Picasa



Getting this 'insert picture' gadget to work again was is a longwinded process.

I hope I'll remember how I managed to get this one to appear.

That's all I have to say for today.

Thank you, RR.

Re: inserting images in Blogger. I think I had the same problem. When I clicked on the Insert Images symbol the subsequent dropdown page was incomplete, there was no browsing facility that allowed me to access the folder on my computer where I stored my pix.

Since there was a facility to access pix via Picasa Web Albums I downloaded Picasa (it's free) and this worked but it was clumsy.

So I googled "Trouble Uploading Pictures In Blogger" and, among other recommendations, it suggested trying a new browser. One option was Chrome (also free) which I downloaded. The browsing facility is now restored to Insert Images,

Re: snails. We needed lunch while travelling on a French autoroute. Hating French service stations we made our way to a small village where a snail fair was being held. It proved to be a very dull affair, with only 10% of the stalls devoted to snails, the rest selling garden gnomes. I mention this so that you are not disappointed the next time you're in France.

A further warning about eating snails in France. In my experience they are most often cooked individually in small ceramic crucibles which are heated to blast-furnace temperatures. By touching one of these container incautiously you could easily set yourself on fire. I would hate that to happen.

RR!
I did alright with the snails but still have a scar on the inside of my wrist. My next course were mussels. Since it was the first time that they were served me in a bowl which sat on a metal tray, I was not careful enough when reaching for a mussel. My wrist touched the handle of the tray. I complimented the waiter for not warning me.
I browse with Explorer and with Chrome. When I downloaded Picasa I also had to download Picasa Webalbum and then transfer photos from Picasa to Webalbum and now it works, I think.

I tried to preview my recital to RR and all it showed me were two lines. Oh boy do I have problems.
