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

Notahosta! [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/cheerpeople/IMG_1445.jpg[/IMG] Yeah I've only got this to work once on my mac. And I'd done 50 things and I never have been able again! Can someone email me and tell me what the heck I'm still doing wrong? Chances are if you answer me here I will never be able to find this thread to read it. Thx Karen

You guys are too deep for me! I'm just a simple farm girl. Our land is plenty wide and plenty deep. The back is to the east, but I would like to turn the house slightly so that the back is slightly SE, and hopefully creating a cooler spot on the left side of the front porch that is not due West. Our land is thickly wooded and slightly sloped to the back, so I hope to create a walk-out basement somewhere for easy basement escape in case of fire. The more I look at the two picturesI have, the more I like the 1.5 story. It really has a certain charm. I am doubting that the first floor of my other house will hold all the spaces I would like to have. I'm thinking a first floor guest room maybe as well. Are the Hardie shingles any good?

My question is after I have loaded my pics in Photobucket then how do I get them here? Thanks Donna H.
