Picnik loves BlogHer! / Jul 17th

[image: Monica with Franklin]Team Picnik is headed to BlogHer down in SF! BlogHer is just what the title suggests - a place for (mostly) female bloggers to hang out with one another, and share some laughs, advice, tips, and great stories. We love bloggers and we’re incredibly grateful for what the blogging community has done for Picnik. We’ve posted a new version of our media/kit reviewer guide for bloggers to http://press.picnik.com. Hopefully, if you’re a blogger, you’ll find the blogging tips and tricks useful. (BTW, that’s me with my dog Franklin - who just happens to be my favorite black and white Spaniel!)

Featured Picniker - Ariel Meadow Stallings / Jul 11th

[image: Arial Portrait]A writer and editor for over a decade, Ariel Meadow Stallings is the author of a book called Offbeat Bride: Taffeta Free Alternatives for Independent Brides, the editor of offbeatbride.com maintains a blog at electrolicious.com, and manages a local semi-regular literary event called Salon of Shame, where Seattlites gather to drink and exploit their younger selves by reading from their worst adolescent writing: middle school diaries, high school poetry, etc.
Originally from Bainbridge Island, Ariel grew up in a log cabin and studied Sociology and Communications at the University of Washington. She has written up and down the Left Coast, crafting articles for San Francisco-based feminist zines and Amazon.com reviews and several things in between. She’s been on The Today Show, she works at Microsoft three days a week taking pictures of cool employees, and she has bright pink hair tips.

Since she’s mostly a casual photographer who does other things for a living, we thought she’d be a great choice for Featured Picniker, to showcase how great casual pictures can look with just one or two Picnik Effects. And because four of us in Team Picnik are getting married this summer (that is, two of us are getting married to another two of us), who better to feature than an offbeat bride?
Picnik: How did you first hear about Picnik, and when was that? Ariel: Picnik was recommended to me by a friend last fall, but it wasn’t until it was integrated with my beloved Flickr that I really started playing with it.

Featured Feedback: Whoalla Boom! / Jul 11th

Team Picnik get a lot of feedback, but it’s not always just feature requests. A lot of it just makes us smile. When these feedbacks come in, Kristi and Ali, our Picnik Community Therapists, like to spread these warm-fuzzies by sharing with the whole team, and a few of those we thought were featuring even further…
