    Default New Blog post!

    Hey all, I'm playing with the whole Blog thing and I have my first real entry.

    Please check out: https://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/blogs/53556-Carl23
    And let me know what you think!

    Question for those more experienced with this interface: It seems like the graphics that I added size themselves randommly. They all look fine if you click on them, but in-line a lot of them are hard to make out.

    Is there any way to control how they render? minimum rendering size?

    Is there a better way to prepare them? specific pixel limits?

    Thanks for any feedback on any front.

    :-)

    Ok... this is embarrassing...

    How do you publish a draft blog post?

    I thought I did it… but now I can’t find the “publish” button.

    ???

    Hi Carl thanks for the invitation!

    about the images: This software auto renders a thumbnail linked to the larger image. There are things you can do to enhance presentation, for instance:

    1. Put each on a separate line, by adding a ‘carriage return ‘ or two between images.

    2. Of your editor is in WYSIWYG mode, you can click the image in the editor and adjust the thumbnail size. Scott mentioned this in a thread somewhere, and I found it very helpful. If I could I’d link that thread for you, because it has a step-by-step explanation.

    Sorry about the typos, I’m thumb typing on a phone. I think your blog post is published; I’ve read it, and Scott has responded to it.

    Try looking again... I found the publish setting (I think?)

    You should see a new entry "1 finger 2 frets 4 strings"

    Wicked long. :-)

    I'll look into the thumbnail think after getting some sleep. :-)

    Thanks!
