Your moving Tod looks fine to me, Don. Just a blip I'd guess.
MJ - thanks for that clip! Fantastic voice.

Why does my moving Beatrix Potter cover appear when bbm quotes me, but not at the moment in my original post? I was quite proud to do my first moving image. I quoted my original post, and my stuff setting up the images is still there.
Just wondered.
Hot links to someone else's pictures (ie quoting their url directly) are often a bit dodgy Don B. You're effectivel stealing their bandwidth, so a lot of web site administrators will actively block anyone from hot linking to images on their sites. Usually you then get nothing displayed but sometimes you get a friendly or not-so-friendly replacement image. If you view the image directly, it's in your browser's cache (the folder where images are stored during a session so you don't have to keep downloading them each time you display them) so will contrinue to appear until your cache is cleared. However, I haven't got a clue what's happening with your image, I couldn't see either yours or BBM's copy at first but then I could suddenly see both - and I hadn't viewed it directly. Images are sometimes visible to some but not to others, which can lead to confusion. Using "move" further muddies the water - I've never used it myself, it's so passé  Browsers are a bit like our brains really, we assume that we see the world in the same way as everyone else but we've no way of knowing if we really do.  |

It's back now, andy.
When I link to my Flickr account, the image gives two options. It implies the second should be used (not the url) but I can never get a picture to show using the other text.
Does that make any sense. (Bear of little brain here, and long words bother me.)

Flickr would prefer you to use the link to their webpage (the first one) so that your image appears in their context - HOWEVER, the first link uses HTML tags which won't work on a forum like this. eg <a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/18291155@N00/2476107335/" title="P5080606 by Andy DDDDD, on Flickr"><img src=" http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2149/2476107335_d801de6133_b.jpg" width="1024" height="768" alt="P5080606" /></a> If you use the 2nd link (enclosed in IMG tags), you'll display the image directly using its url. Photobucket gives you both HTML code and IMG code. |

Milly had a night out last night! Unusual for me to get out these days but mum came overnight to babysit. I had a great time. It was a private function with a champagne buffet and disco. I danced all night in ridiculous shoes with 5" heels and feel none the worse at all this morning. Went to bed at about 2.30 a.m. and got up at 7. Did me the world of good! I love dancing more than anything else I think. Also very happy because I booked a summer holiday for child and myself. He breaks up two weeks before the State schools so I was able to get a really good deal. We're away for a fortnight, just the two of us. Excited already!  |

And that's what I do, Andy. Will Flickr get cross with me and wreak awful revenge? Flickr have just said I must pay them if I want to add further pictures and access some of those already loaded. Is it worth it? |

I remember when the internet was free, well it was 1 pound an hour but other things were free. When I originally set up a business website search engines found me real easy. Now a geographical search for a business like mine in the county or town or city doesn't find my site so easily, and it's because Yahoo and Google now use their Maps software and give preference to 'subscribers' and they put those subscribers on a rotation and put little flags on the map. I enquired about subscribing and it would cost me over £1000 a year. Well, with my modest turnover, and the fact that I don't need many customers I won't bother. Sorry this should be a grump. |

Flickr will probably get very angry with you Don B  Flickr have just said I must pay them if I want to add further pictures and access some of those already loaded. Is it worth it?
When I was moved from Yahoo Photos to Flickr, they gave me a pro account for a few months, which I assume is what you're talking about. As I didn't pay, it's now reverted to being a free account: * 100 MB monthly upload limit (10MB per photo) * 3 sets * Photostream views limited to the 200 most recent images * Post any of your photos in up to 10 group pools * Only smaller (resized) images accessible (though the originals are saved in case you upgrade later) That's enough for me, but if you're exceeding those limits, then you could always set up a new Yahoo Id and creat a new Flickr account. It just means you'd have to log in and out all the time. |

Thanks, andy. So I can continue to add, but only see the latest 200. Right. Now I know. I have been linking to medium images here. Will I only be able to post small ones in future?

What they mean is that you can't link to the full sized image, only a max of 1024x768 px, which is certainly adequate for posting online. With a pro account, you can link to the unreduced original.

A happy day because I had a little breakthrough composing. I won't bore with the details, but I wonder how many of the composers (or other creators) here find this familiar. I spend a lot of time pontificating to students about mental attitudes to creativity - how to get over blocks, how to get ideas flowing etc., how to not worry about a first attempt at something being polished/finished/any good at all. And yet do I follow my own advice very often? Do I? Well, today I did, and some rather wonderful things started to happen.
<not smug but a bit tired of being me most of the time, although temporarily reprieved and looking forward to clambering around the modest hillocks of compositional possibility tomorrow like some Welsh goat with the wind in its fleece and an intimation of all not being lost, at least for the time being, albeit with the immovable prospect that Monday may bring a renewed sense of the creatively suspect, and that the good work will be undone, in which case Tuesday will seem like another portal, the doors to which could either rustily resist the doubtful pressure I may bring to bear or, like Door 5 in Bluebeard's Castle, swing open in a blaze of awesome and terrifying brilliance beckoning me forth into the heady but very uncertain glow of musical adventure emoticon>

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.
