Oh, yes, yes, we can always shoehorn in a new or returning ponder poster. Topics are not limited to our ponds and pets and we do our best to avoid Hot Topics but not passion. The discussions can range from how and what to feed a baby bird or set its broken wing to contests to frogs or bats or frogs and bats together. Football rivalries come up frequently. Come join the fun. I won't speak about the gallery. I'm too often jealous.

-natalie, I can probably give you some help with that if you want ;-) The first thing you need to do is copy the code (it is the gibberish located in the box at the top of your screen) OF THE PAGE YOU WANT TO LINK TO. This is what the code looks like of your post on the gallery side: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cottage/gal1208141825883.html?4 When you are typing a message here on GW you will notice two boxes below the box you use to write your message. See them? They say "Optional Link URL" and "Name of the Link". Paste your code/link inside the "Optional Link URL" box and type the name of what you are linking to or want to say (like jkom's link said 'Natalie's lovely garden and kitty!') in the "Name of the Link" box. When you hit "Preview Message" your link should appear below highlighted in blue. You can test out your link there and then hit the back button to get back to your message. Then hit submit and you are all done ;-) There is also another way of linking where you can make links within your text (the message). It is great if you want to do multiple links, but is a bit more difficult. Let me know if you are interested in learning about that method sometime and I would be happy to show you. You can use this thread to practice if you like. If you run into any problems I can help (can even shoot me an email if you need to). It is super simple once you get the hang of it! ;-) CMK

Bumping down ....

Oh, thanks so much for sharing your great cards! I especially love your mosiacs and the last card with the buttons on it. All I can say is it takes som fussing with the compression levels to get those photos small in file size but large in screen size. I use Photoshop to resize mine but it's not much help if you don't have that program. The only other one I know how to do it in is Paint Shop Pro. rosie- your grandbaby is such a little doll! And I love your "emerge" collage...did you have that up on Ebay?
