Mira
(22,380 posts)And I want to encourage you to take part. It's really fun, and now only that, no work.
Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)I will enter. I have tried and tried, following the instructions posted in the Forum, and it just doesn't work for me.
Mira
(22,380 posts)I'm not savvy with the computer so my instructions will be quite elementary.
I use imgur, upload the photo from my desktop, after that I go to my name on the top right. Once I click on it in the dropdown "images"will appear, I click on that and the one I uploaded will be there. I then click on that image, copy the "direct link" in the list of 4 or 5 links to the right of the image. It is the second link from the top, and then insert it into the post I am making.
Then I use preview to see if it worked.
After a few tries, if not immediately, it will all come together for you.
If that fails, send me a private message. I will then tell you how to send the image to me, and I will post it with your name in your stead.
That means all excuses are now nullified.
Start finding an image for "Repetitions".
I can't ever get it to work.
Mira
(22,380 posts)I can do it. So how hard can it be. Maybe we can pm about where you get stuck?
Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)And if I get stuck, I will definitely p.m. you for help.
Thank you!
I sure as heck need a computer to do it. I would print out the suggestions and instruction and just work from them.
I am confident you will succeed. But together we shall conquer it if necessary.
Dem2theMax
(9,651 posts)I have also tried it on the computer with no luck.
Tomorrow I will definitely give it another try!
