I always have a hell of a time getting anything I post to actually show up. Where do you guys post yours?
I use Pinterest and Imgur. You might wanna check this out, too.

Can anyone else see it? Because I can't.

Can't. You need to use the direct link. http://i.imgur.com/R0ODVvJ.jpg

How do I do that? I went back to imgur and realized there was a different link when I hovered over the image as opposed to copying the one on the right. It still doesn't show. I'm starting to get how my mom feels when I try to explain computer stuff to her.

If you sign into your account and click on a picture that you have uploaded, you can see a bunch of links on the right of the image. You want the 'direct link' which is different than the 'image link' that you are most likely getting.

Baern Rumynheim is a strange dwarf. He is taller and slighter than his fellows, and does not seem to be able to grow an honest beard. Perhaps some elvish blood runs in his veins. He is quiet, preferring the company of trees and animals to that of people as a general rule. He keeps to himself, observing what goes on around him from under his cowl.
At an early age, Baern simply left the cavernous halls of his clan, drawn to the forests under the sky. He ran in with an ancient druidic cult and stayed there, taking on elven customs as his own. Over time, his attunement to nature and relative lack of magical proficiency led him to be selected for an ancient and hallowed position--Primeval Guardian of the forests. He was gifted with the abilities this position affords, and for several years used them as he had been taught. However, something more called him to leave the sanctuary of the wooded expanse and set out upon this journey.

I couldn't find anything resembling lenpelletier's screen shot! I futzed around until I got to a thing that said "generate link." That got me there. This is the first time I used imgur. I didn't want to and I didn't want to start an account. Not much makes me feel my age, but trying to get this damn thing into an image-sharing site and to work right makes me want to go home, get into my robe, and drink a nice glass of Metamucil.

Meet Phineas Feldsparr, Dwarven Circle of the Moon Druid!

Phineas' small physique and happy-go-lucky nature often gets him mistaken for a Halfling, much to his father's embarrassment. He is a man torn between two worlds; although born to a long line of Wizards, he betrayed his father's lineage to pursue his natural affinity for nature. He left his clan to become a guardian of the wild and to pursue his connection with nature, yet still remained mindful of how he might still be of service his clan and his people. As he grows in power, he fights to maintain his connection to a culture that doesn't understand his choices.

It's still not what I have in mind for what the character looks like, but I'm done messing with it.

I use PostImage--it's probably not as functional as imgur, but its much more intuitive, apparently.

Phineas and Billy will probably get along pretty well, since his personality is also more akin to a Halfling.

BTW, my daughter named our cat Phineas. And, of course, we have another one named Ferb. Ferb got out when we moved six months ago, and we thought he was lost forever. He finally came home Saturday!

Yeah, I think you have to have an account for that feature to work. I could set you up an account using an old email address if you like!

Hey len? Since Phineas is a druid, perhaps he could be from the same Circle as Baern and he could be helping him on his quest. Perhaps they were friends in the Circle, and when Baern sort of went rogue Phineas, as his best friend, decided to go with him? That would explain why a druid is trudging through a frozen wasteland on this quest that has little to do with the protection of the forests.

Well, I think I have that old learning curve licked. It took me about two seconds to upload and get a link for this:

Wow, that's an amazing story about Ferb! I haven't heard of Phineas and Ferb ... my two boys are 4 years old but haven't gotten into that one yet.

I'm not ashamed to admit, I was watching it when my daughter was too young to care. Same with Adventure Time!

As for the cat Ferb, it's not the first time he got out. We used to live on a farm and had three stray cats we rescued, Ferb and Stan Shortly (my daughter is awesome at naming animals) were feral kittens. Inside, they're the most loving and affectionate cats you can imagine. If they get out, though, they instantly revert to their feral nature, and it's almost impossible to get close to them. Until they haven't eaten for a while, that is.

When we moved six months ago, I didn't realize a window screen was loose in the new house until I saw the two cats wandering around outside. I kept seeing Stan Shortly once in a while, but never Ferb. It took Stan Shortly a couple months to get hungry enough for her to get close enough to grab, but Ferb never showed up. A week ago, we started getting glimpses of him. Finally, on Saturday he came close enough to grab him. He clawed the hell out of my hand, but I got him inside, got him a flea treatment, and checked him for worms before releasing him into gen pop. Within an hour, he was in my lap, purring like crazy, like he had never left. My daughter was at her mom's for the weekend and was in tears when I called her to tell her about it.
