Answering Tommy's question from March 29th....


Tommy asks a good question, and for him and any others who might be wondering about that, here's how to check your allotment's usage:-

* Log onto your blog, which puts you onto the Dashboard page of it. Instead of starting a new post, or the usual stuff, look up along the upper right in the dark blue area for some fairly small titles near its upper edge. One of those says 'My Account'.  Click on that one.

* On that page, look about a third of the way down, to where there's displayed some icons and descriptions of the various features or other Google programs that you are subscribed to, and you will see among them one for Picasa Web Albums. That's how Google handles all your pictures that are posted on your blog.  Click on that entry to go to its page.

* On Picasa Web Albums page, you'll see details of your collections of pictures, public and not, and another of the picture or icon you're using on your blog (if any). Now look away down at the bottom of the page, again in rather small print, for a line that says.........
"You are using 235 Mb (23.02%) of your 1024 Mb......" and they invite you to increase that with more storage space which you can purchase on a yearly basis, if you're getting near the limit.

And that's how you find your amount of storage already used, and what's left of it.

  1. Ray, actually I did try and respond but when I tried to publish my post, it went haywire. Anyway, I did as you suggested but still can't find what you make reference to. Could it be due to the fact that I don't use Pica or any of those things?
