My school just sent me my School Photo in my horrid uniform.I'm rebbeling in it because I'm not actually allowed to have my hair down:p
Hi Logos, thanks for finding my inquiries on here. I am having problems uploading the picture to add to my signature. I have a photo in there presently of a drawing I did, but it is so small. I really want to make it at least twice the size, if I can. I think the file for the larger size version of the same drawing was about 47KB, so that might have been the problem. Do I just copy and past the URL out of the Photobucket site and if so which format - the one for forums, right? Now how do I get my photo reduced to under 19.5 KB. I have already reduced the resolution a couple times and it still is not low enough.Quote:

You should try to post a larger photo soon in the postings. Don't be shy. I hardly noticed the uniform. I was looking at your sweet lovely face, nice lips and eyes. Ah to be young again! :DQuote:

I think theres no such thing as beauty on the outside, one is only truly attractive when they are beautiful inside because a smile and eyes reflect one's soul. That type of beauty is timeless, nothing or no one can take away the beauty of someones eyes and smile. So no need to worry Janine, you have a very lovely soul and therefore a timeless beauty:)Quote:

I have always remembered that and I believe in it! Most times when one is friendly to a stranger, they immediately respond, and are friendly back. If only the whole world could think that way. There is too much isolation out there. Lit Net is nice because it brings together people with similiar interests and sensibilities. I love it so far and finding so many new friends like you. You are sweet and beautiful, too. :)Quote:

You know Virg, when I was in college ,we had a genius professor who couldn't have a normal marriage because he was so addict to books and his libraray. He told us that his wife was complaing about this and then she couldn't saty anymore. He did his best to get over this but he couldn't and his wife left him. It's nice when you are addict to things that people around you also addict to them. This way there is no bothering and the vice versa. When I saty with the family and they see me spend most of my time on the Net,it really bothers them,but what can I do:lol: I really enjoy it!
Janine, wow, you look so beautiful. I loke your nose:)
Drame,sweety, you seem like a student who I'd love to teach.

:blush: Aww thank ye toni dear! The compliment was especially wonderful coming from such a lovely alien as yourself :D But your wonderful flattery wont make me forget a certain promise made before i left for putting up your own pic! I have full confidence that youre as gorgeous as your heart is, and give you my full support for putting it up :)
I would love to be taught by you Taleen! It would be a wonderful delight to have such a sweet teacher, i think ive already learned plenty from you just on LitNet even :D
Aww thank you so much Janine! :D I'm also extremely happy to have made a friend like you:) Such great people here on LitNet.Quote:

The version you have now is 70 X 100 pixels, 3.03kbs, so the max height you will get with that image, because, if you notice, the dimensions for sigline images is (width) 500 X (length) 100 pixels. (For example my sigline image is 495 X 39 pixels or something.) The low height but long width dimension is so that signature lines don't get too huge and 'overpower' actual posts and 'clog' threads with too much scrolling due to huge siglines which is usually frowned upon in discussion forums.
Or... what you could do, as I did for my sigline image, 'creatively crop' a long narrow section of it, again to fit the dimensions, working from the original/largest version of your drawing (make sure to save your smaller/cropped version as a diff. file so you don't lose your original though!)
The photobucket link you use for siglines here is the "URL link-Email & IM" one.
Nice photos, dramasnot6, Janine and everyone! All of you are very pretty! :)
Hey dramas,
You look like a very sweet young girl - not more than 14 or 15? And very Indian? Are your forefathers, by any chance, from Asia?
DRAME, you are one gorgeous lady! I love your hair and your sweet/mysterious smile. I wish we wore that uniform too; you know, the little tie and the dark coat. Makes one feel superior. ;)
And Janine's right. SURPRISE anyone with a smile and chances are, you'd get a smile back and made his/her day. :):););):):):):):) It's the only power we've got!
Thank you Pensive! I'm the very old age of 14 :) My father is Indian and my mother is half Spanish and half Russian. What is your heritage?Quote:

The teachers pay no attention to academics and all attention to how much jewelry you have on and whether your shirts tucked in *sigh* :rolleyes:Quote:

Hi Logos, thanks for all your help. The reason I wanted the picture a little bigger (even twice the size would be fine) is that it is a card I designed and did in ink for Christmas a number of years back that I recently scanned, and I wanted to say Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to everyone with it....I would add the greeting to my signature line. This picture of the card is showing up just postage size now (I think even smaller than my avatar) and one can't really make it out too well. It is quite detailed ink work of the Nutcracker Ballet. I will just use it through Christmas, do you think I can get it to be smaller file size if I reduce the resolution? Can it be visually twice the size it is now? I can't elongate it at all. I see what you did with yours, but that won't work in this instance.Quote:

