Boasting alert!

You can do it, soop Here's how.

If you send me your home email address, I will send you (through Google Documents) an email saying that I have shared the file "Hat showcase" with you. In that email will be instructions how to go about it. Following these should be clear. I say should be because sometimes these automatic emails assume that you know what they are talking about before you start. I can't tell you exactly what it will say because I don't know - it wisnae me that wrote it.

When you try to look at it, it may say that you have to invent a username and password for yourself for that file, and then it may even say you need a Google username as well - to use Google Docs at all!. Both of them are easy enough. As usual there are forms to fill in.

If you get stuck, email me. I will try to phone you to help!

soop I think you need to PM Elegran (see her post at 14.30).

Congratulations glamma what happy news for you! How exciting thinking about a new outfit, a new hat is a "must" after all! The last "proper" hat I wore to a wedding was to that of my DD 10 years ago . I only ever get to wear a woolly hat for walking in the winter or a summery hat in case the sun comes out in the summer!

[umm] I fear that I'm far too dim to get my head around this!

Elegran Where do I find "Hat showcase"...please.

lovely news, glamma. And congratulations to the happy couple. That's something to look forward to even if it's not imminent. And you do have plenty of time to search for that perfect hat.

Well, I have successfully uploaded a photo to "Hat showcase". It was pretty easy (easier than the map challenge) but the photo ended up too big for the page. Then I discovered that at the bottom right-hand corner you can click on the picture and move that corner in to shrink it to the size you want.

OK, would someone please send me a private email with their home email address on, and I will then share a file called "Hat showcase" with them from Google. I think that the email from Google will tell you how to access the file and insert photographs into it.

I shall try inserting one of mine first. No hat, I am afraid.

glamma Big congratulations! It's wonderful when you know that the partner is the right one So happy for you and your 'at!

you are right, Elegran It's all rather complicated. Thanks for your advice. The answer to your question: because you are clever.

You can set up a Google file which can be shared by other named people. Will have a look and see how that is done. Could be more complicated than the map.

Why do I get into these things?

Need to think about this. I don't think you can have a profile that is not attached to a Gran/Grandad so that would not work. I suppose we could invent a gran who is called Hattie or similar, but she would still have to join. I can't see GNHQ accepting an application from a Hattie Milliners-Box, address Top of the Wardrobe, email [email protected]. And we'd still have the problem of lots of different people trying to upload photographs.

You're not at all boring, Glamma...adoring our grandchildren is what we do...thank you for your kind comments.

soop I have just spent 5 mins looking at all your photo's your DGCs are such a lovely credit to you and the little man is just delish !! how how has come on and grown since those first pic's of him over 18mths ago now and repeating myself again and sounding boring I do adore little boys.

Ha ha! Hello there. As you are worldly wise - and Grannylin and I are not, please can you assist us with starting up a granshatthread?

Did you call?

Where's that Elegran when we need her?

No idea, I 'm technically challenged.Elegran would know.We need to be able to click on a name in blue to get access to the pics.The only way I can think of doing it, is to invent a Gransnet profile for a hat

Grannylin How do we go about it?

Congratulations glamma - am sure you are going to live up to your name!
soopI think a thread for hat pics is a brilliant idea

Great news glamma a wedding is always filled with love.

Oh! glamma That sounds so exciting. Do you have any particular era in mind? You've got me all of a thrill.

soop I do love your hat in fact I love the whole outfit it is spectacular and you look stunning in it,I know that I will be looking far and wide for the outfit and will enjoy every minute of it.At the moment I am thinking down the vintage theme any excuse to start looking says I.

glamma managed to get pics of hat to move up the page. Let's start a granniehatthread. Nice to have some fun when there's so much gloom and doom around.

Great news glamma
