I've only recently started blogging again, after a hiatus of a couple of years, and my current computer doesn't have photoshop, just a basic editing program that doesn't have many features at all. I'd been wondering what to use, or if I'd have to bite the bullet and buy photoshop again. I'll give PicMonkey a go!Sallyhttp://salandcharlie.blogspot.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911674580773813945.post-31161319561632091142014-02-28T20:45:38.702-05:002014-02-28T20:45:38.702-05:00I love Picmonkey!I love Picmonkey!Brittnee KAOnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911674580773813945.post-89852033132916864572014-02-27T15:00:40.861-05:002014-02-27T15:00:40.861-05:00No worries!

Some fonts are free for personal use, but not commercial use. What constitutes "commercial use" in blogging is debatable, so it can get confusing... individual font creators usually have individual policies. I'd read up on it if you're not sure. :)Rebecca B.
