One More time as a reminder
Blurry Image Problem on enlarged pictures?
To improve the pictures
Click on the picture and you will get the new enlargement with the black background. Click on the link that starts with "Image from http://", at the bottom left hand corner, and it will enlarge and be much clearer. If there is only a square with a red X, instead of a picture, then clicking on the link will be the only way to get a enlarged picture. After you get the enlarged picture, sometimes you may click on it again to further enlarge it.

Blurry Image Problem on enlarged pictures?
The pictures are going on my blog are starting outnice and clear, but the new process that blogger has given us makes full page pictures with printing hard to read/blurry.  A lot of the older pictures from the last few weeks/months are having the same problem.  But you can get around it!  It takes a couple extra steps

Click on the picture and you will get the new enlargement with the black background.  Click on the link that starts with "Image from http://", at the bottom left hand corner, and it will enlarge and be much clearer.  If there is only a square with a red X, instead of a picture, then clicking on the link will be the only way to get a enlarged picture.  After you get the enlarged picture, sometimes you may click on it again to further enlarge it. I can't find a way to clear up the first picture, if someone else knows a better way, please let me know.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program.
Good luck!

KFXM September 16, 1966


Notice
There has been a change in the method of enlarging pictures. If you click on the picture, you will either get a slightly enlarged picture or a box with a red X in it on a black background. Either way, to get a larger picture click on link on bottom left hand corner that follows "Image from" This will give you another larger picture. If there is a magnifying plus on the cursor, left click and it should enlarge again.
