Enlarging our blog photos in our posts

At last nights meetings one of the better known modelers in So. Cal admitted his lack of computer knowledge by complaining that the photos in our posts " where small"...

A quick explaniation to him, as well as information to the more computer literate in our group, revealed that to enlarge a photo in our posts merely requires the user to place his cursor over the said photo and it click and it will then reveal a larger image.

For this particular person , what that means is you put your right hand on the mouse, put your cursor (the little arrow on your screen) over the photo, and click down once on the left button on your mouse, and viola (that's French) your photo appears larger! To go back to the original photo size, and hence back to the post and blog, simply repeat the process.

If that does not work, then turn off your computer, unhook your wireless connection and power down your router, then unhook and power down your modum, then wait, go have a burger at McDonalds or build a model, then, a day or two later come back and rehook in your power to your modum, then rehook in your power to your wireless router, then re-boot (that means turn on) your computer, and remember to turn on your monitor as well. Then once your computer is booted up (and that means wait until all the flashing lights are off, or the little hourglass on the screen goes way) - then go to your internet browser and go back to our website http://www.pasadenamodelers.blogspot.com and follow the above directions when you want to see a larger photo.

Print these insturctions out Ken so you know how to make the photos larger !!!
