Ho Cath, it only looks tidy cos no-one is in it! 30 seconds after the whirlwind of children, dogs, DOGS (one is gigantic),cats and my own messy self, there is barely a surface left without teacups, biscuits, newspapers and books,dog flowers, old bikes and the astounding number of special seating things for a child who has the smallest ass in the house yet requires at least 6 different immense chairs. For the non-posters among us, it has been an impenetrable mystery to me and every year has been frustrating because I simply forget what is in the garden (well, more the allotment which is bigger and really is messy). Digital cameras are (I think) fairly easy to use but I have come to the conclusion that being given someone else's old one is a bad mistake - there is always a crucial component missing and hardly ever a manual of use. I am going to buy a new (cheap) one and we can all learn together - that is one of the really good things about this forum. Allowances will be made for non-techies. I think we could all agree to be online at roughly the same time and try to encourage each other through the process. Dont feel bad about not being able to do it - it is not something you can work out intuitively, at least those of us who have not worked with PCs - we need the step by step guidance of someone with patience (probably not me, then) but we owe it to ourselves to make our garden images visible at any time of year, just for our own pleasure....and if we get to share, then that is brilliant.

No, I can't see it. It's a red block. I have my photos in Photobucket, a free service. Once you've downloaded your photos in Photobucket, below each pic you'll see: Email & IM Direct Link HTML Code You want to highlight and copy the HTML Code and paste it into your posting. One time I arranged some of my Photobucket pics into different folders and it messed up the picture links in my postings. If you moved any of your pics, that may explain why people can't see them now.

Oh my goodness -- what a gorgeous vine! It's so good to see you posting again. Here's how you can post pictures from Photobucket: Copy the direct link from Photobucket Click on the photo icon that's below At the bottom of the box that comes up you will see a little box labeled 'file name' Paste the direct link from Photobucket into the box using 'control v' on your keyboard. Click 'Open' and in a few seconds your photo will appear You can post up to ten photos. Like anything else it's easy after you've done it a couple of times. I hope you'll tell us more about your garden plans in this strange state of alternating drought and rain.

I am looking to see how to load pictures! And then I can have some discussion, and then put in another picture!
