Yes, it is unforgiving. What threw me on that first try, when I previewed it, it didn’t have that wide width of gold on the side...it only had a small mistake at the bottom but the picture was the right size...but when it posted it had all that gold on the side. Its hard, isn’t it?

I am taking a break but I will be studying and trying all along and I told Billie maybe by summer I might be able to do something..LOL!!!!

Have to tell this...when my oldest son was in 5th, 6th grade, can’t remember exactly, he had to write an adventure story. He wrote about being down on the ground after his small plane went down. He told about getting his stuff out of the plane and trying to figure out what went wrong. In the story, he told of walking this long way and getting worn out and he said “I was too tired to shoot a flare.” I will never forget that as long as I live. I just thought it was so cute. So from now on if I say “I’m too tired to shoot a flare”, you all will know what I mean. And you all can say the same. I have a lot of tales from their childhood and isn’t it lovely to remember? Sometimes I long for them to be little again...don’t we all?

That’s so cute, jaycee..Something as simple as using only one quotation mark instead of two can mess it all up..
or failing to separate words (imgsrc instead of img src}can cause a blank.

I am great at doubling a bracket..and it messes things up..I know my usual mistakes by now and that makes it easier to find and correct.

I’ve posted some big mistakes..and am grateful when the mod deletes them for me.
IIRC I posted a 250 wide border once instead of a 25 width..didn’t really hit me in preview.
I had copied the framed graphic on a notepad with the mistake and saved it without correcting.. and darned if I did not post it again!
Sigh

When my son made pictures out of my old slides..I wanted my kids small again so I could read them more stories, hug them over and over and hold them in my lap and relive some moments...and not be so busy as I was back then!
I love them now that they are 50ish and still hug them every chance I get.
I must go fix lunch..I will be back late afternoon.
