Nom Nom Nom Nom

Morning All! One more post from the Admins this morning. First thing I want to thank all of the folks who have submitted nominations for our Judged Contests.  But considering all of the fabulous posts and projects we’ve seen this summer, I think the quantity of nominations is a little low.

Greetings one and all.

I’m sitting here with my spreadsheets and all the entry forms, making sure that I have all of the entries in, and that my data is accurate.  For clarification, and so that I really do award the prizes to the competition winners, I’d like to verify the following things:

Farewell to Summer … hello Autumn… What’s next.

Th-th-th-that’s all folks!

I hope you all had a lovely Autumnal Equinox, and that you will enjoy the new season.

We’re taking a breather (sort of), and will be setting up for the Winter of Lace to start in December.

Posting images – hopefully a helpful tutorial

No Gravatar

We’ve been having some problems with the Add Media Button in the post editor. Between web browsers that can’t get it to work properly, folks who have been uploading pictures for storage, and authors who don’t know what do to with all the options. So I would like to encourage everyone to use the “Insert/Edit image” button that is part of the main posting tool bar. The icon looks like this –> image gif icon.  It should allow you to do all the same things the Add Media button did, but with a much simpler and more browser compatible interface.

Below are step by step instructions for how to post an image using this button: (I’ve put in a bunch of images so the specifics are below the Continue Reading link)
