Awsome pic!!
Ok, I give up. I've got two other computers, both laptops, I was updating them and I could not access The Blog for comment, probably because Newsvine didn't recognize my other confusers. That's why I haven't been posting.
So, how do I access The Blog for comment on another machine and still use SBPhrog?
Ansel rocks, I recommend reading his autobiogaphy, it is very revealing. Ribbit.
I was wondering where you went.
Lola, any idea of how to go about logging on with another computer?
Not really. I only log in with two computers. Work and home (laptop), but if I go to photoblog, I'm already logged in.
In the past, I have commented on random articles from both home and work (shhhhhhhh, don't tattle) so now I'm recognized from both computers. *shrug
I should add that those articles linked to Newsvine from MSNBC.
SBPhrog - you may just need to go to the newsvine.com homepage and log in from there. I've done this on Mac & PC in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari with good success.
Thanks, JW, I did a little searching and I think I found my password and email account I use for this. I'll try later this evening and give it a go. I hate the darn fan I have in my tower, so it is much more pleasant to use one of my laptops for internet use.
BTW, this photo makes me wonder how Annie Leibovitz is doing? Did she recover from her financial troubles?
A friend of mine used to work for her, but that was a while ago, before her troubles. This was the most recent news i could find on her.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/18/annie-leibovitz-not-buyin_n_617033.html
I remember the first b&w photo that hit me in the solar plexis was an Ansel Adams. His work is profound and the reason I prefer b&w to color in many photos.
