Indeed. Thanks for the heads up; I fixed it. My keyboard only has blank keys for e,r,t,a,s, and n. Since I never learned to touch type, it's a recipe for disaster. I draw the letters on occasionally, but they don't last long.
Hi, for the Christmas tree fad link the images do not show on my computer. I just see :

440feathertree.jpg
ect.
I have tried a both Firefox and Chrome browsers.
Anyone have a suggestion on making the images display ?
