more on Twilight series

Do we really need to keep going on and on about this? Probably not, but if we are thinking about it anyway, why not?


I recently discovered, to my great pleasure, that a good friend of mine in Idaho is also obsessed with these books. Here's what she had to say about it:

"Twilight...Oh, don't even get me started. Ok, never mind, do! It's a drug! How did she do it? I want to write a book like that. I mean, I've read books that you can't put down--Harry Potter, for instance--but I would never call them addicting. I loved it, but to be honest (and maybe this is something you talked about in your book group) I found it downright dangerous. It's all I wanted to do--read that book. No, be in that book. Be part of that book. I couldn't put it down. I wouldn't put it down. Everything real suffered around me, but it didn't matter, because I was with Edward Cullen in Stephanie Meyer's cruel little fantasy vampire land. And, yet, I'll definitely go back for more!"

She summed it up so perfectly for me and how I felt about it! I just had to share it in case anyone else felt like we hadn't exactly figured it out yet.

Posting Pictures

Ok. Posting pictures is really easy. Got click on the new post link and when you are in the "post" section you will notice a bunch of icons at the top of the page. Click on the one that looks like mountains w/ sky in the background. It is right next to the check spelling icon. When you click on the picture icon a little pop-up shows up. Under the heading Add an image from your computer there is a browse button. When you click on it you can search your computer for the image. It is probably easiest if you have the picture saved to your desktop, or somewhere else easy to look. Once you open it you just need to select the size you want it to be, and the location on the page. Once that is done click the Upload Image botton. You image will then load. If it has done it correctly then your image should appear in the pop-up box. Just click done. And then the image is automatically in your post.

Hope that was helpful.
