Default Am I a retard here or what??

Ok, folks...I CANNOT figure out how to make an album, attach photos or put my ticker in my signature. I've tried to follow the instructions, but it just does not make any sense to me...

I have picasa as my photo editor (ok, whatever that is) if that's any help to those in the know.

Any & all help is desperately needed & wanted!!!

I don't think picasa will help... I put photos in shutterfly.com (free) then click on the one I want to post here (so it get's bigger on the screen) then I hit control and click at the same time and I get the option to save picture location...

then I go into composing or posting (like I am typing in right now), I hit return return, and I click on the "mountain and sky" button: 5th from the right just above this box I am typing in (it won't be visible until you are typing a message)... then I PASTE (control-v) and hit ok.. and the image appears in my email.

I hope this helps.



hm...

I have to tell you...I'm no dummy, not by any stretch of the imagination, but I REALLY don't know what you are talking about. It's like you are speaking Greek or something! I'm one of those people who can't comprehend written instructions. We just got one of the 15 in 1 universal remote controls from Philips. Came with a 100 pg instruction book. Didn't bother to read that, just programmed the remote in 5 minutes. I can quite easily learn by doing, but instructions just do not make sense to me...

I will have DBF/DH look at what you wrote (he's an engineer, he SHOULD be able to understand this) & have him help me this evening.

Thanks,
Princesse

For me....I save my pictures in "MY Pictures" on my computer....then when it's time to attach photos/download.....I just hit browse and it takes me there, and I click on which photo to download...don't know if that helps or makes sense.

Hi! I am new to all of this. I just had my surgery 06/09/08 so I am on my second week post-op and I'm miserable. I was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers/tips on things to eat, how not to get dumping syndrome and the most important question of all does it get better?
