You 'spose to try and try again if you don't succeed, but I don't know how many tries is enough. I guess I am not smart enough to give up, but I certainly feel the backlash of not having doing just that today. It is also late in the day and my engine is sputtering as it does most days 'round this time of day. This morning my new friend and fellow blogger told me how to make my ball go round and round. Marge is ~~ mama mouse~~ and for some reason I wanna call her~~ mighty mouse~~ and that she was today. I opened my email this morning and there was an email from Marge. She had found the solution of the revolving ball. She was kind enough to show me the code. I had to alter it a bit to fit my way of using pictures. I do not use URL's for my pictures that I use in my post. After entering the code she provided and not using any URL, but the code for where the picture was located, I proceeded to follow her detailed and easy to follow instructions and low and behold when I clicked preview that little blue ball was going round and round. I was thrilled that she took the time to research it enough to find a way to help me. Thank you my friend! That is the kind of folks I have met on my short time blogging. She and I are close in age, but as Clara says, she has got us beat by a few years. If I am not mistaken, Marge along with Rat, are helpers at the blog help site. I have found the site to be helpful. Rat has a site he just started to help bloggers with questions. He is quite versed in blogging. Stop in at Most Frequent Blogger Questions and Rat just might have the answer already there for your question. He is a busy man, but still takes the time to email and shoot the bull with me.
Tomorrow will be back to work day for many; at least in my area. Jerrell has been off for ten days but will return to work tomorrow. I have enjoyed our vacation time together and looking forward to the next holiday which I think will be Labor Day.
Kevin will be calling soon and I need to grab me some Bryers and kick back in my cliner and consider myself done for the day. Well done at that. Until tomorrow. God Bless!

Whoo! I feel like a cat that's just been stroked. Nuzzle, nuzzle!
Okay, but where's the ball? Is it supposed to be up top? I don't see it!
Claudia .. I sent you an email. The way you posted the graphic shows the spinning ball to YOU ... but not to anyone else. In order for anyone but you to see it, it HAS to be uploaded to a site somewhere on the web. THAT is why a URL is needed. Whether it is Blogger's upload tool or one of the other many off-site graphic hosting sites. I use Image Shack ... and in order for anyone to see your pretty blue orb spinning in all its glory you WILL need to upload the graphic to one of those hosting sites. I don't think Blogger will do it for you for animations. Use the code just as I showed you in that email ... but get the code from your offsite host. The people can't see into your computer to get the graphic ... only you can do that. THAT is why it will only work the way you did it for YOU.
Claudia, I may be older but you are smarter...LOL I have yet to figure out how to put a picture into my profile. Maybe I just haven't taken enough time to really understand it. The thing I don't understand is....my picture doesn't have a URL. and it won't let me copy and paste. maybe I will figure it out someday. OH, where is Albermarle?
Hi Clara,
Nice of you to drop in and comment.
I am located 45 miles east of Charlotte, NC. My oldest son lived in Memphis for 4 years while working on his post doc at St. Jude Children's Hospital. Are you near there? I love TN. We are hoping to go back when husband retires. Blogging is a continual learning process and with some things I think I am barking up the wrong tree. Hang in there Clara and I so much enjoy your site.
God Bless!
Thanks mama mouse for your email. I will work on it as I have it posted now at Image Shack as you suggested. I had no idea it was just me seeing the movement. I learn something new in blogville everyday! Thanks much for your help Marge. God Bless!
I live just outside Bristol, TN...The biggest thing around Bristol is the NASCR Motor Speedway. If not for that...Bristol would be DEAD!!! We are not very far apart! Nice meeting you.
clara....in tn, you are right, we are not far apart at all. Maybe one day we can meet and you can make me one of your pies. I love your site. Hope it was ok that I added you to my list of daily readings. Have a good day Clara.
God Bless!
