[Guest Marty]

I write down the link in a 10.5 x 8 inch note book then i type in the link. I been around computers all my life since i was 5 years old 1980 " Apple computer day's " but i am new to the Internet 2+ years i know more about the basics like Internet security and researching stuff but there's got to be a easier way than what i am doing.

Thanks in advance Marty

Marty, are you familiar with the copy and paste functions?

If you're copying the URL from the top of the page, left click on it (it should turn dark) then press Ctrl + C

Put the cursor where you want the link to appear, then press Ctrl + V

If the URL appears in the body of the document, hold down the left button on your mouse while passing it over the URL - it should turn dark. Proceed as above (press Ctrl + C)

Hope that helps.

OK, probably just as newbie a question: I've got a pic of the "Shamrock Tower" block in downtown, but it's in a 1MB file size. If I upload it, will I bog down the system, or do I need to wait until I can get to a program that will downsize it? And if so, to what size do I need to downsize it?

Thanks.

1MB shouldn't bog down the system, but each user is only allowed to upload so much data, usually just enough for their avatars and such.

In Microsoft Office Picture Manager you can compress pictures or edit them to a smaller number of pixels. That might help.

Thanks, I finally mastered the copy and paste. It seemed over my head at first but now I cant live without it.
