Adding your photo to your blogger profile.
1. Use your favorite photo editor to crop and resize your picture to about 80x80 pixels - then save as JPG. If the file is bigger than 50K, set the options for JPG saves for lower quality/higher compression until it is smaller than 50K.
2. Find out where you have some personal web space from your ISP. For MAC users with a mac.com account, it might be somewhere like: http://homepage.mac.com/youraccountname/.Public/YOURPICTURE.JPG. Read the help for uploading JPG or GIF images. (You may have to request or activate personal web space before you can upload anything). Upload your compressed photograph.
3. Log in to blogger.com. In blogger Dashboard select "Edit Profile". Go down to "Photo URL" and enter the location of your picture exactly as it was saved. This is case sensitive so be careful.
4. Don't forget to scroll to the bottom and press the "Save Profile" button.
If the URL is invalid, or the JPG/GIF is too large you will get an error message.
Audio Clip
You can put the URL for a small MP3 file in the audio link using the same process. (Compress, upload, add link to profile) I've tried it with MP3 files up to about 225K if you can scrunch your audio that much. (try 48K ABR, mono )

(from notes Saturday, Dec 24)
I have a dream just before waking this morning. I am at some kind of concert or pitch session amoung a sea of young people and concert gear. There is a stage but we are below and out front where the audience would be. Then I am holding some kind of player like a walkman or MD, thinking "strange, there are no wires". Music begins and on stage, four or five windows appear in a very white facade. Behind is a wash of pastel or sky and cloud colors. Girls in white leather or vinyl miniskirts and vests are dancing in the windows - their hair colors: white-albino, blond, brunette, redhead, raven and jet black. They seem to switch places as they dance so if you try to focus you may find any one in any window.
I'm puzzling over my player, and wondering if the music and show are somehow coming from it, when the song gets to the hook: "the English Girl" or "that English Girl" or something like that. I wake up thinking "catchy tune", but I can't bring the melody back from memory.
(can you tell I am a product of the sixties?)

TOBY, SHANE, HANNII created this blog mainly to have a personna when commenting in blogspace. So far I have figured out how to get access to my ISP webspace in order to put a picture, sound and webpage links with my profile. Now to see how to put pictures into posts....maybe something Christmasy. Hmmm I wanted the picture under the text but I'll figure that out another time.
