Well, here goes! If you are looking at a blank screen Wwith lots of gobbldy gook,it has not worked, if you are however looking at my 4 babies that i grew, and we carved for Halloween, hurrah!  

[Doris_Pinks]

It worked!!!   Thanks Tim!  Dottie P.

Fantastic! Just printed them off for the grandchildren.

And there's no need to 'test' in public surely - what's the 'preview' button for? - Tim

[Palustris]

Too clever by half, it will all come to a sorry end. No seriously though, they look really good for Pagan ritual objects.
Now please tell me in great detail how to get your little icon pic on. No matter what I did it would not work I would like to use Rocky the Bantam. Aint I a duffer?

[tim]

yes - should I have one of an Elk?

Swore I'd never get involved in all this fandango! - Tim

[Doris_Pinks]

Eric I have been trying for about an hour to get your rocky Gif sorted so you use use it, to no avail!! Way beyond my non computer brain me thinks! How about something different like the one I have put on mine to show you? DP

[Palustris]

Brilliant ! Please, please please.

[budgiebreeder]

Well done on the growing and carving.I too am awaiting your instruction.

[Doris_Pinks]

Ok, you ready.probably an easier way to do it out there.but here is what I do!!
Go to Google, put in what you want to find as per usual. ( for that one I put in rooster) but instead click on images on the top. then search. go through the pics until you find one you like, then click on it.then click on the pic again, it should now be isolated with it's own address at the top.......ie: www.allotments4all etc! You with me so far? Good!  Now copy this address, come back to home page here. Click on profile, which should bring yours up and where it says I have my own pic. Paste your address, then tick the box and voila, it should be there! Sometimes have a prob if the pic is too big to start with, but just keep looking for another that looks good! Hope this helps!   Dottie P.

[Doris_Pinks]

Opps, sorry chaps, forgot to say, when you have entered your address, adn ticked it, go to the bottom where it says change profile and click on that too! to finish!

Can i have a gold star Dottie please.Thanks for your help, i had been making hard work of it putting gif in my pictures etc.

[tim]

- despite all my arguments against, after all DP's efforts I just HAD to try.

But 'copy' would only work on the picture - not the address, so had to type it into the box. Hence probable failure?  Should the pic be displayed in the 'preview',  like the ordinary photos? - the elk

[tim]

Goodness gracious me !!! Tim

[Palustris]

Yes, but why does my Rocky the Bantam keep disappearing?

[tim]

oh,  dear! - you and Ina too?

Maybe mine will too -  not a paid up member?  

And, anyway, they are vicious little beauties - however productive? - Tim

[Doris_Pinks]

Eric could it be because it is not a jpeg?   DP  ( I have no idea what i stands for, just know it as a picture format!!)

[MagpieDi]

Hi All
I've been trying too and so far no success! Think maybe all the images I've chosen may be subject to copyright?? Could this be the problem? ........over to the computer whiz      

[Doris_Pinks]

Tim, Tim where are you when we need you!!  Hmm, don't think it is copyright stuff, make sure that when you are copying the addressdown you have clicked on the image twice, so you have just the image on your screen and not all the website stuff too! Good luck Magpie!

[legless]

when you are in the profile preview di, click on your picture and see what it says, i had the red cross thing when i'd put the address in slightly wrong but it works now...

[Doris_Pinks]

Di, is that a Magpie I see!! Well done   DP
