the wait

I'm still having trouble uploading pics to my blog - they look fine on the computer & upload to facebook with no probs....but upload to blogger & they look terrible.  Any suggestions?

adoption update - we are STILL waiting for our FBI clearances.  Based on the reported averages (from my fav adoption board), this is what we are looking at timeline wise - give or take several weeks depending on how fast the US & China decide to process our paperwork.
  • currently waiting on clearances & then 1-2 week wait for state approval of our home study
  • apply for I-800A (US immigration approval to adopt from China) - approvals taking approx 75 days
  • send all notarized/certified/authenticated docs to agency so they can send to China
  • wait for LOA (super imprtant paper from China saying we can adopt Presley) - taking approx 68 days
  • apply for I-800 (US immigration approval to adopt Presley from China) - approval taking approx 19 days
  • wait cable/art 5 - taking approx 29 days
  • wait for TA (travel approval) - taking approx 18 days
so what does this mean - really nothing...it's all a guesstimate...we could luck out & get super fast approvals or we could be a rider on the slow boat & wait well past all current averages....but it's all I've got right now.

Have you tried uploading to Picasa? That's how I usually do pics for my blogger blog. Good luck!

Have you tried using Picasa for uploads? I've had no problems using that for my blog here on Blogger. Good Luck!
