I have no idea why my pics come out sideways!! Grrr, I rotate it in paintshop, save it, upload it to photobucket (where it shows up sideways),,I even rotate it in photobucket, but soon as I post it it's sideways, go figure!
Is there a better photo hosting site out there?

I'm not sure why your rotating doesn't work, but your totem is great. I didn't even notice if the top is crooked. And your yard is wonderful, you should post more pix for us.

If you embed your photos in the thread, then you can post as many photos as you like. It's only if you are linking, they you are limited to 1. So that you can limit yourself to 1 thread - and you don't want to embed your photos, you have 2 choices. You can place the link directly in the text of the post. They won't show up as clickable links, but people can cut and paste. Or you can post subsequent replies to your original thread, and post the links in the optional link url, and them readers can continue to click. If you are posting subsequent replies, you will most likely have to change he subject of your posting - just write something like "2nd photo link" - since GW has a time limit as to how soon you can post a reply.

Looks great but I have to wonder.....aren't those of you with glass dishes afraid that the sun hitting directly on the glass might act as a magnifying glass and start a fire?

Awwwww, thanks guys!! It was so much fun putting it together (I just hope it stays that way ! LOL) Garden2garden, my hubby said I should put the other one on top with it being deeper but the one I did use for the top is such a beautiful plate. I just wish I could've used something else as the base as I would've preffered to use that bottom one as a top for another project but it's all so heavy it really needed a heavy sturdy base. I also thought about a bird or two, I'm on the look out for some glass ones and I'll attach one or two later. Desertrat, I used 6 pieces, 2 large plates, 2 tall vases, a round vase and a small plate (upside down under the round vase) I think all up they cost about $12 - $14, I picked them all up from garage sales. Thanks for the tips on photo uploading, I'll give it a try now so I can show you this from another angle. (((hugs))) Tracey

Looks beautiful! Can't believe it's your first one! And I love the setting behind it as well...except, is that a snake on the ground behind it? Perhaps a plastic one?

Great job!

Did you click "Save a copy" after you rotated it in "edit"? Sometimes I forget! And this way we can't tell "it's a little crooked"...looks wonderful...I'm especially loving the trio of green glass & then another added in-between. Good work! TFS! Jeanne S.

Here it is (beautiful, too!)

That turned out lovely! You should be proud of it.
I was going to ask same thing as Jeanne did, did you hit save after you rotated it? I've never had a problem with Photobucket and used it for years.
Sometimes when I rotate one there, in my album it still looks sideways till the NEXT time I open it. But its been rotated fine. I actually hit "replace original" instead of "save a copy", not that it matters.

So, are you planning your next totem? The darn things are like potato chips. LOL.
hugs, Karen
