Thank you very much Paul, that is a most helpful, well described procedure.
I lost at least three posts while trying in the early stages. On one forum I used to use the 'timeout was about 15 minutes before it locked you out so I got into the habit of preparing all my posts in Text Edit, generally I prefer to create the post in the forum but I may revert here, I can see the sense, especially for including images.
I have been using Macs since 1988 but one gets set in one's own ways, there are usually better ways of accomplishing things if you are prepared to listen! I did get the result but by going via Belfast to get to London!!!
I am completely new to using off site image hosting so this is all an adventure for me. I have three domains I can use for image storage, so I have plenty of webspace available, it just isn't geared up for this yet. I resent having to use a site like Flicker with the attendant complications. Much prefer to use my own webspace if I can.
I can see I am going to enjoy my time here.
Robert
