New, Illustrated Blog

This blog is now illustrated! Photos have been added to the Lima and Nazca posts in June and from Cusco´s Southern Valley in July. Unfortunately the snaps of the Nazca designs themselves need careful editing before posting, so even if the Internet cafe has the right software it will be a slow process. I have bunged in a couple to give you a taste. Apologies for the poor quality.

Because I have not yet figured out a way to connect the camera directly to the computer without working USB ports, posts subsequent to Machu Picchu will have to wait until my camera´s memory card is downloaded to CD again before the pictures can be added. Sorry about that.

Special thanks to Richard for the tip about using Paint to reduce the size of the image files and save storage space as well as upload time.

Question, does anyone know how to insert pictures directly into the desired place? At the moment the upload always puts the photo at the beginning of the post and I have to edit the HTML to reposition it. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the tip, Jules. That has speeded things up quite a bit.
