Thank you. My only worry is that I'm in Blogger beta and there might be differences in coding and the like. I do find that since I've lowered the resolution and size of my photos in Photoshop, all has been more or less well in the uploading dept. One weird thing, however, is that sometimes Blogger beta uploads multiples of the same photo - then I have to delete them on the actual blog. Strange, eh? Does this happen to you Blogger folks, too?<BR/><BR/>Hoping to meet up with you at a future "Yarnbeck"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855752.post-1161761130205137282006-10-25T03:25:00.000-04:002006-10-25T03:25:00.000-04:00Right click on the image you want in flickr and ch...Right click on the image you want in flickr and chose copy image location.

I don't select what size I want, I just take the size I have in Flickr and paste that, then I can change the sizes (proportionally--a calculator is handy here) to whatever I want if I want. For example, I often make a 480 x 360 picture (480 on the widest side is the largest size I save to Flickr) 400 x 300. <BR/><BR/>Also, I often do what you do, that is write in a different program. I use a Mac, and BBedit and TextWrangler are two good text programs my programing husband uses. BBedit is very nice because it will highlight HTML code automatically in different colors so you can easily tell if you haven't closed some HTML code for bolding, italics, a link, etc.<BR/><BR/>Great Scarf, and thanks for leaving the link to the pattern in your other post. Good luck on your dissertation!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07578110783778922961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855752.post-1161748219118593112006-10-24T23:50:00.000-04:002006-10-24T23:50:00.000-04:00Your scarf is beautiful!

I can't wait to see what bugs crop up when I migrate to the new Blogger Beta, it makes me a little bit nervous, and it's great to have a backup of everything just in case. I usually make copies of my blogger pages and save them on my harddrive... And by the way, your previous post on how to make the title backgrnd photo, that was something I had been wondering about, thanks for posting that.Hegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13684336130334653672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855752.post-1161741346588553442006-10-24T21:55:00.000-04:002006-10-24T21:55:00.000-04:00You are my hero.

And then it displays the HTML to cut and paste into the blog. It shows it in link form as well as just the plain URL for the image. Depending on which I want, I copy and paste the appropriate thing (usually the whole link).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855752.post-1161723510329187812006-10-24T16:58:00.000-04:002006-10-24T16:58:00.000-04:00In firefox, there's an option to "copy image locat...In firefox, there's an option to "copy image location" in the right-click menu.

Click there, and choose the size you want to show up in your post, and it will give two boxes with urls. The first links back to flickr so that you can click the image to see larger sizes, or the second box will just show the image in your chosen size.Dharmafeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361897526639491732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855752.post-1161718398014140462006-10-24T15:33:00.000-04:002006-10-24T15:33:00.000-04:00OK, I'm coming out of lurkdom to ask how on earth ...OK, I'm coming out of lurkdom to ask how on earth you balance dissertation writing with knitting, blogging, being married, having friends, teaching, etc etc. I've read your very thoughtful pieces on the Mason-Dixon craze and on price fixing in the yarn industry, and now you are writing Blogger tutorials... and you have chapter % bars in your sidebar!? That move?! Maybe you should write a long post telling us underachieving diss writers how to keep all these balls up in the air, because it's pretty damn impressive.
