I sympathise, Rob. I've been messing round with this for over 2 years and still haven't perfected it.
Patience is key.

Would it be possible to have a "posting for dummies" article on the site as I struggle with the IT know how sometimes (okay a lot of times) too and would like to post larger images as well?

apologies if I'm teaching egg-sucking but your photos, in the above tests, enlarge if you click on them.
