That was nothing. Just highlighted your command, copied, and pasted it on the post. But taking my own picture and framing it is out of my realm at the moment.....

[Kitty Mittens]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Meg, All your Flower Tables are Exquisite! Billie, your Background Colors you Linked to are Beautiful!

[jaycee]

I think I may call it a day and watch my team, Colorado, get whipped again tonight! Pessimistic, aren’t I?

Good Night, FRiends! May leave the computer on and check it now and then.

Hello, Kitty Mittens, just saw your message and thought I would say hi to ya! Have a good evening!

Jaycee, Making Frame is Only a Little Difficult at First, just as Learning to Post Pics was, at First, but then it All becomes More Clear, and it's Fun! : ) I haven't had as Much Time to Spend on it as I'd Like of Late, but Hope to Do More on the Computer During the Coming Months.

I'd Love to Help in Any Way I can, jaycee, and Let me Know if you would Ever Like to Use the Background Colors I've Gathered from the 'Net. : )

[jaycee]

Thank you so much, Kitty! Like I always say the best people in the world are at the Finest FRiends. I will just take it slow but like I told Billie, it is so foreign about putting in different backgrounds, frames, then the picture I want, and the message. Someday I may grasp it! I just can’t seem to get it in my mind how you get all that together. I will need a Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, etc.etc. Understand?

[Billie]

I know you will both help jaycee. We’ll get you there if you really want to learn to ‘frame’ your pictures. It was the most confusing of all of html commands for me to learn, too. Like, for instance, WHY in the world are those ‘frames’ around the picture called “Tables”??? I can’t answer that - they just “are”!

[luvie]

EEEKKK!

[Billie]

Step 1: <center> You always want to start with your table centered.

Step 2: <table and then extra stuff here> After you type the word "table", you tell what color or background you want to use. This command is ALWAYS followed by <tr><td> ALWAYS - without it, it won't work.

Step 3: Repeat steps 1 & 2 as many times as you want to put a new 'frame' around your picture.

Step 4: the img src command that you use to post a picture.

What you did so far is called turning ON table commands. Every table command you turn ON, you have to turn OFF when you're finished putting something inside the tables (picture, text, whatever) You turn OFF the commands in the opposite order you turned them on. If you used 3 tables around your picture, you have to turn them off 3 times. Like this:

<td><tr><table><center>
<td><tr><table><center>
<td><tr><table><center>

More later when you're ready. :)

[Billie]

LOL!

[Billie]

Oh, POO! I didn't turn them OFF! Dang it! This turns off those 3 tables:

</td></tr></table></center>
</td></tr></table></center>
</td></tr></table></center>

[jaycee]

Yes I would like to learn. If I get too frustrated, I will rest from it and start again.

Speaking of tables....we set our regular tables with dishes and I guess we set our other tables with pictures! Thats the only reason I can figure it out! Doesn’t matter what we call it as long as we can learn how to do it. (As long as I can learn, I should say).
Thanks everyone and Goodnight.

I NEVER understood! I just knew one mistake made a mess.

Copying and pasting from your own notepad to a post and using preview until you have the right background colors and widths right there in preview is what I do..I save (copy and paste)the result onto a notepad and reuse it..sometimes completely changing it again while previewing.

.I keep the notepads filed in folders in the Documents file ..label as you wish.Start with copying Billie’s simple table and putting your own graphic inside..You just delete her image link and put in your own link.Click preview and see how it looks.

I copy and paste all the basic tables..just inserting my backgrounds and widths.Copy,paste and delete are my tools..and experimenting requires a lot of deletes.

[MEG33]

Hugs..Rest well..

[MEG33]

*HUGS* I sure took the day off. You know I enjoy it! I need to get dishes into the dishwasher and say goodnight.

[jaycee]

That is so cute I can’t describe it!

TGIF at the Finest

I just had a Thought, jaycee; I Keep my Favorite Tables Stored in my Email! That Might be Something you would Want to Eventually Do. I just Copy and Paste the Table into an Email to myself, and then I Store it in an Email Folder I Labeled "Tables and Frames." Let me Know if you Ever Want Any of my Tables you Might See on my Lord's Day Graphics on Sundays. You could Simply Paste in a Few New Background Colors and Any Graphics you Might Select from the 'Net. Please Also Use Any of the Pics I Snap around the King's Ranch, as Well, if you would Ever Like to.

I Got Delayed for a Long Time before I could Even Learn to Do this, because in '05 I was in Constant Pain from 3 Herniated Discs in my Back, and Felt too Bad to Do it. But Now our Lord has Granted me a Reprieve from that Nightmare, and I've Learned a Lot this Year about Making Frames, although I still Need More Practice. (Thank you for your Help, Dear Billie and Dear Meg! I'll Always be So Grateful!)
