Morning All,

The following picture is to remind you all that, while I make a few spelling/editing mistakes, at least I don't work in print:

How have you posted a picture?

Can we do that? Please tell.

I recently was responsible for a similar 'error'. I was responsible for designing a report about bad parking, and I placed some photos in the design, but the captions were being written later. I put some placeholder text under the photos to be replaced by the captions when they were written.

Several moths later I was asked to print a copy for a meeting, and I inadvertently printed the version with the placeholder captions (not the final version) which read 'Inconsiderate Little Bustard' under each photo of bad bad parking. This was only noticed when it was passed around at the meeting. Boss was not pleased.

That is super Gromit! Surely it got a little chuckle though?

As to the picture: I can insert it because I have some html access.

I think we should have a "insert image" field when asking/answering a question. But, again, this is another "later" issue.

The next thing on the agenda (a couple of weeks time) is some of the usability stuff.

All the best,

nice as some pictures are, especially Vinny's artworks

I think being able to put them on the page would make for some awfully long pages
Question Author
The width would be limited to the current size of the middle column - so I don't think the page would be much longer?

Enriched posts would be good to have on the site.

All the best

a few of these on a page at full width

and you'll be having to buy more bandwidth from dodgy men with moustaches at boot sales.
I often make misteaks when I'm typing,
And my granmar isn't that exciting.
So I sometimes use rime ,
Which is a complete waste of time;
To hied my spelling and poo writing.
