Congrats on the 8x8's.  Looks like the only way they could be better is if ya had 3 or 4 neighbor kids to move them.

DanG has a good tutorial on posting pics in Behind the Forum. It works except I can't save the cropped image. Puter god tells me it is a read only file ???

[highpockets]

sawguy21 if you had burned the photo to a cd it probably is read only. Go to explorer and right click on the file, choose properties and change it to an archive file, save.

Thanks highpockets, I'll try that. It was not burned to a CD but was on a shared file with Kodak EasyShare where I upload my photos.

one more question, Should I seal the ends of these 8"X8"? someone told me that they could crack? is this true? thanks

looks good, i'd seal them up with some sort of wax

Get some Anchorseal - only way to go.  You'll find contacts if you doo a search.

I got a  old roller and took a couple of those rectangular liquid detergent jugs,  one I cut most of the top off and the other I cut about a third of the bottom off of .  I filled about a quarter full with anchor seal and put the roller inside and then "put the lid on" , sliding the bottomless jug down over the topless (keeps it from spilling or drying out.  Any time I go to cut logs ,  I take it with me and seal them as soon as I cut them.  Helps a lot. 8) 8)
