Learning Picasa: attempt ONE

I am trying to learn a new way to post on my blog. Things don't seem to be working correctly as I am relying on the program to do what I want it to do. This is much different than manually placing all the text and words exactly where you want them positioned.  The photos are in no particular order as I tried to upload multiple images and post directly to Blogger, but it Published instead of being a Draft

When ever you work on a photo it changes position without warning.  You cannot be sure where it finally ends up

When we visited friends a couple of weeks ago during our Canadian Thanksgiving, the children were playing outside drawing their shapes onto the patio






Here was another friend for the day.  He lost his front leg a few years ago due to an accident and he is very friendly

I kind of like the way I can resize the photos and move them around and have text on either side.


 I finally found someone who dislikes shoes as much as myself, she was shoeless most of the afternoon, and remember that we are on a farm









Even the dog got his outline traced out on the ground








and then it eventually became a family affair with everyone chipping in
         

Of course all of the smaller images above can be clicked for a larger version.   Publishing the Starred items directly to Blogger doesn't seem to work very well, you have to fiddle a lot with placement and image sizes.  I thought this way would be faster but now I am going to try Karen's method
