Does anyone know how to make photographs post smaller here? I’m not an html pro, but I follow the FR Sandbox instructions. The one I’m reading does not tell how to downsize the image. I hate taking up such a large space for the pictures (bandwidth, I guess).

[Vision]

Looking very good...

[Vision]

Yes. Inside of the brackets you can add a width=600 or whatever size you want and it will reduce it.



Keith has a pink Alabama hat?

Thems almost fight’n words. I’ll save my real low brow comments for the enemy. ALLBARN!

I busted out laughing when I read that! I told Keith, "You can't say the hat is bleached from your working in the sun, because it'll sound like a cop-out." :-)

Thanks for the tip on the photo posting. I tried to add size commands on the barbeque picture, but I must have done them wrong since they did not affect the image. Still learning here...

True. Note, however, that spec changes only the display of the image on the webpage.

In other words, the WIDTH=xxx spec doesn't reduce the size of the image file itself, and therefore it doesn't affect the bandwidth required when it is downloaded to the viewer's browser.

If you want to reduce the bandwidth, you actually have to resize the image file itself, save it as a new image file, and change the IMG SRC=xxx tag to point at the new image file.

Thanks for that, SteelYourFaith! We have listened to that weird, creepy tale before.

Hope all's well with you, and you got your computer problems all straighted out.

Oh my gosh, this is famous. Too late for me tonight. Any way of taping this or picking it up later somehow?

My uncle’s family are all UA grads. I’m a football fan.

Evening, folks. How much did you get in your yard, Vision?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[Vision]

Yes, you can always access back shows by visiting the link to the BB’s home page in the first post.

Greetings! I would like to be put on the "Big Broadcast" Ping List, please!

I'm so glad to find this thread! I'm new to FreeRepublic (since July) and am still discovering so many wonderful topics and people.

Your threads are of tremendous interest to me, because my Dad is writer/announcer Bill Owen, who co-authored the bible of old-time radio, "The Big Broadcast 1920-1950". As you may know, he is also widely known as the "King of Trivia" from ABC-TV "World News This Morning", and his three recent books. (I illustrated two of them!) One of them, "The Over-60 Trivia Book", features a lot of trivia and illustrations of old-time radio.

My Dad's love of old-time radio and recording inspired me to become a singer/songwriter. I just released my new CD "Horse Sense" and the first song, "It's A Free Country", is getting a wonderful response on FreeRepublic, via my YouTube video posted here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2799803/posts.

Thanks in advance for adding me to your list!!

I thought you might enjoy this photo of my Dad giving one of his many talks on Old-Time Radio.

Happy Halloween Viking.

None, we just got lots of rain and a few slushy crystals on the back deck. Are you up here? The west was supposed to get hit much harder.

[PapaNew]

Thanks Vision. Perfect for tomorrow night.

[Vision]

Oh, wow. Welcome!

Steel, there’s someone here you may want to say hi to.

[Vision]

Here we go...Suspense!

[WXRGina]

Bravo! That’s a beautiful radio your Dad’s arm is on.
