I discovered quite by accident that Weavolution is blogspot friendly.
I can post an article on my blog,
http://francosfiberadventure.blogspot.com/
After I save the posting, I can highlight the article, pictures and all, and post it into the Weavolution forum.
Still have to watch out for the 5000 character text limit though, so splitting the message may be required.
But that is so much easier than having to upload pictures again and again.
Have a good day!

Franco, what a great suggestion!
Thanks for the input.
I love what you're doing with small looms and small amounts of fiber. And I'm curious about your Weavatar and the rabbit. I'd love it if you'd add something about yourself in the profile section.

Hi Alison,
I added the following to my profile:
Somebody asked about the rabbit in my weavatar picture. There is actually two rabbits in the picture, one is hidden behind the other. They are Red Satin Angora rabbits.
Rabbitgeek.com is my website. My sons started in 4H rabbit project in 1999 and we had a wonderful time going to rabbit shows, fairs, national livestock shows and conventions, etc. My sons no longer show rabbits.
Until recently, we had angora rabbits. My lovely wife Tracy was the chief angora wrangler. Because of the rabbits, we learned to spin the fiber. We used to throw it away until we found out people would buy all we had for $5 or $6 per ounce!
Anyway, I learned to use a drop spindle. My lovely wife Tracy started out with needle felting, but soon was spinning with a Babe Electric Flyer electric spinning wheel. Then she discovered the Knifty Knitter knitting looms and knitted up a ton of scarves and hats.
I also designed a cardboard spinning wheel/charkha that can be built for under $20. www.rabbitgeek.com/charka.html
Once I started spinning yarn, I knitted a scarf. Then I decided to try weaving. I'm learning all I can about weaving now.
The rabbits started us out in fiber projects.
Have a good day!
That is so great! I love your story. It is too late tonight, but I am definitely going to check out your site.
Thanks!
Alison
