other places is nice, but photographing Shibuya is always special.

It has been great. Looking back over some of the articles from last year it is interesting to see how the shape of the blog has changed as well as how so many fantastic members have now joined in to share the content. The Conbini Box was a way of saying "thanks" for your support. "Keep on Keepen on" indeed. I think you have been voted a permanent feature of the site ;) Thanks for the summary of your educational trip. It has been great.

Will do some research on google and start making a plan. Sounds like 2 votes for Takayama right there. Will do some research on google and start making a plan.

Glad you like it. I agree with you about the community members and their comments. It is great to see people sharing their views. Both small and long comments are welcome, as is uploading any photos that go with the article's theme. Onsen sounds good. Might have to see if I can make a booking somewhere with good scenery. Thank you :) Great to hear. Glad you like it. I agree with you about the community members and their comments. It is great to see people sharing their views.

I really enjoyed the Kyoto and Yokohama trips as well. It is good to get out of Tokyo and see different areas, and then come home to explore some more close by as well. :) Thank you.

The chef at the only Okonomiyaki place in my country who's been to Japan often always tells me to go to Takayama for this stone grilled restaurant that's he claims was the best food he ever tasted; ever. (that says something, this guy has been around most of the world) - If you ever go to Takayama send me an e-mail and i'll grab the restaurant name for you :-) - He always tells me to go to the Okonomiyaki museum that's 8 stories tall and filled with restaurants in Hiroshima too but somehow I just never make it farther out of Tokyo than Yokohama when i'm there lol.

I also found your Kyoto and Yokohama photos intriguing. Thank you for sharing with those who aren't in Japan.

I love all that you do and to read your posts brings a bit of sunshine each day to the Japan-a-file side of me. I also love to read the comments by the very loyal and expressive Whipcracker and your other wonderful like-minded followers. If you do get to travel to other cities I'm sure we would all love to share in the experience and Takayama would be my suggestion of a great place to visit for snow and outdoor onsen. Keep up the great work, it is much appreciated.
