Oddball Blanket #1 is Complete!

[feminine_earth]

Whoohoo! This is exciting! I'm stealing the button, too!

I'm in...

Depending on when I get the blanket I may only be able to do a few rows. I've got a lot going on now, but should have time to do this.

I'll be PMing you Sandy.

I like the idea of "the blanket is in......." that will help each of us know about when the blanket will get to us. And even if I can't get around to see all of you, at least my knitting can.

How do I add the little to my signature?

I finally got the "button" to work.



Sandy - I was just thinking, is there a charity close to you that you will present the blanket to, or will you have to mail it off?

How do you put up the button?

I have always wanted a button, from various things, but don't know how to do it.

My first try failed so somebody please tell me.

Cool Melissa! If more Charlotte knitters want to help, we can work on it over the next few weeks, then I'll mail it out to the next person in line.

You know I'm in.

Here's what I did to get the button to work.

I went to

http://www.photobucket.com

registered with them.

Uploaded the 'button' from

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/143/3...1056d984_o.jpg

which added it to my 'album'

then I clicked on the HTML link under the picture (on the left side of page in my case) then it gave me an option at the bottom of creating the tag. I copied the url thingy that wasn't a clickable thumbnail and then pasted it to my KH signature.

That sounds complicated, but it's really not.

I don't know if this helps or makes it more confusing.

How do you put up the button?
:

Find the post where Shandeh linked the button and click the link. It brings you to a blank page with just the button on it. Right click the picture and choose "properties". In the middle field it says something like this:

Address: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/129/3...4ad6c750_o.jpg
(URL)

Copy the address from the "http" to the "jpg" (actually, I bet you can just copy it from my post right here.

Then go to your profile and in the "signature" section paste the above URL between the Image tags.
So it will say
[*img]http://farm1.static.flickr.com/129/399775715_664ad6c750_o.jpg[/img*]

(Take out the asterisks when you do it, and it should show up properly)

Hope that works for you!
(And I hope this doesn't mean I'm improperly stealing Shandeh's bandwith with my button. Should I copy the button to my own flickr account?)
