Illustration Friday | Hoard


"Lucille! Stop hoarding all the carrots!"
I can certainly relate to Lucille -- I'm the same way with dark chocolate!

Welcome to my new blog! I've decided to change the blog from iWeb to Blogger. I'll keep my website on iWeb, but I felt I needed a different format for the blog. Now I'll be able to add labels and more images to the whole blog and to my postings. I'll also be adding more than just illustrations to this blog, and use it to talk about picture books I enjoy and other fun stuff.

So welcome again, and feel free to leave a comment if you like. They are always very much appreciated!


Lucille! Para de pegar todas as cenouras para você!"
Eu entendo a Lucille -- sou do mesmo modo com chocolate amargo!

Bem-vindos ao meu novo blogue! Decidi mudar o blogue de iWeb para Blogger. Vou manter minha website no iWeb, mas eu senti que precisava de um formato diferente para o blogue. Agora poderei colocar categorias e incluir mais imagens no blogue. Também vou acrescentar mais do que minhas ilustrações, e comentar sobre livros para crianças e outras coisas divertidas.

Então sejam bem-vindos, e se quiserem, deixem um comentário. São sempre bastante apreciados!

  7. Hi Mon!

    Well, what I usually do is make sure the images I'm going to post are 700 px wide, that way they don't get that huge when people click on them. Yu could even go lower than that if you wish.

    Then when you have the file that size, you choose it with the feature add a picture from blogger and on that same pop up window there is a choose menu with three options for sizes, small, medium or large. If you want them to cover almost al the with of your blog size then choose big. And that's it.

    Let me know if you need any more help, I'll be glad to help you out :o)

    Love those bunnies.. and adore the little noses!!
