I've read several posts similar to this one and I don't understand what all the fuss is about. If I wanted to reply to a Craigslist email, I could do it in about 6 seconds with a few mouse clicks and not have to make any changes to the browser at all, nor would I need to install any type of a plug-in that might not be supported the next time the browser gets updated. Right-click the Craigslist email address Select Copy E-Mail Address with a left-click Open a new Tab-go to your AOL EMail Click Compose Right-click in the To: field and left--click to PASTE the email address you just copied a moment ago. What could be easier? Sometimes the problems encountered by users wanting to make everything work with one click are better solved by using what is already available to you. It's not that hard, and you just might learn something useful along the way.

Google and d/l some graph paper for printing. Or buy a spiral notebook of it at an office supply store. Other than that, you will need: Measuring tape and partner to hold the smart end while measuring the space. Fine Sharpie for the outline of the room. Straight edge to make nice straight lines. Pencil and eraser. Colored pencils for drawing in pathways of your typical cooking projects when evaluatiing a plan you like. You don't need colored pencils, but it allows you to trace multlple meals on the same drawing w/o getting confused. And sometimes you'll find problems - i.e. places where you have to back track or cross another's path or working postion, repeatedly - crop up at the same place, over and over, which is an excellent indication that some more work needs to be done. Once you have a plan you want to share, snap a pic of it and put it on photobucket; put it in a post and bingo - you'll get responses. Hint: in the early iterations just sketch (to more or less scale) to free your self from details. Once you have any idea, then go back and do it perfectly to scale to make sure it works, including aisles. BTW, if you haven't already you might find it very useful to check out the :Read Me" thread posted by BUEHL, which is usually found kicking around on the first or second page. It has tons of the Forum's collected wisdom about designing for functional work areas, plus tons of other goodies. The reason I'm not suggesting a computer program is that I find people get hung up on the details of that if it's not something they do a lot of, every day. And that gets in the way of free-brain noodling which will get the process under way most productively. Good luck and have fun. (And if I may add a personal comment: I am impressed with your response to our somewhat less than enthusiastic embrace of your first design. As I mentioned, it's always dodgy dealing with that situation. But you have taken our critiques in the spirit that they were meant, i.e. not to be catty or mean, but trying really hard to be useful and helpful. I have confidence your design will evolve and you will get the most out of the Forum - and wind up with a really great kitchen in the end!) Liriodendron

I use planyourroom.com There may be better ones; for example it's only aerial views. But it is verrry easy. For pasting photos over photos, you can use word. Drag the photos in, double click on the photo, choose "align photo" and it's something like "on top of text". You can also choose remove background

This takes a few steps but it may be fine for getting input from the forum on the plan you have done already. No scanning involved! Open your floor plan copy a pic of your screen with the floor plan (usually hit fn key and print screen key) paste the picture of your screen into your computer's paint program crop the image in the paint program to show the plan, not your whole screen save the image as a jpeg go to a photo sharing site (tinypic, photobucket etc) and download your image copy the HTML for Websites code paste the code into your message it sounds complicated, but pretty easy once you do it a few times. hth!
