Gotta Love Your Peeps At Active Rain

Today has been a very bad day. I wrote a blog post about it here is the link to that post:

Then Heather Chavez wrote a comment on that post and told me to hop over and check out her blog post on the Walmart pictures. I laughed until I cried. That is one funny sight! Here is the link:

Then I wrote a blog post about the bmp picture format not being acceptable for uploading pictures on Active Rain. Here is the link to that post:

Immediately, the comments started coming in. Then Brian Brumpton wrote a comment with the answer. Not only did he give an answer, he wrote a blog post explaining why the bmp format is not used on AR and why. Here is the link to Brian's blog post:

John Mulkey also wrote me a comment on how to quickly change the format of my clip art pictures.

Thanks to my AR buddies, all of my pictures are in the correct format and this day is going to have a peaceful ending. This is one powerful sight! If you have a question, just ask and your peeps will come running with the answers. If you have had a really bad day, you can count on comments full of encouragement.

I just wanted to say Thanks for this site, because it holds the keys to the answers that we are searching for and I love this site.

I'm glad I could help out in my own little way, Sandy.  I usually save images in whatever format they are in and then open in Paint and save as the format I want (typically JPEG) under a new name, which sounds like what you do.  I wasn't aware of why you would save something in GIF instead of JPEG or PNG instead of GIF, etc., until Brian wrote his own blog.  So, thank you for inspiring Brian to write this post and posting his post on your blog so I would find it.  Isn't AR grand?

Heather: In my 15 years in this crazy business, I have never found such a powerful tool that also has the input of the experiences of countless agent with tons of experience. AR ROCKS!

Sandy,

This is the real beauty of AR, not the business, that many claim is great off AR, but the opportunity to get a terrific advice and answer to practically all our questions
