A question I get asked, more than any other, is "How do you post pictures of text in your blogs" Now this may not be the easiest way to do so, or a way that is available to you (Photoshop required) But this is simply a reference point, where I can send anyone who asks that question.
CLICK ANY IMAGE TO ZOOM!



Step 1
Open Photoshop, and start a new project.
Select the width and height of what'll be your text box.
And be sure to open the "Backgrounds and contents" Drop menu, then select "Transparent".

Image




Step 2
Select the "T" icon to insert a text box.
Image

Then drag the text box over the whole canvas.

Image



Step 3
Write your blog.
Image



Part 4
Save it as a PNG file (Very important)
Image



Step 5
Upload your newly created PNG file to Imgur.
Image

Then simply copy the "direct link" given to you by imgur.
Image



Step 6
On planet minecraft*
Begin to post your blog by adding a title and such.
Then when you want your main body of text, click the "Insert Image" button, and paste the "direct link"

Image

Click submit and your image is in the text box.
Image

Then add any post any images or videos you like, Then click "Save" for the world to enjoy your blog.

The result

Hope this helped anyone who needed it.
My job here is done.

As Imgur have moved their site around, you now have to take the image link and add  ".png" to the end of it.

What if we don't have photoshop? Is there any other option?

I'm guessing GIMP 2.8 has similar features... but I don't have much experience with that... sorry.

It's fine, I found out that imageshack has a free 30day trial I could use. I got a succesful blog out of it and with your advice for the PMC part I was able to do it :D

You forgot the most important step, spellcheck. You don't know how many spelling/grammatical mistakes I've seen people make when they use images instead of typing it out...

typing = better search results for your posts on google :D

images = sexy looking organised posts with custom fonts

summary... combine enough of both to be epic!
