OK, I'm not really that dumb when it comes to computers, but I want to know how do you upload your picture? I go to browes and have tried numerous times to post my pic, but it will not let me...too big. Any advise? And where do you go for the cool picture motion effects and upload those?

Right click on your desired photo in your puter file and send it to your photo editor. Make the photo smaller (say 100 pixels square)then save it under a name you'll recognize as being the small one. Then you should have no problem uploading it! (Been there, done that!)

Click on where it says 'change picture' - under your existing picture. The template comes up, click on 'browse', choose one from the pictures on your PC, press upload - and wait a minute.

No need to make the new pic. smaller as it automatically compresses it to Avatar size.

Hope that is useful :-)

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
