Thanks for the note. But one VERY important thing to remember---If the post is going to be very long at all, ALWAYS compose the post offline in some kind of a word processing program and then copy and paste the note into the board. The reason to do this is that, because if you take a long time to create your note, the board could time out on you and everything that you just typed online is LOST--gone forever!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> So, compose offline, then preview the note to make sure it looks like you want it to look, and then you can always go back and edit the note, before it's actually posted. And you do have a limited amount of time to edit your post, even AFTER it's posted. Usually it's a couple of hours. I don't know how Beerman does his trip reports in particular, but I create most offline, and post it WITHOUT any pictures to begin with. When I post it, I know where I'm going to put the pictures, and often I put some extra lines, or a description where I am going to insert the picture(s). Then I go in and edit and add the pictures in. I have unlimited time to edit my posts, so Beerman may not do it that way. But you do have, as I said, about two hours to edit your post, after you make it. And remember, preview is your friend! You can always preview your post (or picture, etc) and see how it will look, and if it isn't right, you can fix it before you even post it. Or, if you're really apprehensive, just use the testing forum. That's what it's for.
