不用谢朋友 ：）

got it, thanks!

ok, it looks like it wont post the opening bracket because it tries to act on it I guess, but obviously that goes just before img and is the mirror image of >

also you can change the width and height values but width can't exceed 425

哦，不好意思，我差不多忘了:

img src="paste the images url here" alt="" width="425" height="544"

then put this:

>

at the end and this:

那没有关系吧～　I thought I recognized a lefty slant in your hand but yeah we could still be doing the same sort of motion with the 你s.　有意思了。

我男朋友是！Does that count?

呵呵，真不敢当！

可能——你也是个左撇子吗？

Yay more are joining in and making this merrier!

我很开心！

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice that. That's right. Because I posted it "correctly" it would have tried to post a picture [but couldn't because where a url goes I had "paste the url here" ..or words to that effect. Yeah, I need to leave something off and then tell you what that was or something like that. I'll give that formula another shot in a sec.

Yes, post the picture twice, but of course once you've got the pic in the right spot in the subthread you'd go and delete the one that was out there lonesomely on it's own starting a new subthread.

The formula doesn't show up for me. Maybe you need to leave a bracket off or something? As for the second tip, I get what you're saying, but does that mean that I would need to post the picture twice? (or is it possible to delete the first picture posted after "editing"?)

babyeggplant,

denada pengyou,

Here's the formula for inserting an image in a reply:

...and you can change those width and height figures around as long as width is never greater than 425.

...but here's a tip if you can't remember that formula. Just post the pic as you did above as the start of a new subthread using the pic icon. Immediately after successfully posting it hit the edit buttton. It should then have that whole img src code there. Copy and past that into a reply under the person you want to reply to, hit reply and voila !

Mmm “习”比我写的好得多

Oh right haha (v nice, esp the 望!)

Mmm how long have you been doing this? What do you just like learn very very quickly?

Again, Baba as long as you don't look at any of my writing as a model, be my guest and study it to your heart's content, glad it's awesome fun! The most serious problem is that my stroke order I'm ashamed to say is quite often suspect and I really really don't want to lead anybody astray esp if they've just started learning how to write.

Oh and here I don't know what I was thinking, I used Japanese brackets 「」 instead of quotation marks around the 练习.

Yeah like Orangina said, the 3 dimensions, height width and time. The traces of how the person moved.

hey, I must say this is awesome fun reading your natural handwriting. I can see how you go from one stroke to the next [like the standing ren radical in ni...at the bottom of the first stroke you can see how you've headed up to start the second stroke, and it's interesting in 酷 in the you3 radical on the left how you go from the first stroke of the box down the bottom to do the second stroke which is the top and left side in one quick swoop...that's cool and I feel I'll understand handwriting better now that I've seen that] . I'm already onto it, hehe. I can see how natural and quick it would be.

你很酷！【联系，吧 ：） 。。。。呵呵 ；） 】

thanks zhen...baby steps first. I know what you mean. I think that's good advice.

Baba the last thing I want is to seem patronizing. But I'm sure in handwriting it's so important especially at the start to write honest, wholesome characters, sincere and clear. I have a tendency to add volume and puff things up and in trying to compensate for strokes I find difficult, end up distorting my chars. I'm no sleuth but our writing really does reveal a lot about us.

If anyone were ever to remark that yours is a young childlike hand I would take that to mean I'm approaching this writing thing correctly. It's nice to look at is what I mean.

haha, thanks guys. Crude, blocky and young childlike, but all I'm after is communication. It's a start. Having played around with it a bit tonight, I can see that practice is definitely in order. I can see now how skritter teaches you the basic structure, but it always does these little adjustments. as it should. I can't see how it could be any better at what it does. So a great teaching tool, but I know what our mate bodawei was getting at in that other thread.

Of course we can, every char is very clear and easy to read.

我喜欢联系中文手写

yeah of course, it's clear as, much better than taking half an hour to figure out other people's handwriting...

哈哈，明天吧，我快要睡觉了 :D

给我们看一下吧！
