Far from an expert, but try clickables. I work with two windows: one with GW and the other with photobucket.com. To load up photos from your computer on to photobucket.com, see where it says "Upload Images & Video" then choose files to the right of that. In this case it would be "from: my computer." Click "Choose files" and it should take you to photos you've saved on your computer. Then click on the photo you want to load up to photobucket. Click "Open" and it will load up. You can edit or do other stuff, but I just click on "Skip this step now" listed on the left side over the photo. Now your photo is in your album in photobucket. To load up to GW, click on the box right under the photo (you are still on photobucket.com), then scroll down to the bottom of the page where there are these blue boxes (on mine anyway) and select/click the last one "Generate HTML and IMG code." Then, copy the first one (HTML clickable thumbnails ...) and go to your GardenWeb screen to the "Message" box where you want to post your picture, and paste that info in the box. I can't use the brackets here to show you, but they surround the word "center" at the beginning of the HTML coding and at end. By deleting the words "center," this will flush your photo to the left instead of leaving it in the middle. Examples: Hibiscus flower If you want to add wording to your photo, you can experiment where you want it, e.g., I added Hibiscus flower to the beginning of the HTML code. You would follow the same procedure to add more than one picture (know one can do multiple selection of pictures, but I haven't tried that yet). Also know that you can always use the "Preview Message" here on GW and if you don't like the picture selection or you want to add wording, as long as you don't click on the "Submit Messagge" button, you can always edit. Hope this helps, if not ask and maybe I can explain better.

That's one of the "charms" of this forum...you'll get many opinions and alternate solutions to the same problem. It's your renovation, and it's your responsibility to do the research and ultimately make your own decisions. I agree with gglks...go with your gut instinct in the end. Regarding the 2 vs 3 argument...if you have a laminated or added edge, then you can save a bit by going with 2 cm, since the constructed edge will be 3 cm or wider for a finished look. If you have a flat edge with slight bevel or rounding, then you'll probably want to go with a 3 cm thickness, since that is what you're looking at from the side (with no added bullnose or thick edging). We used 3 cm for our quartz counters, but then went with 2 cm for the 4" backsplash against the wall so it wouldn't look too thick. I wanted a clean no-bullnose edge for a simple and modern look. I probably could have saved a bit with 2 cm, but then I would have had to add the price of built up edging. It's all in the math, what your budget allows, and look that you want. We're all opinionated in here and we all think we're experts. And we all have different tastes. I learned early on to weed thru the massive amount of information, and I greatly appreciated all the tips and experiences that were shared. Some I could apply to my own renovation situation, and some I had to ignore.

Posting images to the forum: The simplest current method seems to be on the Photobucket website. Unless you know about image URLs and the HTML and tags, try and use the various Web image storing site explanations. Image posting etiquette: Images that are larger that 100kb (right-click your image and select "properties" to find size info) will make other forum members impatient waiting for the full image to appear on their computer--especially if they have a dial-up connection to the Internet, as this is somewhat slow. If you know how to re-size your image to make it smaller before posting it, please do so. Since most posted images are of general interest to the forum, occasional hot-linking of photos, even largish ones, is OK. This forum has a photo gallery section--consider using it to post larger photos and then refer to that image in your text message in the regular forum. There is a set of image posting instructions in the forum Gallery section.
