: cedar....failed mission so far. Tell me .... how do you include a picture
: on this site..must one store it on a web page first and then include the

Mark:

I built a box beam. Dimensions of beam 2 1/4" x 4", using guatambu plywood (very strong and hard stuff). Yes, you must store your picture someplace on the internet (I use Mindspring) and put the web address in the Optional Image URL block. I ordered an Olympus D-460 Zoom, from what most people say the are a pretty good camera.

Well, when you get started post some pictures and let me see what you are up to.

Later,

John
