(scroll down) put your URL to your image there (in the textbox beside it) ----------------------------------- josh Fri Feb 13, 2004 9:46 pm ----------------------------------- I did that but it didn't show up. What if there is more then one pic on the page of the URL I want the pic to come from. Does it need to be a page with jsut a pick???
