pm2: Don't worry about "wrecking" the thread. I was planning to start a new one anyway when I did the second draft, probably mid-week. dtd: Thanks for the lesson on resizing. When I said I was avoiding getting deeply into inserting photos, it wasn't because I didn't want to do the work. I simply don't know much since I haven't gotten into posting photos myself (no digital camera yet). Claire

So I seem to have been able to do all that I wanted to know how to do. Now for some comments... I like knowing how to change the font, but I agree, I would use it rarely. What I find myself wishing I could do on a fairly regular basis, is putting something in italics, underlining a book title, putting a word in bold. As for the color, something else I would rarely go to the trouble of using, but again, I would like to know how to for that rare occasion when I might. Such as in a Christmas greetings thread or something like that. Most of the time I would not take the time to do that. As a matter of fact, I use the firefox browser and if you notice when I tried to use the color tags, I thought it didn't work. That is because firefox limits html commands when using their browser and I didn't see any red words. I realized that you did and I went and used Internet Explorer and sure enough, I saw the word red in red ink. Strangely, I didn't see the other effects. That was confusing and I have no idea why. BUT, in the browser that I use every day, the commands I wanted to use work fine with the directions you gave me. So I am all set. The thing I wanted most to do and will probably use more frequently than the others, is posting a photo inside the post. I used to use Tinypic, but at some point something changed and I was pasting the command they were providing and it still wasn't working. So these directions worked for me. I compared the command you were suggesting to the command Tinypic provided and they were different. But I think I would still use the Tinypic site to upload the photo and then just change the command where needed. Finally, on Nan's concern about resizing the photos. I assume that the concern is the time it takes to open a thread for someone on dial up when one of the photos is oversized. So the photo I posted above, is oversized? If that is a problem, I will go back and review the directions for resizing. Hope that helps. :-)

That's "Twister" - a baby screech owl. He looked a lot better after he had a bath.

redtail hawk, probably. Too big and chunky to be much else, and they do love squirrels. https://www.carolinabirdclub.org/gallery/Cathy_Miller/rtha.html https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Buteo_jamaicensis_-Pillar_Point_Harbor%2C_California%2C_USA-8.jpg
