One more question. By the way thanks for the quick reply. How do you put in clip art? Have seen items that I hazve including animation and smiley faces. Is it at the location you gave me for the photographs?

Thanks again.

Harry

Harry - the smiley faces are just a matter of entering the correct charter sets -- as you are posting a reply or new message, look to the left of the window where the text goes and see "Smilies Legend" - it gives you the key to the faces.

Any other image needs to be accessible on the internet for you to be able to display it. Your ISP probably provides some storage space or you can use PhotoPoint. Once you get your image loaded up, it's a matter of 'pulling the image' into your post.

In the following, replace the regular parentheses with square brackets (right of the letter P on your keyboard).

(img)http://www.whereontheweb/folder/picture1.jpg(/img)

Note the forward slash before the final (img). These are the 'tags'. The first one tells the browser that an image is coming and the second one tells it you're done telling the browser it has reached the end of the location information.

I've often fallen into the trap of thinking that when I type this URL for the image that that image is actual repositioned to the forums. However, it only tells your browser where to find this image and your browser goes out and gets it each time someone loads the picture onto your computer and screen.

A Reminder to All -- don't 'display' images in these forums unless you are the creator or have the creator's permission to display them. Otherwise, provide a LINK to the image. To do that, replace the (IMG) with (URL) (square brackets, forward slash in the final (/URL)

John thanks for the information. I have printed it out and will study it. If you have purchased a commercial clip art program, such as Art Explosion, are you saying you can not use them?

You'd need to read the fine print on the box with your clip art. Usually there are credits to be given or restrictions of some kind.

and congratulations on reaching WACKO status Harry.
