Trying to fix my picture problem


Sorry for the strange post, but I'm only posting this to try to fix my picture problem. My picture problem is that I look bad in pictures. But the problem I'm trying to fix with blogger (until they offer plastic surgery) is that it won't let me post pictures to my blogs. What is even stranger is that it allows me to post pictures about 1 out of every 15 times I try without any noticable pattern. I have asked for help and none of the suggested "fixes" work. So I'm striking out on my own. If you have advice, please share.

So, if this new attempt works, you should see a picture of what two young boys look like after a 3 mile hike which is up hill all the way.

My family and I have placed bets on the next time you will post pictures on your blog...What? Did I say that?
What are the odds...oh never mind.

That picture is a classic! Makes me want to say, "Ve have ways of making you hike with the family!"

Your boys are cuties even if they look totally exhausted.

Since you asked for advice (and I'm just wandering over here from Greg's blog, I don't know you except for your comments there) . . . (although I've met some other good friends that way, like Randy Wray and Brad Palmore and I see your other linked names a lot) . . . here's mine. Give Randy and Brad of Theobloggers a chance to build you a great looking and easy posting and picturing blog. They are very inexpensive and really, really helpful. I've been really happy with my new blog of two weeks using WordPress software they put me on to and with lots of help from them.

Plus, if I recommend new business to them I get a one month rebate on my own huge costs of $3 bucks, which is a month's cost and the best bargain you'll find around anywhere these days!!

Either way, when it comes to posting pictures, I asked for picture advice myself on my Blogger blog because I was having the same trouble you are and had some blogging friends put me onto Photo Bucket (as in dot com). So check it out. There you can upload your photos, get a URL for them and paste it into your blog post while working on it. Try it till, or if, you get with Randy and Brad. That's my first recommendation.

Cheers & Blessings to you all! Dee Andrews

P. S. I love the pictures of the boys, but you made them walk 3 miles uphill?! Poor little tykes . . ..

Peggy, I think I may have the problem mostly figured out, but we'll see. Good luck.

cwin, thanks for saying so. They take after their mother.

Dee, welcome and thanks for commenting. I think I've seen your comments around at other blogs we both frequent. Glad you stopped by. Good advice all around I'm sure. I checked out Theobloggers and decided it was probably a far superior service. The only real drawbacks I saw was that I have no idea what an "oblogger" is and you have to pay whereas blogger is free. However, my frustration with blogger is leading me more and more toward reconsidering. Plus Randy is a pal so hooking him up with extra breakfast taco money wouldn't be all that bad.

Thanks for the tips.

The myth of fingerprints

Shorter post today. I thought it would be better if you knew up front. I teach a business law class to junior and senior business students at a couple local colleges. I do it because I enjoy it and one of the colleges is a local Christian school I like to support. One of the things I have come to enjoy is how predictable people are in groups. Get a group of people together and you will always have certain personality types and people playing certain rolls. It is like the various versions of the expression that goes something like, every group of people has at least one person that the rest of the group makes fun of when they are not there. If you can not identify that person in your particular group it is because that person is you. ....or so the saying goes. Anyway, every year I teach this class the "same" people sit in the same places in class, dress the same and make the same comments. They are actually different people, most of whom don't even know each other

I Left My Heart.....in San Diego

Out of nowhere, I am going to San Diego this week. Every year my oldest and bestest friend (not including the artist formerly known as StumpTown's wife, of course) meet in San Francisco to see a couple Giants games. This year we were having trouble getting something scheduled and then out of nowhere he has some extra travel budget he has to spend or lose (he visits colleges as part of his job as a college counselor at a super posh prep school in LA), and needs to visit some of the schools in San Diego and wouldn't you know it, the Giants just happen to be in town this weekend. So, a quick frequent flyer free ticket later and I'm hitting the road, or air, or whatever. I will fly out tomorrow and come back Sunday. We should get to see a couple games and I'll be able to catch up with some other friends from college along the way. Should be great. So, I may not be able to post anything new here the rest of the week, though I am taking a laptop with me and have high ho

So Much Going On

Man, I wish I had time to blog, because there is so much going on right now. I just started at a new firm. It is the firm where I started my career and I could not be happier to be back. To make it even better, after going through 16 different secretaries, I now am working with the best of the best and she decided to come with me to the new firm making a good situation that much better. In other news, my lovely wife and I just got back from the Zoe worship conference in beautiful Fresno, California. Here were some of the highlights in mostly chronological order: We left the kids with the grandparents and drove down. That’s right we drove the 12+ hours from Portland to Fresno. Apparently, we are just too stupid (and by “we” I mean “me”) to figure out that gas prices probably make flying cheaper, so then the only thing air travel has going for it is the time savings, convenience and lack of extra miles on the car. Good thinking by us. I love a road trip, but this was just dumb. That said
