Just An Opinion...

About trying to download photos to this website!

Here I Go Again!

Friday evening - across the green mall from the Manchester Inn
Let's see what happens if you try to download 2 pictures before you publish your post.
I got the message "Web site not responding." I'll publish with just one photo & try again. Tried again--same message. Now I'll re-publish and Try Again! Try #3 - Same message. I'm outa here. I'll go read a book--at least I can turn the pages whenever I want to.

If at first you don't succeed...

Just testing my theory...first download the photo, then add the comments.

Pots outside a Crafts Museum & Market - India 2005. Someone actually bid for this photo at a White Elephant Benefit for the NMVO.

Now to see if part 2 of my theory works..can the photo be enlarged?

What do you know--it worked. But there is weird spacing on the comments. Lets see if I can mess around with the HTML. If I only knew what all that "span, strong, strong," stuff meant. I think I'll leave it alone and see if it self adjusts.

I Should Have Known....

Checked Amazon, and of course...there are Dummy Books out there for blogging & HTML'ing. Before I get more books I don't use, I'm going to try out my theory of photo enlarging. Here goes. First, I download a photo (or 2)--

Silly me...First I tried to download 2 photos. Got the message "Web site not responding." Went back and tried to download just 1 photo. Got the message "Web site may be experiencing difficulty." Not the only one, webbie! Who needs this first thing in the a.m.! Utter Frustration...isn't this an aptly named blog.

I Think I've Got It!

I think I've discovered why some photos can be enlarged and others not. If I download the photo and leave it in place, it can be enlarged. If I drag it to another spot (let's say under the words), once it's dragged, it only shows up under Html in the small size. Why? Who the HTML knows! Is there a book out there called "HTML For Dummies?" or "Blogging For Dummies?" Shall I shall check out Amazon.com? No matter where you put the cursor, a photo always jumps to the top of the page. OK, Dummy--just download the pictures; add the text later. Maybe. Or maybe I'll just take a nap!

Yes--I Can!

Last night I spent about an hour trying to get Cliff's printer to do a very complicated thing--print! Just when I had almost given up, it worked. Love to take credit for fixing it, but I don't know exactly what I did, except shake up the ink cartridges in disgust.

Now in the wee hours of the morning when I should be framing the photos & watercolor I'm taking to the Museum, I decided to play with my blog. I accidentally created a Draft; now I know how to find it again & fix it. When I did that, miraculously the Sol LeWitt photos in the earlier blog can now be enlarged.

Oh, no--the Museum isn't hanging my stuff. I'm just donating them for the Volunteer Silent Auction. My works usually do pretty good for whatever organization I've given them to--now if I could only figure a way to make some money for my favorite charitable organization--me.

Well, I'd better stop blogging and start framing--I have to leave at 9:00 a.m.

Sometimes You Can--and then again...

Sometimes I can download a photo with no problem; it even enlarges with a "click." Other times - a picture, but no enlarging possible. And then there are the "no response - no picture" times. Why, why, why?

Let's see what happens if I download a photo I know worked in another blog.

Well, this time it worked! I'll publish and then add another photo from the same folder...we'll see.

So it comes up "Error: Web Site Not Responding." Now I'll try copying the HTML from the first picture. This is driving me to Utter Frustration!
Well, all I had to do was copy the HTML for the first photo, change the photo number, it worked!
Now what...I tried to enlarge the above photo. Got a message: "The requested URL/blogger/4203/1338/1600/DSC1194.jpg was not found on this server." Well, what server is it on?

Wise Eyes!

after 8 days is this the best I could come up with? Yes--just "monkeying" around. I've tried the new Picasa "Blog This" and while I can download 1 picture to the blog, when I tried to edit (add a comment or another picture) -- back to Utter Frustration!
I knew it--a Broken Tag! What the H--L is that? Does crazy glue fix broken tags? Or just those funny little carets? Well, I'll throw some in, just for the HTML of it!

Boring

Utter Frustration is so boring--even I didn't look at it for 5 days!

What shall I do to jazz it up? How about a Smiley that shows how I really felt yesterday evening at about 6:15 pm?
