I didn’t actually go anywhere, but due to a lack of time (with three Dobermans, who can blame me?) and some technical difficulties (first I couldn’t log in, then I couldn’t find my dashboard), I have not posted for several months.

Now, I’m back, but still having technical difficulties with posting my photos.  The above photo of Candy was originally 1.5 MB in size.  I resized it to 250 x 188 pixels (about 54 KB) using my photo editing software.  Then I uploaded it to my files here on WordPress.  But when I send it to the editor at full size, it looks like the original 1.5 MB file.  So I had to send it to the editor as a thumbnail instead, which is a lot smaller than I wanted it to appear.  But at least you can see the whole photo without having to scroll vertically and horizontally (and you still wouldn’t be able to look at the whole image at once).  I don’t understand why this happens.  All of the other photos I’ve posted successfully (that are mine) I think I linked to the medium size photo on Flickr.  This one I have not uploaded to Flickr yet.  What a PAIN IN THE BUTT!

I wonder if the folks at WordPress can tell me how to get around this problem.  A photo that is only 54 KB should not appear to be a few thousand pixels in size, right?

PS:  On March 30, Candy will be two years old — Happy Birthday, Sweetie Pie!
