SOMETHING ABOUT NOTHING...

When I say this post is about nothing,
 I don't mean to say it's about nothing.
  It is about something, 
but may mean nothing to anyone
 other than myself. 

The photos were chosen for no rhyme or reason 

but only because I like them

 and, in the end, 

I hope you will see that they prove my point.

No doubt you have heard me complain

 about my getting used to this new computer.  

I will just say it has been a long journey

 which, by no means, is totally over yet.

I used Picasa in the past

 and even though I couldn't begin to tell you, now, how I managed to set that up,

 all I know is that it took care of all my editing needs with mostly one click. 

As it was lost when I took possession of this new one, 

I felt like I had landed in no-man's land without it.

 I would rather figure out things for myself 

and, in all honesty, eventually most times I can,

 but it takes a long while for me to do that.

I did finally figure out how to get 

my watermark back on my photos. 

 I went on "Watermarquee.com" 

and signed up for the "Pro".  

It only cost $19 flat fee forever.  

They do have a free version 

but it doesn't offer as much.  

It is so easy and as I am now a "Pro", 

I can help anyone who needs it!!

The size of my photos 

is the most important thing to me.

 I just don't like how my blog looks with small photos.

This is just my "personal wierdness" 

and very important to me. 

Jacenda came up with a good solution 

and showed me how to do it 

but then I noticed that my pictures

 intrude into my sidebar  

and wave around from side to side.

 I know you must have noticed 

but were too polite to say anything. 

 I thank you for your concern for my feelings,

 but I would never mind 

if you tell me you see something wrong.  

Jacenda made it look so easy 

but it wasn't an exact science. 

Her hands are so steady and confident, 

as well as her knowledge, 

after all, she is a nurse, 

but mine aren't

 and I didn't always get the spot just right,

 so it stands to reason that it didn't work for me.

I did remember a snippet from Picasa though that had to do with the pixel count of a picture, 

and thought it was 900, but that was a little too large so I changed them to 875. (500) 

 I googled how to find the pixel count 

and, long story short,

 I changed the size of my photos 

and now they work just the way I like them.  

There are a few more steps than just one click 

but I'm finding it worth it.

So, now I warned you

 this post was about nothing

 but something I wanted to get in writing,

if nothing more than to prove to myself 

that I did figure it out. 

Most of this will sound old hat to probably all of you

but it is exciting to me that I was able to do it.

If you will remember, I said in my last post 

that it doesn't take much to make me happy! 

I thought I might not even publish it

 - --

but, what the heck!!

Let me know what you think about it all,

 and if anyone is having similar problems

 I have learned a couple of things 

that I might be able to help with. 

OR NOT

Imagine that!!

P.S.  I just published this post and noticed that my margins are still out of whack.  I sized my photos down and it still didn't help.  After I type it up and "preview" it the margins are all just fine but the minute I "publish" there they go.  Back to the drawing board.

P.S.S.  I think I may have fixed it. I had to make my photos smaller and change the margins.  Whether I did it right or not - I don't know but it seems to be working now.  Let Me Know.
