I made a "cut & paste" collage just for WP with the intent of scanning and posting for Autism Awareness Day, 6.18. I meant for my collage to be 8.2 x 11" so I could scan it.....then, it evolved into an art project, which is complete and framed, that is 16 x 20." Oh no.....technically, how can I share this collage with all of you now? I took a photo, but I cannot know how the details will translate. Advice?

For those of you who know me, I am the queen of "cutting & pasting" (cutting images from magazines, my drawings, etc. and pasting). When I was really little, and diagnosed with autism, I had been treated 5 times for blood poisoning. I was cutting & pasting for innumberable hours without stopping until the scissors abraded my hand and there was a red streak up to almost my elbow (this was the worst blood poisoning incident and I could have lost my right hand). My scissors were taken away by the medical doctor.

Anyway, what about my collage? I wanted to do "show & tell," all the images are related to autism and some of the pieces are of my own writing, drawing. Ideas? Actually, tech support? I am fairly computer savy, but I have problems with posting photos on WP! When I posted my photo, I pasted the URL from SmugMug into the field since my photo would not copy into this field. Does anyone know how (I am kind of embarrassed to ask such a stupid question). I need tech support......or, maybe WP crisis tech line. Sigh.....help me.

WOW, I thought you were younger! They have computers now, and cut/paste is a term left over from a bygone era! :D I'm sorry to hear about your being denied your past time for a time, and the worry for your hand. I hope you don't even have a scar, or remember any pain or infirmity.

Can't you click the insert URL icon to insert that url?
