Edit... help please - have forgotten how to upload to gallery... which is where this should be I guess.

Golden flower...

Sue go to the Gallery - use the link in post number one.
At the upper rt hand edge of the page there is a button that says upload photo......click on this, and it will allow you to browse your files and uplaod...you can add captions, titles, descriptions once the pic is uploaded. I hope this helps

Margaret you are a saint and I am being a pathetic twit today. I went to the gallery and never saw that button. Though I did upload stuff to the gallery just after I joined AW before it stopped functioning.

I can't see anything in post no 1 which tells you to upload to gallery so I wonder if some newbies might have a problem if they've not done it before.

Anyway having spent some time going through my photos here goes...

PS Thank you very much for the help.

Well that makes me feel a tad better Frank. I guess folks who have done these comps before have a better idea.

Anyway, all done now - and I feel like a limp rag!
