RR could you email me some Lebanese recipes when you have time please ?

Mrs C especially likes the vegetarian options (buggered if I know why) but anything would be good, family recipes are always so much better.

Hi guys,

In the past you made this background for me, but I really would like something new.

My absolute favourite poem is The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe, do you think any of you can work with that?

I'm not very creative myself, but I imagine a darkish theme featuring a raven, maybe the word "Nevermore" or something like that, but I'll leave it up to you if you have any other idea about it!

Thanks for taking this into consideration

I usually go with 200X455.

Marty recommended 200X500 on his program.

MirthfulMe has his almost 1000 px long.

200 X 445 caused some clipping for me ( refreshing page and it went away.. )
200 X 446 has caused no troubles here

Hello dear Cody,
Sure thing, as soon as the book is done this summer, I'll email the link to you, and send you a free .pdf copy.
I'll have to ask my mother-in-law for Lebanese recipes, because I don't know that many, my husband prefers my western food,and when he feels like Lebanese food,he usually goes to his mom, but I do have some recipes, I will email them to you this weekend.

To: BFFT
Dear BFFT,
I'll send a free copy to Cody, so he can send it to you. I'll probably be ready with the book end of June.
It has Italian, Hungarian,German, French, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Mexican recipes mostly.

Anyone who wants a free copy when I'm done, just let me know.

Here is my take on this

a reply to: Rainbowresidue

I adore all people who are good at kitchen, im so clumsy at cooking so i am "allowed" only to bake. Its kinda funny but kitchen seems to be the most hazardous place for me to be.. i am allowed to help tho

Hubby loves spicy food are your recipes spicy ? If they are i am sure hubby would drool over them only by reading them.
If you are willing to share.. im willing to taste

Love you in advance ( am i allowed to say this ? ) !

Is there a simple way to just make an image smaller without it looking all squished? I used to know how to do some of this stuff but haven't done it in about 3-4 years..

a reply to: Havox

You need an image manipulation program so you can adjust the image size/ratios within the layer.

For free, you can use GIMP.

Or, look at Imamarty's post above and see if his new tool works for you.

I have PS CS4 on this laptop, just not really sure how to do it.

In photoshop create new document with the right size of avatar, have another picture ( picture you want as avatar) open next to it. Drag and drop picture as a layer to that new document ( pressing shift key when dragging it ends in the center of the document ) if the picture you dragged as a new layer is too big, use edit -> free transform-> above the working space you can adjust it size to your liking .
