You know, I never really loved Extras. Maybe my standards were too high after The Office and the stand up dvds, but I almost feel like Ricky let me down. It was a sad sad day.

What’s wrong with Lulubelle, imagine going for a walk with your dog and calling out ‘Lulubelle! Here boy!’ Also, I am from the bogan capital of New Zealand, so…

Thanks so much for all the advice on the photos, I’ll try it sometime!

I laughed at the dog’s name. “Wanted a really gay dog”, that’s awesome! I can’t believe your dad insisted on Louis, what’s wrong with Lulubelle?

Photos: That’s the one thing that vaguely annoys me about WordPress, you can’t load them directly. You need to load them onto an image hosting site (I use Photobucket), and then use the image urls- it’s the “direct link” in the list of urls under the photos once you load them. I usually reduce them in size using Photoshop before I load them, to make them load faster.

Then in WordPress, that little icon above the box where you type your post that looks like a tree. Make sure the blinky text thing is in the spot where you want the picture, then click the little tree icon. In the first box, I think it says “Image url” or something to that effect, put in the url from photobucket. I then add a little border (usually 5), and type in 10 and 10 for vertical/horizontal spacing to make sure the text isn’t too close. I also resize it in WordPress- in the bit for dimensions, I reduce it down to about 200×266, unless I specifically want it to be a bigger pic.

Phew… hope that helps.
