It was distorted and blurred, so I've gone back to the original photo, cropped it, and am now testing to see the result:

Hi NorthAmerica:

I bought I piano!! I want to thank you for helping me along the way on my piano search.

Anyway, was your original picture for the avatar not square? If you shrink and crop your picture into a square 1"x1", then upload it, it might not be distorted. I think it got distorted because it needs to be conformed into a square shape.

BTW, what kind of floor lamp do you have behind your grand? I still love your music room. smile

Excerpt from post by mamabird:

You're absolutely right. I finally figured it out, and cropped the picture; now I have to upload the revised photo.

About the rest of your post, mamabird: I'm happy if my comments helped at all in your search for a piano. And that lamp is one made by Frederick Cooper, a Chicago-based lamp company. About twice a year they have sales at their factory, and there are some pretty good deals on lamps that are fairly expensive the rest of the year.

God, I hope I've done this right.

OK, in a private message to Jodi earlier today, I learned (I think) how to do this. So, crossing fingers here goes.

If this turned out right, what you are looking at is a partial view out my office window taken a couple of minutes ago of one of St. John's, Newfoundland's most famous landmarks - Signal Hill. I took it using a Sony Maciva digital camera using the sepia effect. Dull cloudy and rainy here today, and it looks like a cloudy hand is trying to envelop the hill.

Jamie

PS: Yay...it worked! Thanks Frank ... and Jodi cool

Oh, good grief. I can't do anything right.

I have saved some pics onto my hard drive. And then I went to add them to the PW pic uploader. Everthing seemed to work OK, but then I never saw an URL. And I'm not listed among those who have submitted a pic.

Can anyone advise?

Please help, I have some nice pics from my sauter-trip to Spaichingen! Katie's waiting....

I had the same "problem." I just gave up, and then a little while later I received an e-mail giving me an URL. The how-to directions give the impression you will get an URL immediately after uploading, so I was impatient. Write here again if you don't receive an URL in your e-mail. smile

When I try to upload a pic, filling in all my info, it takes me to a list of maybe 50 submitters, of which is am not one. Is something cross-linked?
