Very good advice Al.James if you try to display a picture (jpg) that is over about 800 pixels wide (check its properties Ron's great picture is 2076 pixels wide and almost 400,000 bytes)) it exceeds the standard width of this forum and makes it then necessary to scroll all postings to read all the clever stuff the punters have previously posted before you came long . To resize save it from where you found it then use any graphics program(me) that you might have or get the excellent freebie

Photogadget</a>. the file (pgpro.exe) is only 1005KB and should take only a very few minutes to download on a dial-up.
Once you have a smaller file (which also then has the benefit of being quicker to load for dial-up readers) you have to find somewhere else on the internet to store it. It so happens that I have recently found a superb free website outfit that allows hotlinking and I am working on a fairly simple tutorial on how to use it. Oh do shut your face Stevo. You are always quick to criticise my efforts but I have yet to see you attempt anything other than being rude here!!
