Leroy...thanks for your comment on my Much Ado About Nothing editorial. And let me say, it's good to see another NU fan here! I was the first in four generations of my family NOT to go to NU, but I was raised an NU fan, and my Dad was Willie the Wildcat while he was a student at NU. Pat Fitzgerald is the man...I just hope he doesn't get lured away by big bucks somewhere else one of these days.

Hi Leroy. Yes, pictures have to be within a certain size in order to be uploaded. I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager and have to resize all my photos to web small - 448 x 336 pix and that works. Try resizing to around that. If you still have problems, post a note to saraswathi sirigina - she is a top writer on the Formula 1 page. She has a tutorial she can share. Also, is you type in the name of the driver/team, Bleacher Report now has an agreement with Getty Images and we have access to their photo bank for pictures, which are quite good.
Hope that helps and again welcome. Keep reading, commenting, writing and even editing (there is also a tutorial for that) - that's how you move up in rankings.
Take care - any other questions, just holler!
