Will It Float?

I'm playing with adding music to some of my blogs, so I thought I'd try this here first. After all, I haven't added anything to "utter frustration" for some time.

See..I went to the right site...of course the html I pasted in didn't do a thing! Probably some simple thing in the instructions I didn't get.

What Else Can I Play With?

Now let's see if the photo download is working! Whoops....the correct term is upload!

Well...you can't have everything. I tried "uploading" one photo, the screen showed "Done"...but there's nothing here! I'll try publishing this post and see if the photo shows up on the blog. That's why this is called "Utter Frustration."

I'm Soooo Proud of Myself!

I use this blog to try out stuff occasionally and when I run into problems on my primary blogs. I've never liked the color green that comes up on all the post titles, but was always afraid to mess around with the template. I really wanted to get rid of the green on the blog "Black and White Only" for obvious reasons, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Of course I don't have a clue as to why #ad9 means green in Html, so I thought I'd jot down some of the other color numbers that show up on the template and replace #ad9. I can't believe the first one I tried, #fff turned out to be white!!! and exactly right for the B&W Only blog! Is there a color chart out there somewhere???? Who knows!

NOVEMBER 7TH...A DATE TO ACT!

PLEASE DON'T FEEL THAT JUST ONE VOTE WON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE! EVERY VOTE COUNTED SAYS...."WE MUST MAKE A CHANGE IN OUR COUNTRY'S DIRECTION."

"Utter Frustration" would be the failure of all of us who have the opportunity to make a change to not get to the polls and DO IT!

It's been months.....

Well, problems again. I tried to add a post to my primary blog "Room With Another View" and while it appears on the listings, I can't see it on the regular blog site. I seem to be stuck in September! I'll try adding a posting to this site, and see what happens.

Did You Enjoy the 4th of July?

Wow...It's Been Months!

Does this mean I haven't been frustrated for months? Nah....just no time to try out new stuff, leading to frustration. Now, that's really frustrating.

Happy St. Pat's!

I'm Back! And Really Frustrated!

It's been a long time -- almost two months. It's not that I haven't been frustrated with blogging, I just haven't had time to experiment with possible fixes. For some reason, I cannot download photos unless I use "Blog This." Mozilla doesn't show up, and I can't use AOL to e-mail photos from the blog. Just a few time-killing problems. I made a few changes to "Set Program Access & Defaults - custom. I didn't restart the PC, so perhaps it won't work, but let's give it a try.
NOTHING HAPPENED. This new blog doesn't show up except in the Edit post mode, and of course, no photo! I'll try publishing again to see if at least the text updates.

OK, I got the text to show up when I go directly into "Utter Frustration." Now I'll try downloading a photo again!

Hey....It showed up! Not where I wanted it -- at the end of the text, but this is progress (I think). Now'll I'll Publish the Post and see what happens!

P.S. That's the rainbow that greeted us in front of our hotel in Ouro Preto Brazil the morning we were leaving for Rio. A nice farewell!

Pretty In Pink!

Da-n Uploading!

Just when I thought I had it down pat--first I uploaded a photo using "Google This." I've learned from past experience it only works for one picture. Then I did my usual download to the C-drive, back into the blog, and tried to upload 2 additional photos. Didn't work. So I thought well, we are back to doing one at a time---still didn't work. Now I'll try uploading the photos to this blog; if it works, I can copy the Html and paste it into the other blog. WHAT A PAIN!

No pictures. I get as far as the notice that the photos are uploading, then "Done" in the lower left....but NO PHOTOS. Where in cyber space are they??? Let's see if I can use Blogger Blot.

If this works...what a treat!

Once you have the picture, scroll the side bar down and then move the bottom scroll bar slowly by putting your curser on the right ">" and hold down the mouse key for a wrap around view of Paris.

Of course, this makes me sad thinking of last New Year's Eve on the Seine, and the "hanging around the house" plans for this New Year's Eve!

Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

Calm Down -- They're Back!

All I had to do was delete the Smiley Program, restart the PC, and download the Smiley's again!

Guess what we'll all be doing on Thursday!

Have a Happy!

Where Have All The Smileys Gone?

No---they are not here. "An error has occurred in the script on this page." ???? I get the same message if I try to add a Smiley to an e-mail I'm writing, or to any of the other blogs. Here we go again! It seems this happened after I added a photo by going thru "Blog This" and Mozilla Firefox came up. What a pain!

Up on the Roof - Kimmel Center

Kimmel Center - Philadelphia

Another experiment -- if you download a black & white photo onto a black blog background (say that fast!) it looks like it's a collage in 2 pieces. What water colorists call "a happy accident."
Now let's see if I can copy this onto my other blog.

There's always one photo that gives me a problem. I've tried to download a photo taken on the roof garden at the Kimmel Center & both this site, and "Room With Another View" come up with "Web Site Not Responding." I'll try going back into Picasa & do "Blog This" which goes through Mozilla Foxfire. For some reason that seems to work, but you have to open a new post to download it. Why? Who knows! Well, here goes.

Newark Mansion

Tried numerous times to download this photo on "A Room With Another View." While other photos from the same album on the C-drive worked, this one wouldn't. So in keeping with the use of this blog for experimenting, I've downloaded it using "Blog This." Let's see what happens. OK, it worked. But why here, and not there? I'll try copying the HTML and pasting it into the other blog site. Sure beats doing the stuff I have to do today, like errands and more co-op bill paying!

Good enough to eat!

In case you're wondering where I've been for a week...well, hanging out with the fashionistas at the Chocolate Show! Actually I've been on my main blog, "A Room With Another View." I even experimented with using "cut" and "paste" Html to move photos around, and it worked. I found out that I can ignore messages about missing end or begin horizontal carets, and still get the blog to publish. It's fun ignoring highlighted remarks that don't make sense to me!

Time for a Change

That nasty Dragon was getting tiresome, so I thought I'd update the blog, and add this abstract painting and maybe experiment a little. Like can I add another "blog this" photo while this screen is open? Let's see. Just looking for a little frustration this morning!

HAH! Tried to open up Picasa to download another photo..it shows up as a blurry screen behind this one. Guess that "experiment" didn't work. I'll just publish this blog as is, and see if I can add another photo later.
