Hi It's me
I told you that I might mess up well it happened and if you havn't allready noticed I entered an URL for a picture BUT...no picture. Plus I don't know how to edit an entry once it has been published. Or for that matter even if you can....HELP!
So lesson learned "How NOT to post a picture" LOL As it happens I don't even see a help link so I will have to go back to the drawing board (excuse the pun) and try another approach.
Sorry bout that eh.
Practice makes (not perfect) but better.....I hope!

Anyway thanks and also thanks for the links as well.
BTW I did stumble across the edit feature and took out that link that didn't link. Also found out how to post a picture. (or upload it)
Hay like the song says Life is a dance you learn as you go...sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow. LOL
