Hi. I'm Terry Ballard. In keeping with Wikipedia's strict policies of advertising, I can't tell you anything about myself beyond what you can infer that I am an English-speaking member of the human race. It can be said, however, that searching my name in Google will tell you a lot about me.

[edit] Your images at the commons

I noticed your Fenit harbour image and went back to the commons pages to see that you have been contributing several images. Well done. I added some categories extra to some of the images. They can do with more so that people can find them easier for other uses. It seems to me that your nearly need to categorise them by all appropriate keywords you can think of. I also modified your Killarney cart. It just seemed way too green to be half real - I know it is Ireland but! If you don't like it revert it, but I think it is better. That horse really looked a bit seasick.

BTW, just by following your commons user page I see who you say you are, so the disclaimer above does not really work too well! Cheers ww2censor 20:15, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

WW2censor. Thanks! I think the revised Pony cart picture looks just fine. I'm an admitted tweakaholic with images and I do occasionally get carried away. I'm pleased to hear that someone is patrolling the West of Ireland, and I am trying to improve my skills at this so you will need to do less with my contributions as time goes by. I was just in my Contributions/Gallery page, and found where I could enter keywords, but I do not see a save button, so I'm a bit confused. Thanks again for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terryballard (talk • contribs) (09:31, July 15, 2007)

[edit] Image control

I think I see what you were doing with Waterford Glass and Bunratty Castle, trying to push the text below an added image low enough to clear the image. Have a look at this edit I made to Waterford Glass to see a way to achieve that by inserting a break after the image. Continuing to add more paragraphs is not the way to do this. Hope that helps.

That helps a lot. Thanks!
