Please please can someone help me as I have a banging headache from staring at computer looking for the answer to a problem with my blog. I am trying to put a post on with some writing first and then the photos after. When I upload the photos (from computer, rather than photobucket, thank you ladies for that bit of advice) it automatically puts the photos above any of the writing. I cannot work out why and have tried all the things I can find to alter.

Panic not Tired Mom! You are using the "old" editor and it automatically puts your photos at the top of the post. Simply highlight the coding for your photo, it will start and end with <ahref .......... ........... ...... (number) /></a> . You can then "cut" this and "paste" it under your wording. You'll have to fiddle about to get the spacing right, just "publish", see what it looks like then go back in to edit if it's not right.

Whilst on can someone also please tell me as to what you have your who can comment set as IFYKWIM. i.e do you have anonymous or google id etc.

I have mine set on registered users, but you could set it to "Anyone including anonymous". I did that at first on my house renovation blog and got some comments from a spammer trying to direct people to a furniture website!

Hope that helps.

Leia Wow well Done thats great but i bet it took hours and hours. x

I too ordered my Promarkers From Creative CraftWorld and havent received them. I know that theres been a few problems. But i also ordered some from Joanna Sheen on the same day, as there was a few colours i NEEDED :rotfl: and they havent arrived here yet either. So im not having much luck. I keep trying to think that not only have we had a bank holiday monday but a good friday too. So 2 holidays

I saw something similar to this at the Rosemary Merry shop the other day. It was a wooden box that had been decorated beautifully with what looked like holes drilled in the side. I wondered what it was for and having seen your link I think it must be for ribbon.

You should be able to drag the photo to below the writing. Click on it and move it down, should work. I think Blogger was designed by a man

Lei, brilliant news on the money :T I reckon if you could get hold of some more dispensers and did them up you could sell them to Harrods

TheWife, well done missus :j :j :j

Padster, well done to you too :j :j :j

Rusty, sorry I have no idea where your pot is but I am the woman who mislaid 2 brand new Basic Grey pads in her own small 3 bed house and had to buy them again :rotfl:

We've had a busy day today, took the boys to an indoor play place this morning and then shopping for new shoes this afternoon, for them not me. Made 3 cards tonight, will blog them tomorrow.

Hiya - you can move the photo once you have uploaded it to place it under your text. This is done before you click on the post button, on the preview page.


Rainmac - snap lol, you beat me to it!!!!

Nici Thank you for your input . Carly's choice of school has not really occured to us yet as she's only 3 in july but we had to think about it as it will affect the school her sister kaitlyn will go to. Carly will be going to a normal mainstream school as she has her cochlear implants and they are fab and she is learning fast but it will have the benefit of a specialist unit so she can continue to learn her BSL in case she has any problems with her implants. Although her mum is studying bsl so she learns quite a lot at home.
When she does start school we shall be keeping an eagle eye out that she gets all the help she needs / is entitled to. I will pm you tomorrow. Thank you .

Rainmac carly does get dla at the middle rate for care as she can't recharge or put on her own implants and is awake regularly for 3 or 4 hours in the middle of the night.


Oi Rusty don't wear him out he has a date here with 3 baskets full tomorrow the two timing wretch. lol

Wifey - congrats on your win :j

Lei - absolutely stunning sweetie dispenser. So glad your hard work has been recognised :T

Craftygranny - so sorry you are having problems with Carly's school. Glad to hear Carly's old teacher is willing to help, that should add strength to your case.

Hassy - just send that Morphy my way, he is needed this morning - he don't half get around :rotfl:

Hugs to all and hope everyone has a good day.

Morning All!

This is my first time posting on this board so please go easy!!

I have bought a Sizzix big shot machine and a few inserts......Im due to get it today according to the DHL website!!

I origionally bought it for labels for my nappy and towel cakes as they had a massive rattle that I can print the Cake ingredients onto!! (expensive I know! but I was paying £2.00 for 5 labels) plus the fact that i would love to get into card making and do some baby cards for the cakes.....aswell as kids art projects!! I really want to get my moneysworth out of it IYKWIM!!

Have any of you any ideas or links that I could use that could help with me getting my money back?? (not that i begrudge paying for it)......im not very clear am I....sorry!! I attend Craft fairs and im also looking for other ideas!! I saw the glass brick idea...and thought about using the sizzix as templates to write kids names on the lights ect.

I also ordered a couple of sets of pens from Joanne Sheen on the same day, but mine arrived a couple of days later. I didn't contact Creative CardWorld, because I saw on their site that they were expecting a delivery to be able to fulfil their orders. However yesterday out of the blue I had an email asking if I'd got mine yet. Obviously I hadn't and when I replied to them, I got a further email saying that it seems a whole van load of them are missing! Typically the colours I need are currently out of stock, so I'm waiting for my order rather then cancelling it.

Mumoffour welcome!

re: your question with help in getting your money back. Tall order that because this place is infected even plagued with spendy elves. The pesky little critters will take you places you've only dreamed of and make you spend your carefully saved pennies.

No credit card is safe and as for Paypal, it should be named Play, Pal!

Once you've got a die cutting machine like the big shot, you'll want more and more.

Check out the blogs on here and follow the links on their blogs, you'll be hopping about everywhere and pick up some brilliant ideas. Keep a pen and paper handy to note down anyone's blog, I always forget where I've been
