Kathryn, the girls are adorable!

The pic is a little too large for what the forum post box space can handle. (See how it pushes over into the sidebar a little on this page?)  I think the best size for posting pics would be (max) 500 x 375 pixels.  (And if you know how to reduce kilobyte size in your picture program, that's always good to do, too.)  Thanks for making a test!

Thanks! I saw that, then had to leave to go out to Miss Suzie's. I can Photobucket it right down. Thank you for figuring out the size for me!

I can't get an avatar on, although I've done it elsewhere, any tips?

Let's see if I can get this right, Suzanne. I had to mess with it a little bit the first time! First, I keep things in Photobucket.  So, we need to keep whatever picture we want to print no larger than 500 X 375 as per your instructions, and thank you for figuring that part out! A hint. If you are doing a standing-up picture, as is Remudamom's beautiful horse, make it 375 X 500. You can do all that in Photobucket under the “Edit” function. I think you have to enter those parameters by hand, but that is no big deal.

Okay. I am messing with a scan of a thing I did for a scrapbook page. It was too big, so I edited it down to 500 X (I think) 305, because Photobucket is a lot smarter than I, and decided the second number was what I wanted.

Now, I am going to click on the “Direct Link” space under my picture in Photobucket and copy that. Next, I will click on that little tree thingie at the top of the “Topic Reply” box, and paste that captured URL into the “Image URL” slot. Then, I will cross my toes, legs, and anything else handy and click “Insert”, all the while hoping I don't blow something up.

Hey! That worked! Now, I am going to see if it will post. If you don't see any edits, this is what I did. If it looks wonky, then I will work on it some more.

EDIT: The 500 is still skewing. I am going to try a smaller size.

Okay, I have knocked it down to 400 X something or other, and it is at 3351 bytes.

EDIT: 400 didn't work for this, either. I am now trying a preset size via Photobucket resize at 320 X 240.

I found something interesting. When you click on the little tree thing, and you go on and insert your image, there is a “Dimensions” line there. I clicked on that, and a large dimension was filled in, so I entered 320 and 240, and finally got it small enough to maybe not skew. Here we go!

Thank you, Kathryn!  The only thing I did differently was I resized the photo before I uploaded it, that way I could get the exact size I wanted.  Photobucket was really easy to use!  photobucket.com

I didn't know about photobucket.  thanks for that info, I will learn all I can and just see what I can do! 

I do all my adjustments in photoshop. Here's a link for making avatars that is pretty easy to use.

Okay that didn't work.  I can't keep trying right now. but I wanted to share pictures of the huge surf on Pensacola Beach today.  They are on my blog.
