Well, after several attempts, this 'Totaly Lost' "older" guy has found his way out of 'Computer Land'.  Special thanks to CSXT30 and all of you for your assistance.

The blue bar along the bottom of the photo is part of the frame that supports the clear plastic "dust cover". About a third of the Layout is not shown. I took the photo from my perch atop my Computer desk. (Only wish I had half the room that Reggie has! Oh well, something to wish for.)

Nice layout!  Looks like you have quite a bit in a small space.  Take some more pics and post 'em we love pics around here! Big Smile [:D]

One way to get a pic of the entire layout is to take a portrait instead of landscape (your pic above is landscape).

Looks good! 

Now if only I can figuire out how to download photos to the computor from my digital camera, put photos in a file from first download but can not download any more photos from digital camera. Followed all the instructions in the manual that came with the camera so it must be a computor problem.

Here is how I do it. 

Does your camera connect via a cord?  If so, plug cord in to PC and to camera.  Turn camera on. (sometimes you have to set it to the "play" position).  Wait a few minutes and then go to "my computer" on your PC and see if there is an extra drive (H or F?).  If there is double click on it and the folders in it and you should find your photos.  Open up a "my pictures" folder.  Go back to the camera folder, Select All, and drag them to my pictures.  They should copy over.

Lionroar88: The camera that I am using is as old or nearly as old as I am. It only takes one setting. If I can borrow one with the "portrait" feature, I certainly will. Many thanks for the info.

I think you can achieve a portrait feature by rotating the camera 90 degrees Smile [:)]
