I would like to run a picture and a little story on the Spring's main page
about the Bronte conference if this is ok with everyone. Amy, what say? Can you write up a little text piece for me.
What a nice picture (above).

Terry, I just sent you the blurb via e-mail.
Cecily -- I have a ton o' Bronte pictures I'd love to post to this board. But I'm HTML-challenged, and don't know how. Would you step me through the process?
Thanks, amy

Got the blurb and posted it on http://wwww.spring.com
Now, can someone come up with a cool picture to go with it?

I can! I've got the famous portrait of Charlotte, Emily, & Anne which Branwell painted. Terry -- what's the best way to get this to you? As an e-mail enclosure? (it's a PICT). Thanks!

Dear Amy2-
Asking me for help is like asking a toddler to cook dinner! :) Here's the best I can do: 1) direct scanning is beyond me at this time, but if you have photos at home you want to get on the web, I assume a college library or campus lab that has both a scanner and internet access (or an individual with more moxie and equipment than I) can get them online for you; 2) if they're already on the web, (as above and the next one below), all I do when at their site is right-click on the desired photo, which br
ngs up a small window w/commands from which I select & click on Save Location (at least, my Windows95 plus Netscape does this), the window disappears, and then I go Back to your Bronte board at Spring, get to the next empty posting box like this one here, and under Edit click on Paste. Then I put 
around the http address my Paste job put in this box (meaning, put the address between the quotation marks where I left the empty space). That should do it; the only reason I also put the
ttp address (w/out the carats, etc., surrounding) again is that I like to show the source of my photo link, too.
Clear as mud, right? Sorry...
Ok, here's another page link to admire-

hmmm, no admiration for that memo example failure. Evidently I can't write the code here or it displays a broken graphic symbol instead. I'll say it the long way instead: Type the left-pointing carat key first,then the abbreviation for image source (which is IMG SRC,(no commas anywhere, OK?), then opening quotation marks, then the complete http address you copied/pasted, then closing quot. marks, then the carat symbol that faces the other way. (Golly, I hope that does it) P.S. some places have pix t
at just don't seem to be paste-able, tho, as the one above, so even more reason to give the http address twice so viewer can head there herself.
[that was horribly longwinded; just ask Terry next time!)

Arrghhhh! You lost me. Do you know how to post pictures that aren't on the Web? I've got quite a few PICTS I've collected from here & there. Terry, can you help us cyberkids? Thanks!

You can convert it to a gif or jpeg with Lview Pro which you can get off
of Forrest's site, http://www.stroud.com or in our apps conference. Or
just put it in your directory on the Spring and let me know where it is.
Or attach it to an email. Or send it by carrier pigeon. However, you
want to zap it to me.

Sure, we'll run it there for a bit. And post any new news if it comes up,
we porbably should put something up for 'medieval' after a while.

I shall certainly do my utmost, though Foxy-faced TD is soooooo compelling, is he not?
BTW, he was a terrific Heathcliff in his youth on film, too. Have you seen it? Very "wild" looking (and much less vicious than RF's rendering). Pardon me while I go back into a reverie on the above photos ;-)

Lola, if you come back to us from the ether, I -did- see WH with Dalton -- liked him very much, but still have to confess that the young Olivier is my fave in this role. Even though the classic '39 Goldwyn film concentrated solely on the Heathcliff/Cathy romance, and forgot about the rest of the book. Odd to think that Olivier & Merle Oberon HATED each other during the making of this film. They certainly faked it effectively on-camera!

HA!!! I don't think I deserve to be in such hallowed company. Actually, Branwell, who painted the picture, put HIMSELF in the middle , then painted himself out & replaced it with a pillar. Terry, would a Polaroid do, or do you need some kind of digital picture?
Topic 11 of 84 [bronte]: Pictures, anyone?
Response 25 of 43: Paul Terry Walhus (terry) * Fri, Aug 1, 1997 (10:50) * 3 lines
A digital picture would be the best, but you could mail me a polaroid and I could
scan it if you don't have these facilities (Spring, Rt 2 Box 56R, Cedar Creek TX 78612).
Thanks Amy. This will be fun!

Amy2: 1985 - "Florence Nightingale" - TV movie - [Dalton played] Richard Milnes - Supporting role -not avaiable on video
On another point: I teach sophomore girls who will be discussing their summer novels, 1984 and Wuthering Heights, in September with me. I am directing them to some online links on Bronte (and later, Austen)for research, but I am also wondering if you would permit them to sign up at Spring and join this conference (temporarily, anyway) if I started a topic thread (or 2) on WH for them and others wishing to join in. As a rule my classes are well-behaved, but I would not tell them about this site i
the idea worries you at all, Amy. We're talking maybe 40-50 girls in all, assuming I can get them all e-mail addresses at hotmail.com and over their fear of posting. :) P.S. Don't be afraid to say no to me on this!

That's more what I had in mind! I know a lot of us were disappointed in the A&E Jane, but this is still a nic picture, I think.
Amy2, did you get the graphic I emailed you on Friday? Maybe I'll post it here, now that I know how. I did this in Photoshop the other day (I'm a graphic artist, by the way.)
