Hi all

Could any one help this rather dim blogger on how I can go back and see my private msgs....:-)

I do not seem to have the computer brain power to find them.

Thanks Georgie

    Hahaha!  No worries, Georgie.   Asking in public is a good thing, because if you have that question, it's pretty guaranteed that someone else does too.

    Just like in high school, really. You know -- you ask a question and everyone else says "I'm SO glad you asked that!" :)

    Hello Di. I have another question for you.... I would like to add a second pic to my blog in order to show Georgie what my hair looks like now but when I try to click on something in this comment box, my computer freezes... I cant find an option in my home page that will let me do this either. Any suggestions?

    Georgie - did you find that private message you had sent? (or was that rad brain, ha ha)

    Hi Lisa -- When you're in the comment box, you should see a little image at the top of the box that looks like a tree.  If you click on that, you can paste in a link to where your image is and it should show up in the box.  You have to have already uploaded to somewhere online (your facebook, or another image hosting site like flickr or photobucket) first, though as our site doesn't host images. 

    Let me know if you can't get that to work, we're aware that there's some bugs currently that we're trying to iron out so more info will help.

    okay - I have this image on facebook and I clicked on the "little tree" but the information it is asking is way too technical for me! what is a "URL"?" When I went to go back and have another look, it froze my screen again! Maybe I should just get Georgie to look me up on facebook....

    Hi Lisa -- don't worry, it's all a learning curve for everyone, and this is a good place to learn new things. :)

    The 'URL' is the address of the web page you're looking at (it tells your browser which page to load).  You'll see it right at the top of your browser. On our site, it always starts with http://www.bcna.org.au/....., but they're in the same place on every website. 

    On facebook, keep clicking on your image, until you get to the screen where you can see that there's .jpg at the end of the URL -- that's how an image is designated.  Then highlight the URL, and  right-mouse click and copy.  Then come back here and paste it into the field you see when you click on the 'tree'.

    I find it easiest to have different sites open in different tabs so its very easy to swap between them, but using the back button on your browser should work, too.

    Hope that helps.
