I have started emailing graphics and framed graphics to myself now that freepmail messes them up with all those added “;” and somehow disabling the “<”..I hate having to go back and “clean up” the frame I freepmail..
I make one on one computer and may need to post it from another..It also is helpful when I leave home and need to post a graphic. I can access my photobucket backgrounds account from anywhere so that works.
I need to email myself more graphics links! I have everything fairly organized and then lapse into just storing on my computer. I lost a lot of stuff when a computer fried. Now I have a thumb drive with most of my desktop files in it.
P. S. Where do I get my background colors, etc.
You have Freepmail! : )
It’s Weird how those Semi-Colons Appear from Nowhere when we Freepmail Frames to ourselves, and the Quotations have to be Changed. :( I’ve been Emailing all my Lord’s Day Graphics/Tables to myself Lately, and have Thought I Might Need to Keep an Emergency Table, Lol, in my Freepmail, just in Case my Email were to Go Down Right at the Wrong Moment! : )
Before they changed it..only thee breaks disappeared..The first time I tried to post a frame with the ;s added it drove me nuts until I finally saw the extra;s and changed the <s. Good way to keep us from storing up things in freepmail..LOL
FRiends, I suppose you are closed down for the night. I have been over on that first tutorial of Billie’s that Meg sent to me recently and I have been playing. When you get time, you might want to check out about 4 posts with tables I have been playing with......I had fun!
IS THIS GORGEOUS OR WHAT?
I will read this throughout my weekend - THANK YOU!
Thank you, so glad you like it, Snarlin. I know you've checked some of the older state threads, too. :) I've found them all so interesting - and enjoy the opportunity to be creative with the presentations.
The thing with the quotation marks is the strangest thing, and I don’t quite understand why they go crazy in freepmail, but as kitty and I decided when we were copying and pasting the text back and forth in freepmail not too long ago, if you just leave the quotation marks OUT of the command, everything is okay. (You HAVE to leave them out of the whole command or it will still mess up, and the pictures and tables will post without being enclosed in quotations.)
I've seen them - good job! Save that text and then just substitute different backgrounds for those that are there. (You just replace the whole http://thingie after the background= with another background image that you've saved.)
Another thing is that the graphics you placed in your tables can still have table borders around them - like the "little girl" we played with framing.
You'll get the hang of it and when you do, you won't be able to stop! :)
Ya’ know? He’s good. I really enjoy his sound.
Good tip! NO quotation marks in freepmail from now on. If I want to help someone with framing this really helps.
I just accept that is how to do it not the “why” we must do it ....so I don’t teach nearly as well as you do..
I remember that framing a picture inside a larger frame with text was a mystery until you reminded me I had to cancel that frame before I put the text inside the larger frame ..
Constant adversity is not a good thing.
Beautiful work, Billie, thank you! This thread caught my attention, as I especially love Delaware beaches!
It's a lot to try and digest, but it's also a good habit to get into - turning OFF all commands (even if we know that FR will turn them off for us if we don't) :)
I wish I could impress on everyone to put the width and height in their graphics, but that is a lost cause. It's particularly important if it's a large graphic and we're opening it for the first time and trying to read other comments below it.
I don't think that people with DSL know what I'm talking about because their graphics open faster than those using modems and probably open so fast it doesn't affect comments posted after it. Sigh. :(
Thank you, TAdams! I’m really glad you like the presentation on Delaware. It seems like a wonderful place to visit. :)
I had no idea that it made the graphic easier to open when height was written in..and I was on dial up for several months last year when I came back home to stay after a very long visit at my daughter’s.
My computer was from the dark ages here so it made it doubly difficult. Military Monday was almost impossible for me to load..pookie’s toons were impossible. I keep my graphics below 70 now that you gave me that great link
Under 300,000

No size in picture reduction..just bytes reduced in both.
No luck with reducing animated graphics at either site..
It doesn’t make the graphic open faster with the width and height are there, but what it does is open the post with the size built in, so that anything that follows stays put. Without the width and height specified in the graphic, when the post opens the first time, you get that tiny little box where the graphic will be - if it is HUGE (and we don’t know until it fully opens) and we are trying to read something after that graphic starts opening, we keep losing our place as it opens to the full size. If it’s a really small one in both physical size AND in bytes, it’s not a problem, but the big ones are. :(
The “crawl” up the page syndrome. There is one poster on FR that posts a lot of big byte pictures all in one post and trying read the rest of the page is impossible until it loads..even on cable it’s a pain..They do great posts but need a byte reducer and number of pictures in one post reducer big time!.
Fast connections, large monitors and powerful pcs - would be nice if everyone had them. :) I like my 17” LCD monitor - and my pc is pretty powerful - just don’t have cable or DSL available and hubby is not about to have a DISH installed so that I can open graphics faster on my computer! LOL
