What I can tell you is how it is to be raising kids while dealing with the whole thing. Mine were 2, 4, 6, and 8 when I was diagnosed 17 years ago, and we all turned out fine.

I will hand this to him, and thank you. Much appreciated. We do have ftp, I know that much. Thanks!<BR/><BR/>(And those days when he thinks I should know more than I do, I smile sweetly, point out the raw fleece over there, tell him he's seen me do it often enough, his mom taught him to knit when he was 10, he did it, he should remember how, and that I want a blue Aran, thankyouverymuch. That usually rescues us both with a laugh.) No, but the resident geek does. I will hand this to him, and thank you. Much appreciated. We do have ftp, I know that much. Thanks!

I always edit my blog in html...and I use only basic tags. The image and centering tags are basic and easy. Enclose an image using this tag: img src="" using the less than and greater than jobbies around the tag. If you want them centered enclose the image tag using this : center /center (enclosing "center" in those bracket jobbies as well) You take the power out of Blogger's hands. If you upload (ftp software is free) your images to your own host or a hosting site such as photobucket, you can bypass blogger that way as well. The image upload tool on blogger is too finicky for my liking.<BR/><BR/>Personally I use blogger for it's template and organisation of my archives and that's it--oh and comments--although no one uses mine ;).<BR/><BR/>Good luck--if you need help I am a short click away. Can I help?

Personally I use blogger for it’s template and organisation of my archives and that’s it–oh and comments–although no one uses mine ;).

Good luck–if you need help I am a short click away.
