ADDING PICTURE GALLERIES

I'm in a funny mood today - I think it's the weather: grey, dull, depressing. It rained all night long and well into the morning, and although it has stopped for now, I think it's just gathering strength to carry on raining for the duration. I'm in that sort of mood where you don't really feel like doing anything much - but you know you'll feel guilty if you don't at least make an effort.

So, braced with a VERY strong coffee, I decided that today's the day to try and get to grips with inserting picture galleries, to add a little interest to the blog. I chose Slide as it's all done for you, and I really really like the effect. (I spent a good half hour playing with all the special effects). So here you are, several little galleries of past works.

I am still trying to get to grips with the new website programme, and getting nowhere fast. It's a very easy click, drag & drop template-based one, but lately I seem to be very fuzzy headed with technical stuff. Is it age? (don't answer that one!) I read and re-read the same paragraph over and over, and nothing seems to make any sense.

I also want to organise all my pix and it seems such a monumental job: scattered over 30 backup CDs, with too many duplicated on every single one. My INTENTIONS are to get back to basics: find the original scans or photos, and work from them; delete all the old stuff; update onto the external hard drive - then maybe I will actually manage to find what I'm looking for.

Anyhow, today I am feeling that at least I've done something - I can use the same little Slide galleries to put onto the website as & when, if I want to, which is a real bonus (being so very IT-challenged).

Hope you enjoy them!
