    @millenium42 When using digital photo’s, you will want to resize the photo first. To do that you can re size in any photo editor. Re size, crop, what ever you need to do to make the image fit properly. Tell me what them you are using and I will help you out. I’ll do a new video on using photo images. :) Thanks for the question!

    @xibeks1804 I use a program Camtasia Studios… In the software there is a function to create Call Outs.. This is how they are created. Hope that helps. Would you like to see a video on how I create videos with Camtasia? Let me know.

    @ajm717 Sorry so late to reply… It depends on the theme you are using and the functionality of it. In the Altahualpa theme, you need to upload it to your server in the themes header section. This is a powerful theme to use and it is free but… it is one that requires some knowledge from a developers stand point. The 2010 theme you can can just drop it right in. Let me know what theme you are using and I will try to help.
