Title: First time piccy-poster
Post by: Amazin on July 27, 2005, 23:29:21
This is my Lantana in flower.
If it doesn't come out right I will go away and never do this again.

I thiink that's because I shrank it and then I resized the pixel size as well so I guess I'm a complete failure (sob!).

Oh what the hell, if at first you don't succeed...
Here's Myrtle, who blossomed at the weekend for the first time

so - how did you get your picture on - as it has come out very different to my first posting (day before yesterday).

I saved mine to image shack and then copied the URL into the message. How did you do it, as this has come out a lot better?

ooooooooooo, I likes the myrtle very muchly!

I used to use imageshack daisymay as it was so easy, but now use www.photobucket.com, and to me, this is even easier and the pics look better.

Aw, thanks everyone, your encouragement is worth diamonds.

I'm so thrilled with little 'Myrt' - she was half dead when I got her in a sale (I'm a sucker for waifs & strays - like many here, I suspect!). This is just her second year and WOW!

I'm in Kid-with-new-toy mode at the moment, so expect to be bored witless by pics of every blade of grass I have.
Now for the technical stuff...

...er... um...  ???

well, it's my son's Olympus camera and it came with a programme called Camedia Master. I just resized the photos to fit on the site, saved them as jpg files then attached them to my message and...er...that's it really.

Oh, one thing I can't do is put text in between photos. Any advice?
