Found you!

Hello everyone,

I posted in the shameless promotion forum first because I couldn't seem to find this thread. Now that I have, I'd like to ask a few questions. First, does anyone know how I can enlarge my cover photo under my name? Second, how do I make a live link to my book? Thanks for any help you can give me.

You'll need to "blow up" the cover image using some sort of graphics program.

Once you've been a member of the forum for a certain length of time, you'll be able to add a "signature" to your posts in which you can, if you wish, add a discreet hyperlink to your book.

Welcome Joyce,

you mean this?

Go this post , follow it up and you will learn everything. In no time.

joycedb · 04-09-2010, 05:51 PM

Beppe, I clicked on the link you put in your post, but got a message saying it was not a valid address and to type in the address, which I can't do because I don't know it.

Sparrow, I didn't understand your post. Do you mean if I use the picture from my website, it will come through in the proper size?

To all the other posters, thank you.

You are right. I made a mistake and did not check the link. Silly of me.
Try now and it will work.

Joyce,, I have a quick idea for your profile picture size.
Just right click on your book cover picture in this thread, choose "save image as" and save it to your desktop. Then just go back and upload to your avatar.

I just tried that and it saved as my avatar pic..

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

I downloaded the image from the website to my PC, then I selected the image on my PC as my avatar to get a full sized version.

Thanks to all who welcomed me and to those trying to help me. I have a few things now I have to try to get my cover pic at the right size. One of them might work. The next time you see me post, it might show it correctly. Who knows? Thanks again.

Okay, I just tried Dreams solution and while it shows up correctly on my user cp, after I click save changes I get a message saying it failed. I have to think on this some more. I'm a little confused on Sparrow's suggestion about downloading from my website to my pc then select because it's already on my pc. Not sure what she meant. So I'm still taking suggestions if anyone has any more. Thanks.

joycedb · 04-10-2010, 11:48 AM

Okay, it worked! Then why did I get a message saying it failed? Hmm, darn computers. Thanks to all.
