Thank you Lorelei, for those instructions on how to go about sorting our photo albums. Clay, - I had not done anything about it, yet, as I just did not feel confident to fiddle...!!! However, with Lorelei's instructions printed off, and sitting beside me, I will give it a go. I am not sufficientl

Avital If one of us logs on to flickr as arachne2003 and then forgets to sign out, would that prevent others from signing on to the flickr arachne2003 account? Flickr is a creation of yahoo, just as picasa is run by google. And I have discovered that I can be logged on to flickr only as myself, o

Yes, they think the subway could flood for the first time. My husband and I went out to the grocery to pick up some cans of soup and a rotisserie chicken. However, we were told the chickens wouldn't be ready for 45 minutes. We drove around aimlessly for amusement, finally stopping at a sto

I found it was alright once I had saved the photo site to my favorites, and I think it is now sorted. While I was logged on as "Clay" I didn't receive emails from my yahoo groups, so that was a bit of an issue. Sue sueba...@comcast.net - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com

Hello All! After the very thorough flickr tutorial, I decided to do my part by visiting, organizing & labeling. NOT!! I successfully logged in but after viewing 417 pictures (twice!), I didn't find any that belong to me. So I rechecked the webshots site & found both of my folders there. So-

Members around the world may not know that the east coast of USA is under dire storm warnings for the next 3 days. Arachne's home computer is in the area that will be hit. Wide spread power outages are predicted so there is the possibility that Arachne will be cut off for a time. Hurricane Sa

<> I have to wonder if we can really compare pre-industrial work patterns with those of our era. While it is possible to work 13 hours in a day, is it reasonable to think that one could work at lacemaking or weaving 13 hours a day, five days a week, in an era when you had to kill your ow
