GreenieBeanie, I tried the .Mac service and was actually very disappointed in it - but that is a completely personal observation here. On June 18th I instead registered the domain name http://www.myblogpix.com (aptly named) and use it for hosting all my blog pix on my blogs (I maintain three blogs at present). For $11.95 a month I have 2 Gig's of storage, 25 Gigs a month in transfer allocated, and can have up to 25 email addresses that will hold 2 Gigs each. It works for me. I love iPhoto too BTW. It has been my primary means of keeping my photos organized on my Mac. Since I moved to Louisiana on March 15th of this year I've taken over 2,200 photos! Yes, that's a lot, but I figure a digital camera is such a wonderful thing and years from now the photos will still be in pristine condition - no fading, cracking or crumbling. And of course - I make regular backups to DVD to insure I never have to worry about losing my precious photo collection. A few days ago I started writing a Mac Software blog. I plan to add a brief review and link regularly to some kind of useful Mac application I run across. While some may be commercial (shareware) I am planning to try and cover only freeware applications as a rule of thumb. I'm finding my passion for gardening and my passion for computing work so well together it's as though that's how it all was meant to be from the get-go. I am Borg. You will be assimilated...

That cleared up the "Oops message". However I have an underlying problem. When I click on an Internet shortcut to go on line a page comes up suggesting that I'm not connected to the Internet, etc etc. and that the site cannot be found. So I click a couple of more times and up it comes. It is a intermittent thing, some sites come up right away others, I have to click on several times before they come up. I had this problem a couple of months ago and my ISP service guy, found a fault in the underground cable coming into to the house and repaired it. It was happening again, just before my computer was attacked with the infection. So I'm thinking that there is another fault somewhere in that cable and I should contact the ISP to check the whole connection out again. I mention all of this, just in case someone else is having similar problems. Thank you all for replying and being willing to assist me. "Horton"

Hey, I figured it out! I had actually given up and was going to type it all in then I noticed something when i was on Google calendar. Here is how you take a Virtually There itinerary and automatically input everything, including ticket numbers, flight duration, record locators, terminals, seats, etc into your google calendar. 1. On the Virtually There itinerary, in the right margin, click "add to calendar". 2. Select each flight and click "download" on the far right 3. Go to your Google calendar, on the far left, in the margin, it says "other calendars" and has a drop down menu. 4. Select "import calendar" 5. The choose the file(s) you downloaded and choose what calendar you want them on. You have to do each flight separately it seems. 6. You can edit the resulting entry like you would any other. Thought i'd post on the off chance someone else could use this!

Pulling out pictures of my backsplash got me thinking about my kitchen remodel which we did two summers ago! Anyways, I found so much inspiration from the kitchen forum and the Finished Kitchens Blog. Especially their backsplash slide show, so fromflorida, make sure you go to this site and watch the backsplash slide show. You can find the link in the upper right corner of the home page. There must be something there that you will love. I sortof combined a couple of different ideas, but my primary inspiration was Artteacher's backsplash. I still love it, and interestingly enough, she used the harlequin tiles inside her border. I have the tile info I believe somewhere if you're interested. She emailed it to me two years ago! Here's Artteacher's backsplash - my inspiration! And here's some other backsplashes that I saved that I really liked. Here is a link that might be useful: Finished Kitchens Blog
