I did the same thing, that is downgraded my membership. I remember the trouble with pictures from the last time around, so I post them on Facebook. Hadn't thought about leaving a link, but that's a good idea. These days I only have pictures of the fog and my cats and dog, so I guess I'm not in a hurry. I'll be glad to see yours though, wherever they are.

I was able to post photos to my portfolio, but just can't insert them into my blog. I might have to do what you do Scarlett and create an off sight album and link to it.

I'm not going anywhere for at least a year. I have a paid 'upgraded' membership that doesn't expire until Jan of 2014. Just have to figure out the best way to do the pictures !!!

I hope you don't go...I five up on the photo thing, but am writing a Haiku a day. The photo thing is so difficult.

As Kay says, there is a way round it, but I agree WDC has the most bizarre and expensive way of handling photos.

Partly why I post mine for FREE on Picasa, then put a link in my blog entry. Not ideal but better than nothing.

I'd be so sorry to see you go again, but do understand the expense of belonging to WDC can barely be justified.

The picture thing is very frustrating. You can't do albums without the premium membership, but you can add pictures. The difficult thing is that you have to make each photo a separate album in your portfolio and then you have to worry about space limits in the portfolio. I tried to keep a garden journal on the site a few years ago and ran into the same troubles.

I'm really disappointed that I can't post pictures any more. I had a whole photo story to go along with my blog. We use to be able to add photos, but now you need a $100 PREMIUM membership to do so.

Special Kay... I always root for Bo when I see him run off with a hen !!

Chanon... Usually when they are a few months old, you can start to tell. The roosters will start growing larger combs.

Scarlett... I love watching our chickens, they are so funny. When I walk out the door every morning, they come running and they look like little dinosaurs the way they run. Also love to lay and listen to the roosters crowing early in the morning.

Oh CC..... It's really neat to hatch these eggs out and watch the chicks pip out of the shells. They are such wet and ugly little things at first. But once they dry off and fluff up, they are so dang cute !!!

How lovely to read an entry from our very own St Francis of Almosta Ranch.

I'm familiar with this as my stepdaughter and her husband keep chickens and do hatch some in incubators. It's fascinating and the eggs they send us for eating are superb.

Glad that Bo and Red have both reached fatherhood status.

That's wonderful. Can you tell at that age if they are boys or girls?
