DISCOVERIES
~ Only put 2 pictures per line can be added/ inserted here, but only if one is on the Left, and the other is in the center.  I made splash pages to try to resolve this, but it still only fits 2 pictures per line.
~ You can not get 2 pictures beside each other, even if both are size small and one is one either side of the page.
~ Compared to an open office document where you can size and arrange them however you wish, this one is a very limited option. I am surprised, seeing how Google owns Blogger.
Test Outcome: Not great! 
+

NOTES

~ That is all for this cemetery.

~ Catch the next one here (link pending)!

Until next time...

Take care & Safe travels!

My Online Storage (MOS) - Introduction

(~*~)
Hello, 
I have been thinking to myself how much of a "shutterbug" I have become since the age of digital cameras we can all buy. The more I/ my family experiences, the more pictures I need to store. And let's face it, some adventures in Life need lots of room for pictures!
    It's just this, that  has caused some online storage troubles for me when trying to share with others.
Some it has been due to not having enough space allowed, or getting mixed up what photo albums are where, if I have accidental duplicates floating around, loosing access to an account, and other possibles issues.
So I have been thinking it over, and was asking myself...
How does one find the online space to store pictures, without having to use an online photo storage option?
This is my first test to resolve it, here as a blog!
WELCOME to...

 My Online Storage (MOS)!

(0922141201AMishC.E.S.)

Includes pictures for:
~ Adventures throughout Life.
~ Events attended/ hosted - includes all my odd celebrations/ mini-activities.
~ The Game - both versions!
~ Past adventures, events, and otherwise.
~ Requests (may be subject to relevance).

Until next time...
Take care & Safe travels!
