Nice step by step, Marion!

Nice and straight forward,even I can do this and that,s saying something.

You can do it, Mark. ~Marion

Neat and simple, thanks Marion.

Thanks Marion. Just a comment regarding alignment. I have seen on two different training videos that it's usually preferential to place image on the right of the page.
Reasons by Kyle & Jay.
1. If the SEO search bot comes across image on the left and your keywords are on the right it will get confused. (one way around it I think was by adding your keyword into the image's alt-text and caption)
2. In the West at least, we read left to right. Apparently a picture on the left is 'in the way,' slows our reading, makes us tired, and we leave site too early.

I for one don't want to get too rigid on this but it is worth keeping in mind.

Thanks for your advice. I have also read that all pictures should be aligned to the left, so I guess it's a matter of personal choice. ~Marion

Idiot proof... We like that Marion! Thank you :)

It has to be idiot proof for me to do it. LOL. ~Marion
