  I’m trying to put pictures from Wikimedia in my blog. This is something I have done often. For the last three days the box that I put the url for the picture in has appeared at the top of my computer screen in a way that does not allow me to adjust the size of the picture so that it will fit in my blog. It’s way up there and I can’t get to the part that allows me to alter the size. Only the bottom third of the box appears on my screen. I can get the picture in but not mess with the size. Any suggestions? Thank you.

  Can you give us a link to the picture? (And I can’t seem to get to the blog linked in your user name)

  Ah, no wonder I was having trouble getting to your site! The blog in your username is http://liberaltexas.wordpress.com/, which is, obviously, backwards. You’re going to want to fix that ;)

  Well, there’s nothing wrong with the picture and I had no trouble resizing it to fit on my test blog. http://vjptestblog2.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/test-link-pic-tx-lib/ So it’s gotta be on your end somewhere. So let’s start with the obvious.

  What browser and version are you using? (I’m using FF 3.0.3)

  Have you tried logging out, clearing your browser cache and cookies, closing and restarting your browser? http://faq.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/clear-the-browsers-cache/

  Um, staff doesn’t take kindly to spamming the forums. If you want to pimp your blog, do it in the off-topic forums, not the support forums.

  And you misspelled the url of your blog.

  Ms. Paige–Thanks for your time– I’ll fix my user name deal. And right now I’ll try this cleaning out you’ve suggested and report back.

  Honestly I’m not certain what browser and version I’m using. Or what any of that means. I’m lucky to know what model car I am driving. I’ll see if I can figure that stuff out as well.

  I did the clean up but that did not work. I have an Internet Explorer browser. Or so I’m told. But when I did the clean up thing it said I had an attyahoo browser as my default browser.

  I guess that may not be so helpful. I’m a bit out of my element with this stuff. If you have any questions about about Henry Clay or M.L. King I could be more helpful.
