In my opinion and it may not be only mine but, I think this website is no where near as good as it used to be, mainly because of those greedy people at photobucket. There are not enough pictures being uploaded to our site as there used to be so as I am an idiot when it comes to computers I have bitten the bullet and asked my young granddaughter to teach me how to do it. Within fifteen minutes she taught me so I could write it all down in a way that other people who were interested could also understand. And to be honest I think it is even better than photobucket and if I can do it, any one can. So people here you are below, read on.
