Sorry it took so long to get back to you, ❀Tea❀. (computer problems) Afsana is correct: first time published.

[❀Tea❀]

No problem. Already started with that in mind :)
And I've listed books read after 1/3/13 but before yesterday when I officially started, if thats OK.

Are you using this html code?

< a href=“http://Internet URL goes here.” >text you want to see goes here< /a >

take out the spaces before and after the < > signs

[Lisa Kay]

Afsana, did you see Hyperlink to a Specific Post under GoodReads 101? Also, be sure to use " quote instead of these “ ”.

Thanks everyone I get it now. I was thinking before the copying by right clicking date and time would be all i needed to do . didn't put it in the other bit so now I know what I need to do

How did you get the pictures to change? ^_^

Melissa, I had to learn how to make a gif. My very first one was the flashing candy hearts for Who Do You Love B.I.N.G.O.?

The flashing gif was really frustrating for me. The instructions were perfect until right at the end. Couldn't quite get the multiple slides within one file to work like they said. I spent waaaaaay too much time on it. Plus, I'm always a little slow at the beginning of learning something. But, then I take off. If you need help toward the end, like me, I can send you screen prints.

The website for the hearts is here, and it takes you to picasion.com where you can add any picture you want, up to ten.

[Melissa (ladybug)]

Thank you so much Lisa Kay. I saw how your pictures were changing and wanted to know how to do that also!!!!!!! :D

[Lisa Kay]

YW. Did you do one, Melissa?
