If anyone is particulary good with graohics, or has photoshop, can you edit the colours in this picture: 
for me please, it needs to be yellow, not blue.

Paint Shop Pro X
Which takes less time to download and will do much of what Photoshop does.
I have both installed so I've edited it for you using PSP just to show that it can be done.
I used Photoshop when I did that envelope one for you.
However, as Genryu said, you learn much more by doing it yourself so this is the last time!
Well, Mark, ZenMonk doesn't have all the answers. Like you, sometimes I need help. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ASKING FOR HELP. In fact, isn't that what this thread B]Is some kind of HOW-TO guide or HELP NEEDED section a possibility[/B]? under [B]Site Discussion[/B all about?
What ZenMonk doesn't know is that you are the only one on this website to give me any help, and I thank you.
Asking people to share a resource with you is VERY RESOURCEFUL!
I will also be posting this on your GRAPHICS thread under LOTUS LOUNGE.
Thank you, Mark/Sangha for everything!!!
Peace & Joy Always
ONE) I am a total doofus, and of no help at all, and
TWO) In cases like this, in my experience, the more folks try to help, the more complicated it can be; If you go one good person helping you out, go with that, unless a solution is not forthcoming....
Just my 2 penn'orth...
I entirely agree but would also point out that asking someone else to do what you are fully capable of doing yourself is not the same as asking for help when it's really needed and you cannot do it yourself. The one is honest, the other is just lazy.
As for following technical advice that doesn't work for you, why spend so much precious time on something someone else can do for you more efficiently. WE DO HAVE AN ECONOMIC SHAREHOUSE.
When I first read you responses, they seemed silly to me, rather reminding me of Mahatma Gandhi's visitor who asked him where all his furniture was when he visited him? You know what was said.
Why should anyone have to carry extra baggage or branch out and be able to do every little technical thing? Better to perfect food-gathering and other basic survival and cooperating skills! Of what use is it to master today's ever-changing software? A new edition's gonna come out the day after tomorrow, and you'll have to learn all over again. And, Zenmonk, some of us really do need someone to walk us through the steps. That is not a moral failing.
Another thought, or rather, image, I had while reading you was my driving my car to my home state of South Dakota, and my car breaking down in Missouri. What idiot garage would make me perform all the repairs myself?
Oh, we are all so interdependent. That can be a good thing, it can impart some humility at times.
I believe, as I have been taught in Vedanta, that religion should, first and foremost, be PRACTICAL. It should uncomplicate our lives, not burden them down.
Who is Jonathan? Who is Mark? Who is Sangha? Who is Nirvana? Who needed what done? Was it Sangha or Nirvana?
-bf
Now, I think, Mark is Sangha's everyday name. Can't say who needed help more, Mark or me. Mark got someone to make his what-you-may-call-it ("Avatar?").
But I repeat:
IT'S OK TO BE LOST. ENJOY THE SCENERY!
I had some questions which I posted under Site Discussion.
THANKS FOR CARING! THANX FOR SHARING!
And it's attitudes like that that keep us IT consultants in a job! Well said Nirvana, well said indeed ! :bigclap:
I'm pulling your leg by the way, please don't take me too seriously !!
Thanks for asking, Zenmonk! I am not a member of a Buddhist sangha, nor have I ever been, but I have been reading Buddhist tracts and books for more than 25 years.
However, I am a member of a Vedanta "Sangha," and have been for more than 20 years. I have been initiated by a swami who is a direct disciple of a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrisha, the great Indian Saint who achieved Mahasamadhi in August 1886. He has also been in prolonged direct contact with several disciples of Holy Mother, Sri Ramakrishna's wife. He came over to this country from India in 1954, and is in his nineties now. I have benefitted much from this, and spend as much time as I can there. This is my sangha.
I am a laborer in the vineyard, so to speak, with some lumbar vertebrae issues, but I have sat for meditation and do so as time allows. However, I do exhausting physical work with the elderly, and find sitting to read more amenable during long stretches of calendar time.
At the same time, I am pretty well-versed in Christian culture, literature, history, and theology. I have just very recently discovered newbuddhist and am enjoying reading and posting. NO OTHER SITE HAS EVER LURED ME IN, SO I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH THIS SORT OF THING.
But what about you? I must say, many of your entries are long, and I haven't yet had time to look at them with due justice. Perhaps you could send me a note of where to look?
Remember, I'm new, and am having a lot of trouble just finding my place.
