Wonderful to See You Again, Seraphin

Your latest articles have sought to define more strongly what Seraphin means.  In the same article, you noted the direction my own articles have gone.  Those things show me the transition goes well since you don't need me to help you do it although I can still offer tips.  There probably won't be any formal turnover as likely the way it plays is the morphine dose increases and it will continue eating my lunch.  When it gets to the point I shouldn't be writing, there won't be any preparation since the fact of it will already be here.  Therefore, it's grand to see your moves toward defining who you are.


To that end of defining yourself, I have some tips for improving the presentation of your images since the only thing they're lacking is size.  When you embed an image, you have options for the resolution at which it will be display.  I find anything with an original size of 500x500 pixels will tolerate being pushed up to the extra large size without too much softening of the image.



Medium is the default size but it's not big enough for maximum impact so I will use Extra Large at every opportunity.  If you would like me to edit your most recent then I will modify the first image to demonstrate that.  Send me a text to affirm and I'll go straight to it to show you.


There's something else which isn't so much an advisory as a nit but it's been incredibly useful to me to keep a number of tabs open in Safari to aid in getting things done.  Two out of those nine tabs are a Thesaurus and a Dictionary based on Random House.

There was a segment for "Toward More Picturesque Speech" and it appeared monthly when I was a kid.  The article featured twenty or so words which are not in common use but which do a better job than those which are more common.  The inspiration in that article continues to this day and it's always served me well.


Everything seems to proceed swimmingly, mate, and it's excellent to see how you rise to it.
