Images such
as portraits, maps, and infographics are especially important for presenting
history. Online history has tools
available for the historian who is not a graphic designer. Here are my favorite plugins for sites
powered by Wordpress.
Getty
Images: This plugin accesses the vast
Getty library. As with images from
Wikipedia, they are free to use.
ClickAnimate: This gives movement to both graphics and
texts. I use it sparingly as too much
movement on the screen becomes distracting.
CanvaKala: This is a mini-photoshop for images and
text.
Enhanced Media
Library: Allows you to organize your
images. They can get out of hand really
fast.
I am not an artist so using plugins are a real help for
me. Moreover at the rate of a new post
each day, I don't have a lot of time to spend on graphics. See the end results on History Moments: http://historyweblog.com/
