I would love to post pics here but I don't know how.
If anyone can tell me I would appreciate it.

There are two ways:
1. If you have a flickr (or the like) account you can copy and paste the proper link(s) from there and your cards will appear.
2. If you have jpg's or what not on your computer, when you go to post, click on the paper clip icon and a 'manage attachments' window will come up. From there, locate the file on your computer and upload it. Then go back to where you were and when you click on the paper clip now, your file will appear under it. Just select it and it will appear in your post.

With number 2, sometimes the file will be too big to upload, so you'll have to go back into photoshop or whatever and reduce the size of the file. You want it to be (I believe) at most around 1MB or slightly larger.

Ok I'll try. I don't know what a jpg is, but I would like to show off my new additions.
I can build a house, but I can not do much on a computer.
I may have to just describe #s 10 and 564.

It's just a type of graphic file. There are also png, gif, tiff and a million other types.

Re the 56 Mantle, I thought the use of certs starting in 0 was a thing of the ancient past?
