To increase the size of type, there is a little trick, important for us old eyes…. Control Shift ++ increases the type size, and Control - decreases it.
OR
For those who are “mouse” oriented, go to the top of your browser page,
click on, ‘View’
click on ‘Text’,
select a ‘Larger Font Size’.
Hey everybody Mugsie’s works, Lily your solution is a little much for those of us who are computer challenged. I don’t know where my view button is. Thanks Bev.
Mugsy,
I must be doing it wrong because when I tried it, it went to “Favorites” and automatically added this site a million times.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi, beverly. The ‘view’ is not a button, it is an item on the menu bar - just under the top border of the browser. If you prefer the keyboard, you can open it with alt-v
ctrl-shift-+ works with the ‘+’ key next to the backspace. I usually skip the shift and use the ‘+’ key on the numeric keypad.
ctrl— will reduce the text size. That is, hold the control key and press the minus key. The first - is for notation.
My question: What kind of file will the site recognize as an image? I’ve tried to upload a TIFF file on the Update Profile page, but a bar near the top of the screen says it is “not an image.” (I made the TIFF file from a PDF I created from some original art.) The TIFF file is smaller than the maximum height and width and fewer than maximum kb. ???
Never mind. I saved the file as a JPEG file and it worked perfectly.
I’m new to the site and just contributed my first post/comment yesterday! Now, do we just have the ability to reply to posts already written, or do we have the ability to write a brand new post on a new topic? Are the post topics controlled by the founders and then just commented on by us? Or, do we have the opportunity to start new discussion threads? Just wondering! BTW - thanks for creating this site, wonderful women! I first heard about it in an interview with Lesley Stahl!
Check out Comfort Zone, Feeling Younger Workout dvds. They’re great! (I should know, I produced them)
I’m having trouble uploading a picture, I’ve done it before with no mistakes but it won’t work this time..any advice?
Whoop!!!!! Where the hell are your eyebrows?????? LOL
How about an FAQ about who can post here - like anyone, not just women? I’d like to see that answered once and for all.
Lesley the sleep story was enthralling! I have a Brother-in-law who’s from Cuba, and has never slept very much, still doesn’t. Is retired now, but has been highly successful working for a large corporation, and for a Government agency. Ethnicity was mentioned only as possible connection to his not sleeping.
In learning the precepts of Ayuirvedic Health in regards to sleep, I have gone from being a total night owl, to turning out the lights for a 10pm bedtime and a 6am wake up. This being optimum for rejuvenation and regeneration between 10pm and 2am, also for meditation early in the day, 7-8am, again at 5-8pm for 20-30 minutes.
I feel best when I am in tune with Nature using these Natural rhythms.
Also in the 60 minute story, it showed metabolism’s affect due to lack of sleep, and
the increasing number of type 1 & type 2 diabetes developing. Since I developed
type 1 diabetes as a 15 year old without any direct genetic cause, or any trauma,
and being a good sleeper also, it is quite interesting.
I’ll be awaiting further studies and stories in this regard, Keep up the fascinating
work, Lesley!
Sincerely, Ruthe Ellsworth
What a lovely, sad and yet inspirational story about Tanaquil Le Clercq. It was very nicely written and it made me want to read more about her.
