...Interestingly enough, I'm studying about the Bodhisattva path at the moment
But anyway, that wasn't why I was posting
I just thought I'd offer my services to help you fill your page with pretty pictures and other stuff, if you would like that

That would be brilliant!
If you could send me some instructions about how to insert pictures and other things I'd be more than grateful.

The first thing to check out is that, when you go to edit your page, make sure you've got the GuideML option selected rather than plain text...
Now /this/ is going to make things interesting, because now you have to worry about tags, which are a bit scary at first.
To make your paragraphs into real paragraps, put a at the beginning and a at the end, so that it would look like this:
" Hello! "
[but without the quote marks ]
When you've done that to all your paragraphs, you can start to put pictures in without too much fuss. You'll find all the images that you can use here: A692741 . You cannot, unless you're very resourceful, put up a picture not from here, I'm afraid. When you find the picture you want, copy the text in the box next to it. It will look something like this:
""
If you want to change where on the page you want your picture to appear, you just need to change that little bit of text that says "CENTER" to either "LEFT" or "RIGHT"
That should certainly be enough to get you started Let me know how you get on, and if you need some more tips

Thanks for this.
I think I can follow the instructions.
I'm fairly busy at work at the moment, but I'll certainly be in touch when I've attempted my first go.

I did it I did it!!
I am so grateful to you.
I've managed to put a picture of Budda on my "About me" page
I'll add more as I get more competent with the system.
Thanks once again.
