Enlarger Than Life

Yesterday I got asked a question by textile artist Papoosue, who has the blog Random Blethers. I didn’t know the answer because I had never used the option myself, but I went to my tech oracle, Terry Fletcher. He’s an ex-RAF bloke who lives in Portugal and runs the Anglo-Indian Portal. I told Papoosue that Terry was nine hours behind me but lightyears ahead in tech applications. This was the question (also see discussion threads at Google Blogger Help ) and Terry’s swift answer.

How do I post a click-and-enlarge picture on my blog?

Terry responded with a typically big-hearted gesture. Not only did he sort out the answer; he even started a blog at Terry’s Sandbox to give Papoosue the answer and create yet another valuable resource for bloggers. I take no credit for this, but I can now point you in the direction of the Sandbox for the answer to Papoosue’s question. In a nutshell, here’s Terry’s philosophy. He wrote: ``This blog has been constructed as an aide-mémoire for anybody that is interested in the many variations that can be achieved in the presentation of a personal blog. It is by no means an authoratative document on any particular aspect, more a 'hand-holding' exercise to allow people to experiment and discover things for themselves. Where a particular 'display' or a 'feature' is not obvious, a comment requesting further explanation will always be met with as much information as is necessary to achieve the objective. You just have to ask!''
