Dear Dave, I hope you can help me. I have posted some photos on My Page by email, rather than using the other method. Frankly, I didn't understand what it entailed. So I thought I could side-step it by the email route.
My problem is, other photos I emailed one at a time never appeared on my page. While 9 others mixed in with them did .
I have one shot I would particularly like to post, but it doesn't show up. All the shots I have sent are jgps at 72 dpi and all are about the same size.
Think you could help me?
Note: I declined the first way to post photos by clicking the box on the pop-up panel. If you think I should use this method, would you explain it to me and the steps to set it up?
ALSO I hope you get a chance to see my children's book illustrations I have posted, and hopefully be amused.
Thanks, Bob Sadler
P.S. May I also ask -- Can I rearrange photos on this site; delete single photos already posted; rename the images, and can I include a multi-page pdf document?
I don't know about you, but I am really enjoying the opportunities this forum offers.
Dave -
I was just thinking that what we need to be able to add is a way to add in articles or files that each individual person may wish to keep available to themselves.
Maybe it is a great article on seach or stats on a particular business that you don't wish to lose.
