I'd say you're still teaching us that new can be good, given a bit of work. Thanks, Doug!

You have such a nice smile, Doug. It warms my heart, as does the gift of your friendship. The World Wide Web gave me a new life, too, and I�m so glad you�re a part of it.

Is it me? or is your site now coming in Xtra Xtra large? It is so large that it doesn't fit on my (not small) monitor screen anymore. I wonder why? I noticed that a while back but forgot to ask. It's probably some setting of my own... like the large fonts I have my computer set for. But none of the other blogs/journals are big like yours is - I just don't know anymore... the world is going too fast for me. ;-)

I haven't been getting your notifies but today I got 6. I think I am all caught up now. Bex his page looks bigger because he hasn't resized the photos. Doug you need a photo editor to resize your photos might be one in your windows programs. or one that came with your camera program. In the program it is listed sometimes under the title image and then drop down to resize. You look great by the way.

Any photo software should let you resize pictures; however, if you do not have any photo manipulation software installed, you can use Windows Paint to change the size. {Important: first make a copy of your photograph and use that copy for your experiments so you don't have to worry about messing up the original.) Open your photo using Paint. Select the Image drop-down menu and then select the Stretch/Skew option from that list. The photo you used was 1600 pixels wide by 1200 pixels high. A typical computer monitor shows 72 pixels per inch. (So you can see why your photograph came out so large that people had to scroll to see it all.) Let's say you wanted to change those numbers to 800 by 600 (keeping the ratio the same so that we don't distort the picture) -- The Stretch part of the Stretch/Skew window shows a Horizonal and a Vertical value and both are at 100%. Change them both to 50% and click OK. That will reduce the photo down to 800 x 600 pixels. Click Save. (If you had wanted to make it really small, you could have done so simply by reducing it further; just be sure to reduce width and height by the same percentage to avoid distorting the picture.) It's easier to do this with specialized photo software (and you get a lot more options) but if you are running Windows you already have Paint installed and so it's free and requires no installation.

When is new good? That is an excellent question. --When it doesn't destroy the good in the old. --When it's fun or enjoyable or enhances life in some way. --When it's a challenge, making you stretch and/or grow mentally or physically. --When it does not use too much of the earth's resources (or at least not more than I'm using now). Thank you for that question. I hadn't thought to put the answer into words before.
