FOILED AGAIN

I have wanted to share photos for some time. Well, maybe since Christmas when I got a digital camera. So here we go ready or not. I hope to share the physical side of The Home. I have shared plenty on the emotions of The Home. Forgive me if this does not look like I would like ii to look. I'm not 100% sure of how this is going to work or not work.

After quite a while of attempting to post photos, I have had no success. I have counted to ten and I am currently deep breathing. It seems simple. I used to understand things like this. Am I just to old? Do I really need to get my nine year old grandson to come and help? I'm embarrassed.

All I am suppose to do is click on a little picture here in the header. It says add image. That sends me to another screen where I am asked to select the file. I do that. So far it is the same process I have used to post that beautiful high school picture of me. This program dinks around flashing a warming sign until it is suppose to be loaded. The photo I want appears in the pre-whatever-you-call-it and says it is loaded. When I go back to the blog all I have is some typed gibberish that I guess is some substitute for the photo. Yuck! What's all that about? I'm a decent human being. I haven't over eaten today - yet. I never hit anyone or stole their toys. I haven't been too mean to anyone (OK there was that one joke at coffee this morning that was a bit of a put down, but I didn't mean it to hurt. Ha Ha Ha! OK, I 'll apologize if I must, but she laughed. Do you think I should say anything. Now don;t be motherly, said it like a buddy who might have done the same thing. If you do that I know you will think I'm right.

No what do I do? I just spent three hours getting them off the camera, cleaning some of them up, cropping some and resizing so they would meet the size limits imposed. I think I did all the right things so what did I do wrong? I've going to start over eating and will come back to this later. There is nothing like food to help get one out of a well deserved depression. No criticism right now, I'm way to tender.

You will notice "Edit HTML" and "compose" tabs when you have uploaded your photo. If you click on the edit tab, you will see letters/numbers/gibberish. Click on "compose" and you will see the photo.

One way to make the files smaller is to upload to facebook, then right click and save the file into a folder you can make as your "BLOG FOTOS" and then upload from there. It takes up less space which is a good thing. That is what I do, just because it is easy.

Thanks. Good ideas. I have been reducing the image size and no longer having trouble. It is the arrangement I would like to control better. I find it is easier if I upload the type first and then enter the photos. By the preview and real then never look alike. Haven't figured that one yet.
