whine bitch complain

I can't believe that one picture screwed up my whole template. Unbelievable. Now I have to try fucking with it and I'm so not computer oriented. And I'm tired and I'm hungry, which has little to do with it, but as long as I'm complaining, I thought I'd throw it in.

Oh, well now, that was easy.

You have to be careful that pictures you post aren't wide enough to bleed over the edge of the posting column. Keeping the width to a maximum of about 400 pixels should do it. You can resize the pictures before you save them with an outside program like Irfanview. It's free and works fantastic (www.irfanview.com).

Of course, if you are just hot-linking to the pictures that are hosted on another website that is another thing entirely. Just find smaller pictures.

Yes, I resized it and that did the trick. Thanks Dave.

I saw your comment about Hello. I tried that for exactly two days, and found it cumbersome to say the least. I use irfanview like dave said to resise my pics to the size range he mentioned, and then I upload them to image shack (www.imageshack.us) a storage site like Hell-o. Once there, imageshack gives you copyable links for the image, as well as for a thumbnail of the image which can be handy. That way, you can just put the code in your post on blogger and it appears in your post when people visit your blog.

The great thing is that you can also command the image to appear any size you want through a simple HTML command when you insert the code from image shack, not to mention you place it anywhere in your post rather than have hello post a picture and then you post a second time for comments.

Where in PR were you from? I've always wanted to visit, my Aunt spent a number of years there in the 50s and 60s as a teacher. I think she was near Ponce. Take care!

I use photobucket, which always works fine. It's not that. It's blogger dashboard. I put in the proper code and when I go to publish, it CHANGES what I wrote, then tells me it's wrong! So then I have go to "edit html" and change it back to what I wrote and then it's okay. Makes no sense.

My grandparents lived just outside a tiny town called Maricao, in the western mountains. I guess you skipped on over here from Mike's blog. ;)
