It's like texting on my phone - my brain and thumb (I can't use thumbS like my kids do) don't work together if I just think of the letters - I have to count 1, 2, 3, or 1, 2, to get to the letter I want. There - my secret's out.<br /><br />I have trouble with embiggening too. Trying to work out at the moment how to get my photos to fill the whole screen when clicked on. Apparently I need to save them as a larger size to start with? A kind blogger is going to email me instructions.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-5445757721265747522009-11-24T02:09:35.803-05:002009-11-24T02:09:35.803-05:00Lena: yeah, I need a few more young 'uns aroun...Lena: yeah, I need a few more young 'uns around for IT help!VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-20331807204534384182009-11-24T02:08:52.877-05:002009-11-24T02:08:52.877-05:00chrome3d: and we don't want any racing on our ...chrome3d: and we don't want any racing on our city streets, do we...VioletSkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222821877918680480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-81536064339380321072009-11-23T17:06:44.062-05:002009-11-23T17:06:44.062-05:00I'll be honest - I'm too IT thick to reall...I'll be honest - I'm too IT thick to really comment here, but if you wait until the kids get home......<br /><br />The lights however, looked really wrong.

I prefer the overhead lights, as trucks and buses often hide the ones on poles beside the street. Your blog appears fine on my old version of IE. The people who make the browsers all follow a general standard and add their own features that are useful in some cases. Marianne (the lady in my life) uses Firefox mostly, but switches to IE when Firefox doesn't display something correctly. There are a bunch of settings in the browsers and the monitor that can affect how a page appears on the screen. Just go with what you see when you create the post, unless someone reports a problem. Then you might try a different technique to achieve you desired format.Lewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697266305154485433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-19345718607026518332009-11-22T00:33:10.610-05:002009-11-22T00:33:10.610-05:00Its all an evil plot, I blame the man on the grass...Its all an evil plot, I blame the man on the grassy knoll.The Sagittarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513045101496737031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-33046739080725499072009-11-21T23:31:44.639-05:002009-11-21T23:31:44.639-05:00I love that word "embiggen".

I can do what I have to, and even sort out most problem, but new layouts can confuse me and make things much more difficult. As I discovered when my old computer died, and I had Mr G's all singing all dancing one, while he used his laptop. But I have a more advanced version of Windows XP and a much bigger screen.<br /><br />Still can't work out how some bloggers have patterns right across my screen, while others, including mine, just appear in a vertical column in the center.<br /><br />And no way can I manage to change the US version of the keyboard to the UK - which drives me crazy over the " and @ being reversed!!!Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322140697547406511noreply@blogger.com
