Opal, if you would be so kind… My picture won’t work. I am guessing it to be too far embedded into the MSN photo album. If you get a chance to take a look it would be much appreciated… If I can’t get it to work from there, I’ll upload it elsewhere. [http://communities.msn.com/kattnhuc](http://communities.msn.com/kattnhuc) is the home page. [http://content.communities.msn.com/isapi/fetch.dll?action=show\_photo&ID\_Community=KattNHuc&ID\_Topic=1&ID\_Message=24](http://content.communities.msn.com/isapi/fetch.dll?action=show_photo&ID_Community=KattNHuc&ID_Topic=1&ID_Message=24) is the link I get once I have drilled down to the picture, which is in the “Shoebox” photo album. It works for me from here, but I can’t seem to make it work in the profile. Hmph. ---

I’ll check in a minute… I get a “server is temporarily unavailable” message when I try now. ---

Is there or will there be an option to upload a photo from the harddrive for those of us who do not want to use or start a website? ---

I posted mine, but my “favorite links” part was kinda screwy - kept putting up the default links when I cleared them on the edit page. Esprix ---

Sax: You can sign up for webspace at fathom ( [http://fff.fathom.org/pages](http://fff.fathom.org/pages) ) and upload files there. You don’t need to create a web page go to with it, you get 2mb of space. Esprix: Yes, it has to have a value for all three links, unfortunately. If you leave them blank, they’ll be filled in with the default. Hey, it was a free script! ---
