It was a mystery. Suddenly, they were popping up all over Facebook. And now I know where everyone created those adorable collages of their kids. The website is called Photovisi, but I think of it as "Photocollages for Dummies"-- definitely including myself in the category.
It's so easy, my grandmother could do it. And you don't have to download any software or commit to a name-brand photo site--two of my pet peeves--because the photos come straight from your computer.
You simply select from over 20 templates, choose to add photos from your computer or from a webcam, and add as many photos as the collage will hold. Then you can arrange the photos, move them around, change the background color, or add a background photo. Go crazy! Once you're happy, you can download your collage or add it to a mug or a t-shirt or something else from www.zazzle.com.
Photo savvy folks will find that it lacks sophistication, such as any color effects or image control. I was also a little annoyed to get to my final collage and try the "Share This" button, but it doesn't share *your* collage, it shares the URL for Photovisi. If you want to upload your collage directly to Facebook, you have to download an app, first, which I wasn't willing to do, because I watched too much X Files in the 90's and don't trust anyone.
But if you want to spend 5 minutes making a free collage, by all means, go for it. After all, your kids are awfully cute, and "free" is my favorite price.~Delilah
