If you have one of those old MacMice with only one button, you cannot right-click but you can CTRL-click, which does the same job<BR/>-save the image to somewhere you can remember on your hard drive<BR/>-go to your blogger dashboard and edit the post you want to put the button in (if you want the button in the sidebar, you'll have to find more help. I cannot figure out how theming works in blogger)<BR/>-put the cursor where you need the image in your post, and then click the 'add image' button in the toolbar. I guess you can find your way from there.mandarinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413240094728405118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-30637344093187732902007-08-20T06:58:00.000-04:002007-08-20T06:58:00.000-04:00Dorr, I completely forgot that you were reading 13...Dorr, I completely forgot that you were reading 13 classics this year as well. I'm feeling much better now about the possibility of not getting through all mine.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, here I am, one foot in the dark side and the other to follow soon.<BR/><BR/>Becky, yes, I've just read how coffee is very good for you. (Of course, the person saying that was William Campbell Douglass, who will tell you just about anything is good for you.)<BR/><BR/>I like that measuring success retrospectively, which might mean I've read more for my challenges than I might think. Certainly, I have for the nonfiction five, and maybe even for adult classics, if I can say, for instance, that Armistead Maupin has reached "classic" status. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, "the button" I'm talking about is here: http://outmodedauthors.blogspot.com/2007/08/possible-buttons.html.Emily Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971084813206845680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-9630666477712465792007-08-19T16:09:00.000-04:002007-08-19T16:09:00.000-04:00Now, I have read the post more than twice and stil...Now, I have read the post more than twice and still cannot see what is this 'the button' you are needing help with.<BR/><BR/>As for challenges, I stay at a neutral distance. I know there is no way I can read all these books, but I also know they give good ideas. Reading Lady Susan for the Slaves of Golconda was a good introduction to Austen's work, and made we want to go straight to her big novels.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I just love to measure my success retrospectively at challenges I did not take. Nonfiction five will be an easy one. I will probably go round in bogey with the thirteen classics. And as I intend to tackle the job of volunteer audio-book reader for LibriVox with children's books, I'll probably score OK at the children's classics too.mandarinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18413240094728405118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28169009.post-20155666791390802162007-08-19T13:27:00.000-04:002007-08-19T13:27:00.000-04:00Coffee is now good for you, you know.

I just chose authors I wanted to read and I hope I get through a few books (but no set limits).

You got me with the coffee analogy -- I've struggled with coffee like I've struggled with challenges -- but how can I resist? <BR/><BR/>I've decided I'll try to stick to challenges with rules as easy to follow as Imani's. Oh, and I've read 6 of my 13 classics, and I doubt I'll finish the other 7. I may get to a few more, but there's no way I can finish all of them, particularly when one of them is William James's Variety of Religious Experience.Rebecca H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10825532162727473112noreply@blogger.com
