Medieval Reference & Book Site

Post by Misfit » Fri November 7th, 2008, 7:00 pm

Laura found this link and asked me to post it here. It looks like there's some nice reference/resources there.

PS, Laura how to do this. Copy the URL of the site you have, then highlight the word where you want the link to be, click on the Insert Link Button above in the center of the second field, a box pops up and paste the URL there. Took me forever to figure that one out and I only learned how to do a picture yesterday :)

Misfit- if you've worked out ow to insert an image, I'd be grateful if you could explain how you did it. I haven't had any luck. I have tried inserting images using my Flickr URL via the insert image icon at the top of the posting box with no success :(

Didn't Steven T use to post on this forum at one stage? Maybe he lost us!

Annis I don't recall a Steven T but something very similar. Maybe DL can help us. As for a pic I think it was Vanessa who helped me (thanks!!). Say like you want to post a google image. Hold the mouse over the picture, right click and chose properties. You'll see the URL there. Copy that, come back here and click on the insert image option (above) and past the URL there.

As for other pics like pet pics, I haven't advanced to that yet. I'm working on it though. :o :)

Cheers, Misfit. I'm using a Mac with a mouse that doesn't have left or right click options so I'm not sure if it will work. I'll give it a go, though!

Thanks DL. Annis, can't imagine a mouse without a right or left click option but you put me in mind of the havoc created at work when anyone besides me gets on my PC. I'm both handed and a few years ago I fractured an elbow and had to switch to the left handed mouse option, and I never went back. It drives them nuts when they try to right click on my mouse, it does not produce the options they're looking for. :D :D :D

And I do recall a Steven T posting on the old forum.
