Sir, Madame,
Could you please help me. How do I start my own blog. I don't know what to do. I am not listed on the members list yet, so I don't know how to go about this.
Am I perhaps too new to be allowed?
sincerely
Eugenie

Hi Admin. I don't know how to post a picture onto the "Picture Poetry Contest" site, so I'm going to have to bother you. I have it in my album, in my profile, picture #8, by Brent Heighton. I've been trying everything and I can't transfer the picture to "Picture Poetry Contest". I know I'll feel foolish and that the instructions must be staring me in the face somewhere. Can you give me a nudge in the right direction, please?
