Trying to post a pic...

I hope this works. On my little screen I can't see the pic, but the preview shows it, so I hope you guys can see it, too! It's not the big pics but better than nothing!

I see him!

I could too once the post was up. It's just very strange, how mobile phones are so spastic. I can't get to my photobucket acct at all, so I'm glad lj's scrapbook is working again.

That's like FB then. I never think that's going to work, but this did, Aragorn is here. All is well!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

All is well might be a bit premature, seeing as an entire sunny day sans thunderstorms has gone by and the internet isn't fixed, and now there are storms coming again, so no chance at the guy climbing the tower now. *grumbles*

But it does at least seem I can get a pic posted; I was really afraid I wouldn't be able, and with storms lined up from here to next Thursday, that'd be a long time without Aragorn!

Making things work with those Smartphones still baffles me, so I'm very impressed you got this up at all!! :D

Once I figured out how to "get there from here", it's not so bad. But I have to go into the scrapbook and post from the picture itself, which takes about four more steps than doing it normally.

The biggest problem I'm running into with having to work off the smart phone is that my eyes get very tired very quickly, because of the small screen and because when I'm typing, there's no actual keys to rest my fingers on with it being a touchscreen, so I find myself not blinking enough. :P It's amazing how much I blink when I'm typing on a regular keyboard, because I don't have to watch my fingers and make sure they're staying in the right place. No typing with your eyes closed on a smart phone! LJ comments aren't too bad, because I can keep them short (obviously, I'm typing on my regular keyboard with this comment! LOL) but emails are very tiring, I've discovered.

But the Internet's back up at the moment so I can type happily away on my real, full-size keyboard. With my eyes closed. Ahhh. *g*

Uhm, you've changed the background, or something is wrong with your/my LJ/LJ in general? *unsure*

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Um, not sure what you mean. Yesterday I did change my journal layout a bit so the colors are different. Is that what you're talking about? I still plan on working on it but I can't until I have internet again. But it will stay mostly the same, I'm afraid; I'm sorry you don't like it. :( I guess you can just read my posts in your own layout.

[ellynn-ithilwen.livejournal.com]

You silly girl! *lol* I didn't say I didn't like it. :p I only asked if you had made it new, or if I was seeing it wrong. Remember that a few days ago Dreamflower had said her layout had simply changed, all by itself (she didn't touch anything)? So I wasn't sure if your change was on purpose or LJ messed it up. ;)

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay... I just couldn't tell by the way your worded it!

Yes, I have been reading of Dreamflower's issues with layouts--how frustrating for her, and I really hope LJ doesn't mess up mine now that I finally got mine close to what I want!

[estelcontar1.livejournal.com]

Yay, it worked! I see Aragorn is also disgruntled about your internet situation. *g*

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

He's none too pleased, no.

[mrowe.livejournal.com]

Yay, pic!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Yep, I can post from my scrapbook for now. So no big pics but smaller is better than none. :)
