Saturday Afternoons





My song choice for this afternoon to keep me mellow which is the opposite of how an evening on the Folksy help pages turned me into a quivering imbecile . It began with the ‘simple’ instructions on how to ‘Post an Image to the forum’

The example
This thread is a place you can use to test whether you can do it. Use ‘edit’ (just below your avatar) if it doesn’t work first time so you can go back in and have a look at what you may have missed out.
<a href="http://folksy.com/items/123456"><img height="200" src="http://image.code.JPG"></a>
Blah Blah Blah
You can just copy and paste this code replacing the link to your item (or your shop) and the link to the image source of your code.
It’s the word JUST gets me every time and has become my nemesis.
My attempt went like this.................

(imagine a blank box)
MMM… lets see

(imagine an identical blank box)
sips wine and proceeds
Oct 11, 2011 7:03pm Billybees
(same as above)
and again
Oct 11, 2011 7:12pm Billybees
(ditto)
puts straw in bottle of wine so can use both hands copy pasting typing etc

(you guessed it....nothing)
deep breaths and silently repeats the mantra ..calm as still water .whist sucking the dregs from the bottle and copy . checks. pastes. checks, adds, checks sucks, opps lost the straw ..adds long straw to shopping list and presses SAVE REPLY button

(ohh look nothing!)
feels slightly deflated but not giving up but needs to open another bottle, cleverly join two straws together for the next attempt, re read re paste and re post … “I am just going to my fridge and may be some time”

(yeah ...surprise... joking)
Last try for tonight
Oct 11, 2011 8:10pm Billybees
(same image as the example using the example code!)
well its an image ….not the one i was hoping for but i feel an improvement has been made …off to put my head in the oven ..its ok its electric so will only make my hair fizzy not actually finish me off for good ! :)
Everything I do is done in the same easy calm methodical manner

I'll leave my foray into the dangerous dark spawn of the Devil known as Facebook for another day!
