Up and running...

[aliassak]

It's official. My blog is up and going. Funny thing is, this was so much easier to maintain and rework when I was running pMachines on my own server. Ahhh, those were the days-- that is, before I went and changed a bunch of things, and totally frelled my SQL database.

 

Now... If only I could get one of those cute little buttons... LOL! I don't suppose I have any volunteers for that?!?!?!!

 

Oh yeah, guess I could probably list my blog URL, huh?

Nice! I love blogs, but, with my web-site to manage, I just don't have the time.

 

Sorry, I don't do buttons. Can't. )

Great blog Amy!

[RebeccaVelasquez]

dang, i made a really realllly cute button for amy and i can't get it to save right?????? someone with one of those cool programs wanna help out?

i can't get all the white around it off..

[kariholtz]

You making a .gif with white as trasparent color? Sometimes a color isn't just one color (different shades of colors) so it won't all disappear. I can't figure anything to stop it but you can go in a clean it up or have someone else do it for you. I can't right now but if no one does this weekend I can monday.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

okay, guess i should have been more clear. i made it in word, then what i usually do is copy/paste the picture to a program that allows me to crop as a jpeg, but for whatever reason... that program is not on my computer:huh

hubby is out of town, and the guts of the computer are his thing......

so, what i was thinking is that i could email someone the word document, and they could take the picture and crop it?????

 

i've had a cup or two (okay, 3) so maybe now that made more sense

[Donna]

Sure, e-mail it to me Rebecca. donna at yarntomato.com.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

it's on it's way, thanks donna!

let me know what you think about it.....

[aliassak]

I gotta run for now and keep DD out of the stash that I just bought at HL. Found some good deals on eyelash!!

Rebecca, to save a button from Word, all you have to do is this:

 

File > Save As > Web Page (in the drop-down box under Save as type)

 

Your file will be saved as a web page and the image will be saved as either a gif or jpg, depending on what's in it. So, if you called your document cutebutton, when you save it as a web page, you will have a file called cutebutton.html and a folder called cutebutton_files. Look in the folder and you will find either a gif or jpg of the button you created. EDIT: After reading Julie's post below, I realized Word has never saved any as a jpg for me, always gifs. So maybe it doesn't do jpg after all.

Awesome tip! I am gonna try that!

 

Thanks, Donna!:)h

The .gif saves better, sometimes a .jpg gets all wavy looking. Just my <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/twocents.gif" />

You're welcome! :)h

Hmm. . . now that I think about it Word has never saved one as a jpg for me anyway. Maybe it only does gifs. I agree, they are usually clearer.
