  • When you want to insert the picture in your post, lick on the square icon with a mountain & sun (along the top of the editing box, can you see it?) this should bring up a little box with a big blue question mark, saying "please enter the URL of the image"... you need to paste your link into there and click ok... should work :)

    Ok, I'm probably being totally dense here, but I'm blowed if I can see a mountain and sun - I went onto my photos and selected the one I want so it came up as the main photo - was I in the wrong place?

    awwww thank you ever so much for your kind comments :)


    taurusgb - wow I wish I had the talent to convert one thing into another! I would love to see your cushion-turned-bag :D

    !


    Thanks Pink_numbers - not really clever though, it just meant crocheting a longer body, adding arms and legs and settling for a bobble hat instead of a fez!

    haven't photo'd the bag yet - will try and do it tomorrow
