Let's just say I was very lucky when I ran into trouble several times. I googled and try to find a yt video. But I don't blindly do what they say, only if I understood it and only if I thought I could back out of it.

At first I missed Windows (had used that through XP). Seven might have been ok but no way do I want the mess that has happened later. Even though I understood a little better how most of it worked and could find my way around my system so well, I think macs are more stable but not perfect.

In any case, let me know when you get ready to post another photo. Or force yourself to do it and let your daughter tutor you.

I wrote out the steps but it makes it sound too hard which it isn't. If you have an overview of the whole process, it is a great help, then get to the finer points of actually getting it done.

In these days of iphones, maybe a lot has changed from loading a photo as I do from my pc to a photo hosting site, then get the code and code the html in my post here on FR. After my post "takes" it pulls in a COPY of my photo from where I put it on the web, in my case flickr.

Now people seem to shoot photos out to Facebook and Twitter, etc., so the process for that might be simpler.

Those chickens looked so good upthread!!! Those were nice photos, too.

BTW, flickr isn't a very intuitive site and I don't have patience to try to master everything I do on the web. I learned to do stuff on the fly because if you don't, you will never get anything done.

Yes, the forced upgrades are a scam. We're all hooked and if we want to enjoy the web, we can kick and fume only so long, then have to make a move or get left behind or eventually off the web.

Hope you have a nice summer of gardening. It's lovely here the last couple of days.

Yes, those chickens did look good. My patience is thin when it comes to computers. Part of the problem is that I can no longer stand to concentrate long enough to read the instructions.

Also, my short term memory is so bad, that I can’t remember beyond the first step. Sometimes, I have to read and read the first step half a dozen times before I can do it.

Then I don’t know what step 2 is. Sometimes, I just try stuff to see what works, but then, if it does, I don’t remember how to do it for the next time. sigh.
