Hey Nic! Excited to follow the blog! Looks like you made good time! Question - the photos are very small and I can't seem to make them bigger to get a good look. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteForget the above! Once I signed in to google properly I could change the size of the photos!
ReplyDeleteGlad you worked it out yourself. I've been blogging via a new app which talk to Blogger, which is what I use.
DeleteIts always good to read all the comments, saves asking the same questions :) I thought it might be because you did it on your phone. Great photos, love the explainations :)
ReplyDeleteYOu are spot on Barb, I am using my phone..
DeleteKeep it up Nicola. Will check in every few days just to make sure you are still alive. xxx
ReplyDeleteGee thanks, I still have a few days to get posted, which will now take a little while, as back to work tomorrow...
