Out on a Limb
Welcome to my photo blog and other ramblings

| The new camera... take 2 |
| I have spent the last hour trying to figure out how to load a photo. Finally I managed to get the "add Media" choice to show on this idiot blog editor. So here is the new camera. I cannot duplicate the way I got to the 'add media' spot.  |

| The New Camera |
I have no idea how I added photos to this blog, before. What a waste of time to even look at this. I updated my Photography page on my web site to include the purchase of my Canon EOS Rebel 500d or T1i. |

| More of this Blog |
 I have found that I can put a photo into two or more categories by putting a comma after each category name; or, by going to edit an entry and adding it to the other category in the side bar. This entry, I am hope I have created the Sky and Sea category just by entering the name in the 'category' place at the top of the new entry and just below the name of the entry. This will be the last for today! |

| Managing this blog |
 This is a photo taken on our Russian River Cruise in May 2008. I have this printed and will hang it when the renovations of my kitchen are finished. I seem to be getting along a little better with this blog after spending a few hours looking things over. I cannot find the "center" tool on the editor. I suppose I could do it with html. No big deal though I have managed to fix the size of the photos previously added to each entry. 700 pixels wide seems ok. I go to my go.daddy login and find where to login, then click the left side 'quick blog'. This takes me to the blog account where I click on the blog name wwwmyblog.mmmee.com. This should take me to the spot to edit entries or create a new entry, add categories or do other maintenance. There is a little 'view blog' in the top right corner to see any changes made as they are saved. Must save any edits. To add photos to the entry, I click on the icon to add photos, then upload the photo to the blog gallery, and next highlight the photo in the gallery and click ok at the bottom. Go.daddy is quite slow in the upload, as is Blogger. Its good to have this figured out. I don't like the side bar or the banner and top part much at all. I might have to explore the templates. I find that Go.daddy has a feature where I can buy an on line storage folder. I might want to have one of these someday. Here is the public URL for it: http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/email/vsdb_landing.asp |

| Not so quick Quick Blog |
| I am having a go again at trying to do entries in This Blog. It is free with my domain name with Go.daddy. I guess you get what you pay for. This thing is very difficult to navigate. Blogger is far easier. I have to first load photos to a gallery before I can use them in an entry. Finding that gallery upload place is a mysterious endeavor. Then the photos should not be too large. I don't know what size fits, but my photos over 800 pixels are too big. If ever I have too much time on my hands I shall go back to this gallery and reload all the pictures in a smaller size. Then edit all the entries. I should call this quick blog "Pain in the Butt"... Go.daddy are you listening?? Also, I would like to sign in to my account dashboard and remain signed in. Why is that too difficult? |

| There's a mist |
 There's a mist hanging over me Because of this I fail to see Very clearly There's a mist clouding my thoughts Because of this I cannot Decide a lot There's a mist in the air Because of this its hard to care Who would dare There's a mist, a creeping menance Because of this odd circumstance The world lacks maintance There's a mist, dense and thick Because of this the planet is sick We need a cure -- quick I created this poem on May 13, 2007 |

| Tiny Bubbles |
After that blast of color I think I should get back to something more calm. This is a photo from my water garden a few days ago. The white is the fallen plum tree blossoms. The bubbles were created by the water fall. I cannot seem to get it set to make bubbles again. I am glad I caught this act.  |
