Hey,what a nice surprize to see your post Linda. It's about time you showed off your birdhouses. You are gonna love all the creative ladies on here, and I told you they would just love seeing your birdhouses. Linda, if you are using photobucket, try clicking on your pics, go to the bottom of the page, select "generate img and html code". It will take you to the next page. I just click on the first option, then right click and select "copy". Now come back here and type your message. Then right click and select "paste". Your post with the pictures will show up when you hit "preview message". You can post multiple pics from the same page this way. Give it a try and ask questions if you need more answers. So glad you decided to join in here. And you know these ladies will want to see pics of all sides of that birdhouse. Luvs ( aka Kay )

For a while I've been using the ARF homepage on my favorites for access and it's still working. I did notice that there're some changes in the portals wordage (Home and Garden) and a lot more iVillage references. I wonder if they still have the rosarians.com portal that Spike bought so many years ago. Answering my own question: Linked below doesn't take us to a GW home page with all the rose forums (and only rose forums) on it. Dang. That used to be the easy on I used when away from my own computer and it was fast and (best of all) easy to remember. Now it's just misc. ads. Dang. Dang. Dang. Here is a link that might be useful: Rosarians portal

Sonepi...I appreciate your posting this, but as an FYI I recreate the "Read Me" thread each time the current one maxes out (which the current one is ready to do...it's at 149 posts!). So, you don't need to bump this as I will be restarting the new thread this evening after the last bump. It's really great to know that you found it useful enough to keep it alive! Thanks!! Here is a link that might be useful: Current Read Me If You're New To GW Kitchens!

Sue, I did receive your private message and just responded. You are right on. I can not read the message in my email because with HOUZZ it is sent as a "private message". My private email only tells me that somone has sent me a HOUZZ message, thus I have to sign in to HOUZZ to read it .........On GW, we were sending an "email", thus I could read the message in my email.. Hello o o o o Annie, is anybody home???? This is what I say when something is so obvious and I don't figure it out....LOL!!! Email vs private message....kind of basic!!!! Thanks for being an awesome rbb...... Annie
