I LOVE looking at photos too! 1. Go to an online site like shutterfly or picturetrail and sign up for a free online photo album. Follow the directions and place photos in the online album. 2. Go into your online album and click a photo to enlarge it. Place your curser on the photo and right click. 3. click 'properties' find the email address URL of the photo. (I usually copy and paste) if you don't get this next step just right, it won't work. 4. go back to gardenweb and get ready to post a message. write, in the middle of those two little brackets type, img src= there is a space between the g and the s. now place the address of your photo right after the equal sign. Post your message and your photo should be inside the message. Good luck!

You shouldn't be getting an "invalid url" message from the html link (3rd box in list, under each picture). As soon as you left click within the 3rd box it will say copied, you just have to come back to your GW post, right click and select copy. You can then preview your GW message to see if it worked right. I've gone to your album and the lily pictures don't seem to be too big so I wouldn't worry about resizing those particular ones. If someone doesn't come along to save the day, you could always link directly to your album from the GW linking provided under the message composition box. From your photobucket album, copy the website address from the top of your screen and put that in the "Optional Link URL:" box and then for the name of the link you just call it My album (or something similar) Hope that works :) Here is a link that might be useful: Ellix

Oopsy daisy...forgot about this thread! Took a hike today, WITH CAMERA! Now, of course, the real fun begins. Dax already 'splained it to me once, but that kind of stuff just doesn't get into this cranium very readily. Gonna be gone for next couple days. After, will see about the painful process of uploading. N-Girl, for some reason, even though my woods and surrounding area is clearly a deer yard, there is virtually no browsing going on. Just a few miles away, in any direction, the usual browse line of which you speak. I don't get it, but I like it. Just hope I don't somehow change something and cause the deer to turn on my "cedar" with a vengeance! +oM

I agree its annoying. I also agree that I do love cats, and there are also feral cat colonies here and there. What I haven't seen mentioned is that there are leash laws, and by and large, those laws DO INCLUDE CATS. I know for a fact that my state (Tennessee) does have a statewide leash law and it does include cats. It's probably true as well that most people in TN aren't aware of that fact. I'll go one further and speculate that most people in southern states with a lot of rural area aren't aware their own states probably have the same law. You need to check your state leash law and see if it includes cats first off. Then its not just a matter of "inconveniencing" anyone. Then it becomes a matter of law. Now can you get someone to enforce this? (probably not). I will say however that there are a lot of people out there - specifically cat owners and lovers who let their pets run free and aren't fully aware of the consequences. Feral cats perpetuate FIV and feline leukemia. They can pass this on to the roaming family cat, who in turn can pass it on to her mates at the local groomer or vet. In addition, and trust me, I know this for a fact, there are people out there who go out of their WAY to trap and turn in roaming annoying cats who wander onto their property. When I worked at the shelter, there was one older lady who went out of her way to rent a live-trap monthly and bring in every stray cat she could catch (often baited with tuna). THAT wasn't illegal - but the roaming cat was. By the way, the other day, a contractor doing some work for us told me, "Oh I'm so sorry, but we let your cat out of the garage accidently." My response? "Umm... what cat? we don't have one." Apparently we've had a cat take up residence under our house. Lately sometimes at night, I can hear a good bit of screeching and yowling. I fear for the fellow or gal because I've only recently caught glimpses of him and we have no idea what he's up to in the neighborhood or what he's running into. We don't have feral cat colonies in our residential neighborhood, so I suspect he's someone's roaming pet who has decided he likes our basement garage. I've also seen him slip through the gate of my back yard. That's not a good idea for him since I have Boo and Ginger who roam at will back there (2 large dogs). That is not an end I want to witness.
