  I am trying to crop a photo before putting it on my page, but the changes will not take effect. I could crop it somewhere else, and then save it, and find it, and put it on my page, but using W.P. to do it would be faster, if it would actually work. Any ideas how I get it to work? Tks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  As long as I can remember, it has never worked.
  It’s sort like my laundry basket, where there is always more to do but never completely finished…

  Thank you. Can’t be that hard to fix that.

  Another idea: can you open your photo in some sort of paint program? You can then crop your photo, one side at a time, by using the dotted box tool. Just put the box around the part you want to cut and hit delete. Or, draw a box around the part you want to keep, click copy, and paste it into a new document. Most paint-type programs will allow you to save your work as a JPEG.
