Thanks for the comments and the sticky status. Very kind!

I'll keep it going, hopefully updates 3-4 times a week.

I read Alex's tips here and find I can no longer compose an email.

This could be better served with 'scrippets'.

Any idea how I can pull that off? I AM NOT a techie, and even the simplest of instructions are gibberish to me.

any help to make it easier to follow, I'm up for!

I think the Powers That Be must install the plug-in to use scrippets, but it looks way cool.

A few of the workshop sites use them to post pages for review - and of course I was the one dope that never figured it out.

This, however, I can do in my sleep ....

With a little tweaking, maybe this can work. Just need to align things a little better. Thoughs?

Or is this easier on the eyes ... and note better alignment ...

Images work for me. Easiest way to show format without coding or spending ages aligning text in thread.

Hosting the images is a bit of a pain web.

But to rid yourself of this use below:

Great site to host image files (and gives you the links to paste in threads): Upload images to http://www.imageshack.us


4) upload to imageshack
5) copy and paste link into thread as image

Will also work great for other fests for posters etc...


example:

I feel having to click on the image and wait for it to load will slow down a smooth read.

I can host the original size images as posted on of my unused blogs, no problem, and that way keep all the script text ready to read with the other gobbly gook.

I'm also not a fan of imageshack, and I find American Express ads offensive. I feel I'd be selling out to the enemy of humanity by having them 'sponsor' my images.

I appreciate the option, though. Anything beats code.

Great thread! Going to follow it for sure

See above example and here:



you can just paste the code into thread and view and before.

Figured it might be easier for users as not everyone has webspace.

or you can do the whole thumbnail link thing also...
