Hi Shabetei, There are groups that allow how you want post in html format photo-stories with as much or as little text as you like. EZboard has many such communities. Since most of my photo-stories depend on 1/6th scale actors, I post at Fantasy Net and One Sixth Action Figures, both EZboard communities. However most of those members are more interested in making and modifying their figures than in what mischief the figures can create. Constructive critique of writing never happens. The images embedded within such a story are not stored at any EZboard site, but linked to a photohost, such as www dot photobucket dot com. You upload your images to the photohost (up to 1MB per pic for photobucket free to a limit, or unlimited for a modest fee) and link-in each pic's url at the appropriate place in your text the linking url is not seen by the viewer. Here is a pic-heavy, yet simple example of what can be done (note that I usually post at 800x600 pxls, but those boards will go m-u-c-h larger): http://p087.ezboard.com/ffantasynetfrm2.showMessage?topicID=1362.topic This beats forcing hundreds of words into the bottom of your image. Well, it's an idea -- Dick
