I''m engaged!

[CheshireSmile]

It actually happened a few weeks ago, but life has been such a whirlwind since it happened that I haven't had time to post.

He asked me on our fifth anniversary; he recreated one of our first dates with dinner at a favorite restaurant we discovered when we were first dating, and then a walk by the river to enjoy a local art installation called waterfire. We sat by the river where we had our first kiss, and that's where he asked me! It was so perfect and wonderful.

I have pics of my gorgeous ring, but am having some trouble posting - help please? I don't know what I'm doing wrong, is it because I'm on a Mac?

Hi CheshireSmile

Congratulations on your engagement! It sounds like such a romantic proposal.
I'd love to see your ring.

Are your pictures too big?

When I post pictures I usualy crop and resize them in microsoft paint - maybe you have something similar in Mac?
Resizing using pixels is helpful - I often choose 600 pixels wide, but feel free to experiment with larger sizes.
Then save the image as a .jpg (they are pretty small sizewise) and make sure you use a unique file name (ie the first 3 digits of your phone number, then a word)

Once you've altered the image it should be small enough to post.

Does that help?

cheers,

HD

Congrats! sounds beautiful.

If you are having trouble posting pictures, you can email admin your pictures along with the link and ask them to post for you. Otherwise, you will have to rename your file with some odd number and letters and see if that works.

 

[CheshireSmile]

Ok, let''s see if this works.

*fingers crossed*

 

[CheshireSmile]

Yay it worked! Ok, here''s more
