Great tips thanks! I'm puter challenged too. I'm wondering, can you add thumbnails like that to emails? Does it depend what email your using? (I use thunderbird) Also, can we save a complete thread here? Seems like the clippings thing just saves one message? And the searches lose pictures when they are old? Love all the pictures(esp the kitty!) Jill

Once your picture has been uploaded to photobucket (or whatever hosting site you choose), find its web address by right clicking on the image and copying the image location. Some sites may even provide the address in a text box below the photo for your convenience. Let's say, as an example, that the address of the picture you want to post is http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg To embed the picture into a post, use the command img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg"> You could also include a width attribute for large pictures. Using this reduce the size of an oversized picture for better viewing. The entire command, including the width attribute would looks something like img src="http://somepicturesite.com/yourpicture.jpg" width=400> Note that I had to use special characters to get the commands above to show up here without turning into pictures, but you can use them as shown (with the correct image location, of course).

And that trip was my only ever to the western half of the country. We're drawn to beaches, and have spent many of our vacations at beaches along the gulf coast (Fla thru Al.) and on the east coast, one week on a lake in Mi, a few trips to D.C., one to Niagara Falls. I'd love to see Canada, too. We've gone to the Cayman Island many times in winter, and always to the Smoky Mountains in fall. I just love it there. I think I've spent at least of quarter of my vacation time in my lifetime doing things for my Mom, mostly caring for her after surgery ;-( When we retire we'll have time to travel, but probably not the money!

Mr.P, ~~~ Anyone got a fix? ~~~ It may seem too OT but for some of us our computers are as an important gardening tool as any other ... A few tools for ya, This was recced to me by 2 Dell techs. and I use it daily. http://www.ccleaner.com/ Spybot is a VERY powerful set of tools. Used probably weekly as a scan but some features are in constant use and automatic. http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html This was recced to me by a Microsoft tech and is far superior in my experiences to Norton or Macafee. Use is constant and automatic. http://www.bitdefender.com/ None of this stuff will work to their potential and can do quite a bit of harm if the instructions aren't read and understood, at least to get it set up properly. It took some tweaking to get em to work together but I think it was worth the effort. Of course, keeping your operating system and its tools updated is as critical as anything else you can do. Best of luck. P.S. I'm NOT a computer expert :-)
