Hi - Can you help me with the pictures. I have more pictures of my babies, but cannot figure out how to make more than one of them show up.

Sure they may need to be resized but I would be glad to help

All of you are such a wonderful group of people! You have made me feel welcome since the moment I signed up. My boys wear XX Small and X Small.
If any of you would like to sell any clothing I'd be interested in buying. I'm just starting out and have a way to go before my boys have cute stuff to wear.

I love to browse thrift shops. You never know what you might find. Yesterday I found a like new diaper pail. One of those kinds you step on a foot thingy and the tops opens. Cost a $1.00! That is also where I buy my boys blankets. When I get home I just wash and dry them and they are ready to use. I'm posting the thrift shop info as a part of my pitching in to help other newbies.
Since they may not have thought about it.

To anyone that has trouble resizing their own pictures for posting on these forums, I found a great website that does it for you. This way, you do it online, without having to use an application. Here is an example of their first page, where all you do is upload your own pic:

They even have a little tutorial if you have trouble.
The next example is from a picture I used, to illustrate cropping to a YT required dimension of 640 X 480 pixels, (800 by 600 is also accepted):


See how easy that looks? This is great tool for folk new to uploading pictures onto the web, that are unfamiliar with how to resize them. It also allows you to shrink photos by percentage, and to add special effects. Once your picture is uploaded, it does everything for you. When complete, you just download the finished product to your desktop. Example:

Hope that helps any new comer,

Thrift shops are a great idea! I bought a playpen for Mango at one, and I used it to keep her contained and safe when in my bedroom; she also had her little crate in it, where she slept at night.
