where do you live? A view of my home.


Recommended Posts

OK. So I have opened a photobucket account, resized and downloaded photo, copied and pasted the IMG address - but all that shows if I try to create a post is the address - no picture. Can some kind soul attempt to put me straight, please.

While you are dealing with this "computer-illiterate", could you also tell me how to make these pages narrower as I can't see the whole page (on 19" screen, if that makes any odds) without scrolling from side to side. (Actually, it may be the way some of the posts have been entered as some pages fit and some don't.)

Many thanks.

Or, what I do, after re-sizing the photo, is to right-click on the photo itself, select copy, then (in the forum post I'm making) right-click again, and select paste...

The reason it is sometimes necessary to scroll across to see the full width of some pages, is because some photos haven't been resized, and are too wide.

Well that seems to work Cat, even if the pics are a bit on the small size. Perhaps I overdid the resizing.

I will have another play when the kids are around to show me more tips. Seemed a good idea chucking them out onto the streets to fend for themselves so that I might then get a chance to use the PC myself. Trouble is, now they don't live here, I can't use it anyway without their help!

Not so rustic as some but was perfectly habitable when we brought it and our own little castle, although needs lots spent on it, in the middle of a small village but still quite isolated and only two houses with premenant habitants that are the best.

I hope this has worked and thanks to those who have offered help with putting in pictures.

All you need to do in photobuquet to do a copy is to left click on the bottom line, IMG Code, and a little yellow box will appear saying 'copied'. Then go to the forum page, press the return key to ptu the cursor on a new line, right click and select paste. The complete line is copied automatically. Gud-ere-init...

Well a nice friendly sign on the gate shows that we want to intergrate (not a smelling mastike)

Alan, to resize photos in Photobucket to use on this forum, you need to double-click on the photo in the Photobucket album, and then when it opens in a new page, select the resize option, and then "message board (640x480).

Jonzjob, snap, we've just put in one of those roller shutters for our pool [:)]

I knew I'd  seen that sign somewhere around here... 

Big posters stuck on the door to the kids bedrooms! Daughter has taken hers to Uni for her room. At least her housemates know their places [:D]

Sorry if getting carried away but think I have got the hang of this at last. Thanks for all the tips.

Thanks, Geordie Girl.

Not a great deal, really. Few timbers in roof to be replaced (now that I've checked the progress of the capricorne beetles who were doing their best to eat everything). Gradually bringing the interior up to scratch, but it's mainly redecoration now. As you can see, the outside needs a coat of paint but, as mentioned on a separate post, I am about to embark on insulating the exterior, which will mean rerendering the whole of the outside and I will paint it all then. But getting there.
