The microphone was a little quirky to. When I tried it using my explorer browser, it condensed a long message into half the time by overlapping. I tried with firefox and had better luck.

Mike, I have a MacBook but can't figure out the microphone thing. How did you do it?

Sitting here in Florida in a very hot summer.....I definitely enjoyed the slide show. Eddie and Jack are both so handsome, but I agree with the person that said Eddie might take over the world !! ....what a adventurer !!! Thanks for sharing with us on YT.

Hmm, you should have a built-in microphone. Once you get to the page, just click microphone and you'll see a choice to record your own voice.

A better way, I discovered last night, is to select the phone choice. It gives you an 800 number to call to record your voice. And then it updates instantly. Sound is better too.

OK...thank you so much. I think I'll try the phone. I kept trying to use the microphone but couldn't get it to work. I was using Safari and haven't tried any other browser yet. Maybe that was the problem with the microphone option.

Yeah, it was clunky for me too. It kept blending all my words together. Firefox worked a little better but still not perfect. Do the phone. It's much better.

I ended up trying the phone and it worked great. I still can't get the microphone one to work. It won't even begin recording but I gave up because the phone was so easy and worked great. Thanks again for the tip.

Great tip Mike, Mac user here also.... I too tried the microphone on both Safari and Firefox and couldn't get it to work...hence the automated voice....will have to give it a try using the phone. All these are a hoot....I'm am totally enjoying viewing them all....everyone did such a good job...and the creativetily is surly showing....

Good question...I can't find them. (I made two) Might be because they have to send you an invite to join. I've requested that twice and still haven't got one...so the site will not let me set up my user profile. Another weird thing, I sent one to my daughter and she got it. Then I sent it to myself and it never showed up.

Maybe I'll get the request tomorrow. Hope then I will be able to access ones I've already made.

Ha ha! That's perfect. I always suspected that destructiveness was payback.

I see you figured out how to get the link. I've been e-mailing myself an invitation to view, then copying the link once I get there.

Yes...thank you. It does help to type your email address correctly though...but on my laptop the print is sooooo small. I need to get a magnifying glass. UGG!!! It was all I could do to read the toll free number and my code!!!
