BEA stands for Book Expo America. It'...Andrea,<br /><br />BEA stands for Book Expo America. It's a way for publishers/publicists to show off their upcoming releases and discuss publishing. A lot of bloggers go in order to get together, discuss blogging/publishing, meet authors and publicists and collect mounds of advanced readers. <br /><br />As to the photos . . . when you load photos, the latest goes to the top. So, if you want to put them in a particular order, you can either load them in backwards order or go into "Edit HTML" and copy/paste the HTML for each photo exactly where you want it. It used to be easier to drag and drop photos, but I can't seem to do that, anymore, so I usually end up going into HTML mode to move photos around. <br /><br />As to clicking on the photos to get a larger view . . . I have no idea. Some of them work, some don't. I don't know what the deal is.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-74682091181263737102011-05-24T21:15:02.322-05:002011-05-24T21:15:02.322-05:00Is it best to post all photos on the blog at once ...Is it best to post all photos on the blog at once that you are going to use?

Mysteries and thrillers are a category I pretty much burned myself out on, but like almost everything else I'll still read one, now and then. <br /><br />I'm sorry you didn't get to go to BEA. It was a trade-off for me. I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to meet friends in Charleston that I don't feel bad about missing BEA at all. In years past, I've been so envious I often just disappeared for a week! Not so, this year. I'm thrilled with my travel schedule. Maybe next year, though. ;)<br /><br />Rachel,<br /><br />You're welcome! It's nice to meet you! Thanks. Funny, it seems like every time I've responded to a compliment about the cats they've been on a terror streak, this week.

I don't really like romance, mystery/thrillers or too much science fiction, but I will read anything else! I had been hoping to attend BEA this year, but it didn't seem to work out for me, so I am hoping that next year I will make it there. I know that there are a lot of us that aren't able to go this time around, even some bloggers who have gone in years previous. Though I am bummed about having to miss it, I am hoping that everyone has an amazing time over there!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-21301214645364827762011-05-24T07:17:33.577-05:002011-05-24T07:17:33.577-05:00Heidenkind,

It's been quite interesting. I'm told CNN hosted a "crest party" to gather people to interview. How funny. They ignored the story for at least three weeks and then arrived just as the river was cresting. I suppose it doesn't matter, since the flooding will continue for several weeks (it's dropped a foot but the river is still 6 feet over flood stage in our area).<br /><br />Hi Amy!<br /><br />You're so sweet. It's been fun reconnecting with a few old blog friends I haven't chatted with in a while. I'm loving Armchair BEA. Love you right back!

Such uppers to look at, aren't they?<br /><br />Fiktshun,<br /><br />Your name makes me feel a giggle bubbling up. Thank you and thank you! I can't believe it's been nearly 5 years, blogwise. It went whoosh. <br /><br />My cats are youngsters and therefore terrorists. I can hear them doing damage as I write. I'm terribly crazy about them.<br /><br />Oh, we're actually very dry! Isn't that wild? The river is flooding but most of that water has come from waaaay north. Our temporary cold was awesome. Back to the 90s we go. It's a good time to be reading indoors (and Armchairing). <br /><br />Chime is simply amazing. I can't bear to part with my copy. Oof, I forgot I was working on a review. Oh, well. Head is exploding. I'll get back to it, tomorrow. Stupid cold is killing me. I was a hermit for 2 years. One day of shaking hands and mingling and the germs attacked. It's so very wrong for them to knock me down, just as I'm emerging from my shell, don't you think? <br /><br />Nice to meet you! I hope to get to know you better, this week!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-29998894814459287842011-05-23T20:04:24.631-05:002011-05-23T20:04:24.631-05:00Congratulations on your upcoming Blogoversary!

This year I made the decision not to go because I had too many other fun places calling to me. Kind of a fun reason to miss out, I think! <br /><br />I love the way you blog. It's refreshing *not* to see the same old meme-ish things, here and there, you know?Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.com
