• January 10, 1871 – Pall Mall Gazette – “Imaginary Change of Climate”
  “…a plentiful crop of speculation from weather prophets and projectors, and half-
  instructed meteorologists…We have often noticed…every season is sure to be
  ‘extraordinary,’ almost every month one of the driest or wettest, or windiest, coldest
  or hottest ever known. Much observation, which ought to correct a tendency to
  exaggerate, seems in some minds to have rather a tendency to increase it.”

H. L. Mencken (1880 – 1956), Journalist – magazine editor

The [news media] is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant
and the crazy crazier.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them
imaginary.

Thank you so much! This is absolutely wonderful! http://imageshack.com/a/img836/2741/xi6o.jpg

Hmm why didn’t it work? (I’m on Mac?) It’s still a fantastic page.

Here's what I'm seeing:

Here is what is should be:

Get rid of that extra quote and semi-colon at the end or your URL.

Oops:

Thanks so much!

Size: You can easily vary the size of a given image by specifying it. You may specify size in terms of pixels, em, or percent of enclosing container.

<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a3/Bobdobbs.png" width="15%"> Yields:

If you are specifying the size of an image it is best to do it in only one dimension and let the computer figure out what the other dimension should be. This will result in images that have not been distorted. Another neat trick is to specify the image size as a percentage of the width of the container the image sits in. This results in a uniform presentation of the image across all possible platforms without having to compute the image size at all.

I see you finally got it with the help of other freepers. Yay for you. Boo for Leafminers.

[KGeorge]

I did, I did! (Question is will it work next time?) Here is the photo for everyone else- courtesy of ShadowAce ps One of the sites I looked at recommended planting a "wildflower" (actually, it's a weed) called Velvet Leaf as decoy plant for these pests. Knock on wood, but so far, the marigolds seem to be working.

[KGeorge]

Thank you, Mycroft. That helps a lot. I’m still trying to get my head around this.

Sorry for the double post (esp on the pic. I wasn’t paying attention & thought my reply to sock monkey was on the garden thread)

[RedWing9]

You can see the picture's URL when you put your cursor on the picture and right click the mouse. You see a small box with "properties" at the bottom. Left click on "properties" and you get a dialog box with the image URL and dimensions.

FYI - Firefox does not have "Properties" when you right-click an image. You have to select "Copy Image Location" and then paste in your reply. The following is the results of this action with the FR Logo in your post.
