I have placed my photo in Yahoo like wasasister tole me to do; and placed the url in the profile. But it doesn't show up as you can plainly see. Does anyone have a clue why I can't get a clue on how to do this right?
My pix is at:
http://photos.yahoo.com/bertie31419
I suspect the problem is operator head space, but can't quite pin it down.
Hep!

Excuse me whilst I catch my breath! What a hottie!
Sorry I was less than detailed in my instructions. I'm not anywhere near the expert in such areas as others. However, I think you need more detail in your URL. When you have your picture up, point the cursor at it and right mouse-click. Under "properties" you should see the complete URL. Copy ALL of that into your profile. That should work.
Anyone else want to weigh in here?
Use this link:
us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/6df6319/bc/My+Photos/Frank.jpg?bcuJqB7AHmjkHnYd
Make sure it starts with: http://
The URL is to your yahoo area, not to your photo. An url to a photo generally ends in ".jpg" (sans quotes).

Thanks Jan, wasasister, 'n' apostate. Finally it worked. What a larnin' experience that was. And I learned something else, too; about yahoo. I'd never been there much and didn't know what the deal was. That's a pretty nice site.
Now I'm off to discover what IOQ or ICQ or IQC, or whatever that thing is, is.

P.S. My dear, perceptive, observant friend wasasister - thank you for your comments upon my humble countenance . You have made my entire week already.
Why on earth are you using the name "Francoise" ?
It's a girl's name, and you are obviously not a girl !
Au contraire. Francoise is the Frenchification of Francis, a male's name; unlike Frances, a female's name.
Many of my French and French-Canadian friends call me Francoise, pronounced Franz'-swa.
I suppose you're going to be surprised to know that Maria is a common name for men in Germany? Like Rainer Maria Rilke, for instance.
And that is why on earth I use the name Francoise.
Francoise
Um, I hesitate to comment on a matter so personal--but Francoise (pron. Fran-swahz) is in fact the feminine form of
Francois (pron. as you said).
But having left the lockstep of the WTBTS, I hasten to add that you are free to use whatever spelling makes you happiest, or heureux, mon ami! Vive la liberte'!

Hey Francoice my old cobber - good to see you .. I still gotta get my photo to a site for down loading.
You look like a no bullshit kinda guy - just what I expected.
I'm enjoying your articles etc...
cheers unc
Someone has already answered... Yes I know Marie or Maria is a common middle name for boys in France, Italy, Germany...
Do you know Jean-Marie-Baptiste Vianney ?
But Francois is the "masculine" name and Francoise is the "feminine" name. I am from France by the way, and my sister's name is Francoise, and I have at least two friends (girls) who are named Francoise. But whatever. At least now I know that I can't put a sweet lady's face on your posts, posts that I enjoy very much by the way.
