h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You may, indeed, suggest where pics go.

However, I may need to put two together in a 'table' arrangement, depending on amount of text.

Not being difficult - we have limited formatting options here, and yes, it's on Brian's 'to-do' list.

Gah! If, as it appears from my Sent folder, Yahoo sent you an email starting "This is Part 2..." ignore that one! I had it open to paste August 10 and 11 into a new article, because I realized that I'd hit 6 pics. When I sent the finished article, it may have snagged the unfinished one, too, since they have the same title...

I've got one that starts, 'This summer, Tom, PaperKid, Notepad, and I went on the largest family trip we have ever taken.' Is that right?

And it has 4 pics, and 2 more arrived in another email.

PS Don't put '--' in GuideML entries. It won't load for the Post. Use a space and then – and then another space.

Oh, and don't worry - I did a find and replace.

I will stop posting, I promise. Sorry, it's late and I'm tired.

19 September is the date.

Yep, that's the one!

Well, the two

I'll have to check part 2 for "--" then...

At the rate Part 2 is going, you may have 2 parts in one issue, unless it's filling up already

3 weeks ahead? Wow, you are getting lots!

We are, indeed.

And that would be fine, if you have two parts in one issue.

Good, 'cause I will I'll just keep sending 'em as they get finished, and let you sort out how many per edition Once we actually enter Yellowstone, things will probably slow down to one entry per day of the trip--at that, choosing pictures might get tough. We did so much our last full day there that I just hope I can distill that down to only 6 pictures, but I might just have to have multiple articles in one edition again. Granted, cutting out the pics with people will help some with that, but still...

Wait...how many articles are you planning here?

Don't worry, we'll use them...but I'll spread 'em out.

Planning? What makes you think I have a plan? Though, after we leave Wyoming (we went through Grand Teton National Park, as well), there will probably be just one article to get us home--most of the pics after that have children in them as the focus

Now, speaking of pics, I do have a screenshot of a Google Map of our route (well, except for the driving inside Yellowstone itself--simple enough to do a new one to include that) if you think a banner is needed up top? Realistically, the travelogue will be at least 6 parts long, since we were gone for 13 days...

No, I don't think you need a banner.

Oh, almost forgot to credit Tom for his pics--he's U186907 (though he was only on here for a couple of months a long time ago--he's going to be 39 this November...)

He definitely needs photo credit for Part 1 (after all, *no* selfie stick is *that* long, since I'm on the porch of the Brown House), but I'm not certain about Part 2 (all the pics have been loaded onto one laptop, and displayed by date, so it's only the obvious ones that I can tell without going through the phones...) though it's not like it would hurt to credit him anyway.

I'm afraid it's kind of too late for that - the pictures have been loaded and credited to you.

Oh, well, we're one flesh, anyway

Considering that I used to sign Christmas cards from here when I was living about 300 miles away, I guess it's not too weird that I can take a picture of myself from some yards away

It's a pretty good trick.

I'm making a collection on Flickr for all the pics, with the pictures that line up with the dates each article covers in their own album (yeah, I know--I'm good at making extra work for myself)--so an August 8-10 album, an August 10-11 album, etc. I can give you the link to my collections page either her or via email, if you could add it to the ones you already have with some little blurb about it? Or I could email you the exact wording an coding, so you just need to copy-and-paste... Yeah, that'd probably be better, huh? Pics will be public before each publication date--right now, I'm still making sure I got them all! And I need to go through and weed out duplicates and such.
