can I just say
that I love
~like really love~
my new camera lens
?
thanks for letting me get that off my chest
~~
okey dokey
QUESTION numero uno
"do you have a new blog"
~
yes
I have another blog
just for when I need a little extra space for photos
~but not to replace this blog~
and
I love it
~but not quite as much as I love my new camera lens~
and
the new kick ass banner I made for it
yep
I'm in love with that
too
~
QUESTION numero dos
"where did ruby luna come from"
~
first
thank you all so much for giving me name suggestions for my photography blog
I love all of you for your thoughtful suggestions
but
in the end
as oprah would say
I had a lightbulb moment and came up with
all on my own
~~
ruby
for the grandmother who helped make me who I am today
and
luna
for the beautiful luna moth that flew around my house this summer
with her broken crunchy wings
and
made me smile every morning when I found her resting in a new spot
~~
QUESTION numero tres
"is changing the html for your photos really easy enough for anyone to do"
~
YES
and
here's how you do it
~~
once you upload your photo on your post
in the upper right corner of your post box click on "edit html"
your picture will be gone
and
some very foreign looking stuff will be there instead
look for this
:400px;height:266px;
delete everything BETWEEN the left colon and the right semi colon
and
what will be left
is the colon and semi colon now sitting right next to each other
~~
PERFECT
okay
and
now one more thing
look a little bit further in that foreign stuff
until you find
s400
delete ONLY the 4 of the s400 and change it to either 64 OR 80
so that new number is now s640 or s800
depending on how big you want your photo to be
and
now back in the right hand corner
click compose
and
WOW
wha-la
you will love love love your new big photo
I promise
~~
whew
this was much longer than I had anticipated
but sometimes when you're full of love
that's what happens
*
already

From your first Ruby Luna fan, keep working your magic!
