:thumbup: Your nice bright star makes me think of the poem "Star light, star bright, first star...' You know the rest. You have a great star there to wish upon! BTW, I was raised in Warren and go back and visit each summer.

Everose, kids love to pick berries. You might want to recruit some. I have some golden raspberries but most get eaten before they ever make it to the house. We love raspberry jam around here. Wish you could send me your extra! Oh, and raspberry sauce/frosting on top of lemon cake.....divine!

h yes, jelly rolls would be perfect for this mystery, and we could have layer cakes too.

Has anyone found foolproof directions for posting photos? I have tried,really!!

Dotty, I am sure resizing is your problem. If you try to upload, and it says the uload failed, you need to resize. The old board took any photos, but not this one. I've found that closeups of small blocks work as is, but big pictures, like you take a pix of a quilt, it gets too big. Go to the edit function, put in a horizontal of 640 pixels, change and save the changes, and you will be good to go. PM me if you want.

Dotty: I am having success with Picasa from Google. First, you download the free program to your computer. Then, you open Picasa, find your photos files, and 'export' the photos you want to post, resizing the photos in the export process. Then, when you're in QB, you browse to your Picasa folder, then your Export folder, then click on the photo you want to show in your post, 'Open' it, upload it, wait for the name of the photo to show up, then 'close this window'.

I am not a nerd, so I had to work to figure this out! Good luck!

Dotty, I have seen google's picassa referred to well before. I've not used it, so can't say how easy it is. I use paint.net. It is also a free download and is for all kinds of photo adjustments. I find it very easy to use to resize photos. I made a photo tutorial for a QB friend about posting pictures, which I could send in an email to you, but it refers to paint.net steps and wouldn't help if you want to use another program. PM me if you want me to send you the tute.
