It's rather daunting at first to add pictures, but if you force yourself it becomes easier. I have learned different ways to add pictures. One involved simple html code. If you could just get your photos uploaded to a photo hosting side, you could look up the url for your photo and code them into the html that generated your blog. Most html editors will let you insert photos. After I learned to embed photos in a post here and elsewhere, that was the second thing I learned, how to use my simple html editor and add photos that way. Now if it's just one picture I want to add or change, I open the html in Wordpad and add or change the code for pictures. Why? Because it's faster. Another thing I do is generate albums with JAlbum or the album feature in Photoshop. Then I have to upload them all myself with my ftp uploader. Another option is to just insert a clickable link in your blog html to the photo(s) but people are less inclined to click on that. It all sounds so complicated, but if you work up to it over a period of months or even years, it gets a lot easier. I'm sure your husband will be able to do it or figure out how. It would really enhance your blog. We all have to start somewhere. The main thing is that you have to be calm and be careful not to delete or overwrite something you don't intend to, so always keep a backup copy of your blog code. It's good to backup everything important anyway. That's just an overview; it may seem like too much to fast. Don't worry about it. Sometimes when I am stuck if I think about it for a couple days, the answer suddenly makes sense and I can move forward from there. Maybe start with trying to embed a photo in a post here. Can you do that? I can tell you what to type in your post if you like.

You all are so kind Mary- that huge shrub is a rhody.. starting to bloom right now- let's pray all this rain doesnt dash it all to bits this year! I hate that. Gotta Garden.. yes- I am goign to try the larger rocks when i get a chance :) You all can notice the difference? I look at these pics and think- gosh for all that work- it doenst show much of a change! :( Msscarlet- thank you for thinking my home is pretty. It's a little hosue- but i think it's kinda cute.. and i hope i get the cottagey feel across. I hear what you're saying about that blue spruce that blocks the view. it will only get bigger too... but here's the thing.. getting rid of that ONE might not make a difference- as you cna see in the pic- there is a HUGE one next to it and and even bigger one next to that one!!! haha. at first i hated them but I am rather attached to them now.. and this small one is the only one i can attempt to decorate for christmas. haha PLUS- there is actually a VAST amount of space betwee that spruce and the first corner bed by the house.. the angle the photo was taken at it straight one.. but coming from the other direction yu can actually see th ewhoel house.. i'll try to take different shtos for you guys and you can tell me what you think. Now Gladno1.. yours is the silliest question..hahahakeep bermuda grass out of my beds? You make me laugh!are you kidding me? what do you think i do all spring- march to may!!

Hi Red! I love the colors in your skirt. It's beautiful. Great embroidery too. I really like the blackwork (is that the right term?) Looks like you're enjoying your embroidery machine. doris

I am hypothyroid, take synthyroid, but after several days of going full speed, I will crash. I will get up with my husband, fix his breakfast, then go back to bed, and will sleep well into the afternoon, then sleep all that night. After that, I am ready to go again... Have asked my dr. why I do this, and he does not seem to know. He said it has nothing to do with hypothyroidism, as synthyroid is taking care of my thyroid. It has been a pattern with me every since I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Yeah, I am wierd.
