answer to Mary’s question…

The link to shutterfly is complicated. At least the only way I know how to do it. Ready? O.K. This is what I do. (you are going to want to print this page before you try it).
Go to Shutterfly.
Log in as you.
Click the “Share OnLine” Tab at the top.
Find the Picture you want to share.
Click “share this picture” on the top right side.
1. How would you like to share these pictures? Click “as a single album”
2. Invite friends and family to view these albums? Type in your email address here.
In the “subject” line — type in the subject … e.g. “Wine Spill!!”
Click “Share Now” on the top right.
Then STOP!!!
You will be taken to a page that says (helpfully): PICTURES SHARED SUCCESSFULLY!!!
Then right under that message it will say (very important):
Your message has been sent with the following link to access your shared pictures:
share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AZN2bVq3cNGZ_ (or some sort of address like this)
Then you must highlight that address that appears. E.g.: share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AZN2bVq3cNGZ_
Once highlighted, you must hit CONTROL + C (this will copy the address)
Then, go to the Blog. And type in your message. Then on the part of your message you want to link to the picture — highlight it.
Then, while the text is highlighted… click “Link” in the “Quicktags” part right under the title of the post.
A little “explorer user prompt” box will appear with a box that says: http://
Click right after the // and hit CONTROL + v. This will paste the address in the prompt box.
Then Click OK. Your “Write Post” message will now include a bunch of strange code around the words you had highlighted. That’s good!!
Then continue typing your message and hit “Publish” — and you should be all set.
Now wasn’t that easy. I’ve tried it here by highlighting “click here” and then clicking on “link” and posting the address to the WINE SPILL…. CLICK HERE

Thanks Andi. I’ll give it a try and let you know how it turns out!
sounds easy enough if I can follow all those directions.

Heh heh. Wine Spill. That’s good stuff. I forgot that you had pictures of that. Those are good times right there. But I think that was actually the year that Artemis did the spilling, and not one of us. (For a change.)

No. It was me. I tried to blame the dog. That’s funny that you bought it.

Really? Becuase I could have sworn that I was sitting right there when she walked by my glass and knocked it over. Generally I am inclined to buy my memory above yours, however if you are openly admitting fault here, i think I’m going to have to go with your story. But still…