Janine, no, it can't visually be twice the size it is now, the *only* way you can make it bigger is by making it longer, it is already at the max. height size-wise (I measured it in my photo editing software, its 70X100 ) regardless of resolution, the file size is teeny tiny already, 4kbs.
You could post the original size in this same topic and still have the tiny image in your sigline but also have a hotlink to the large version in your sigline.
Lovely shot, Drama! http://www.cosgan.de/images/kao/liebe/g015.gifQuote:

Aww thank you Pen! :D Every syllable of verse that you wrote for me remains deeply in my heart no matter what, just because it was written by such a sweet dragon as yourself :)
Aww, Drame, you look perfectly charming!
Thank ye kindly Robin :D
Drama - what sweet compliments you gave me in the haiku thread. You are a dear one, and a good new friend, too. I love being on here and meeting so many nice people. I like your uniform picture, but you are probably even prettier in person, and I would hate wearing a uniform, too. I imagine your long hair is so thick and lovely. And you have such dark beautiful skin and eyes. I like that little twist to your smile. I could tell it was a point of rebellion.Quote:

I don't of my nose as big now, but still it's far from the perfect nose and I would prefer a different one, but I am stuck with what I have. Best thing, that I said before, to put on one's face is a big smile!:D That is why we have a variety of smilies on this site. We must all like smiling, right. Lit Net must atract smilers....that has got to be it. :lol:
Logos, thanks again for your attention to my problems of posting the sig pic.I see what you mean about height. I guess what I will do is put it into the body of the text from the hosting site in some posts nearer Christmas. I just would do it as we posted our photos in the Photoalbum site. It just needs to be larger for a few days or so to wish Happy Holidays to everyone. I will try it soon and see what happens and then just paste the address in each time...a little more work, but that's ok. I can't crop it to fit a longer format - that would ruin the design altogether. I won't make it too big. Another idea is to put it in my profile picture or to link it to a blog as you suggested. I did not start a blog on Net Lit yet, am going to after the holidays.Quote:

Thanks Kathcf. Did you post your photo yet?
Thanks, Logos, and I hope to make a blog soon with more examples of my art. It should be fun to make it up but need better scans and photos and that will take me a little bit of time. I will tackle that after the holidays.Quote:

Very nice choices and they go well together.
This is just an experiment to see if it will place my photo in the text..... http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p70/sealace/NC4.jpg Wow, it worked. I will have to paste it in each time I post.
Happy Holidays everyone! Love and peace to all of you ~ Janine
Welcome to the fantastic fourteen (hope it will be fantastic) league, man!Quote:

My grandparents from father's side migrated from India in 1940's something, used to live in Lacknow before that. You might have had heard of this city in India. On the other hand, my mother is a Punjabi.
We are waiting to see Janie's pic. Soon?
Don't underestimate the importance of appearence, especially neatness. Kids in their school uniforms always have a special appeal for me. It makes them look more sophisticated. I can't stand the sloppy look that is so popular these days. I think you look quite nice.Quote:

BTW, Drama what type of school do you go to that requires uniforms, a religious school?
No, every single school in Australia requires a uniform. Be it public, private, unisex, monosex, religious, non-religious, etc. There is no school that doesnt require it. Not one. I've even met homeschooled kids who were encouraged to wear their uniform while taught at home! I go to a private school here, but all 12 years of my life were spent in a public one so it is a new experience. The government schools here are rather atrocious though here, i tried one out for a day when coming here and kids were having food fights in the middle of a math class. My private school is the only non-religious AND unisex one in the entire city i think. What type of schooling did you have Virgil?
Hey virgil! look at that, its just us online! :D
I went to public school, Drama. I did not have to wear a uniform. I probably, no definitely, would have rebelled. I was a rebellious teenager. But I think uniforms are good idea. So much of kid's energies go into a "look" that I think it takes away from learning.
Just Us? Don't tell anyone. :D
I can definetly see you as a rebel Virgil! :D I actually think freedom of dress enhances the learning experience, it opens up your mind and lets the teachers fully concentrate on the curriculum and classroom behaviour. I too thought it might be a good idea upon arriving here, but after experiencing both i find i very much miss the freedom. In theory it's good, but in practice the entire school body has to put lots of time and energy, more so then deciding what to wear for the day, in maintaning and enforcing a proper uniform that it really isnt worth it. Takes away from the juicy stuff, the learning :D;) For me no degree of neatness is worth being exposed to less knowledge :)Of course, many of my peers disagree :(
That's what the schools here are like as well....strict and sophisticated uniforms for all.Quote:

Come now, Janine (lovely picture, BTW), if Virgil and I have become the Uncles here, then surely there is a need for a sweet Aunty? Aunty Janine, the tiny poet. Anyone else think that sounds good? http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/liebe/h030.gifQuote:

This is exactly how Indian schools are, not even a single school that doesnt has a uniform.Quote:
