Collage creation

Does anybody recognize any of these comedy shows? I typed text under the collage after creation, but it did not show. Anyone know what I did wrong? Wow, I cannot believe I was able to do this! This is a great program and I had so much fun doing it. It is really easy (that's what I say now, I don't know about later on). I read the directions for Picasa3 about two times, slowly going step by step and writing down information each time I selected a new tab. When I transferred the pictures from my flash drive to Desktop, I lost the picture of Andy Griffith twice and could not understand why. I went back and looked at each picture. Except for 1 bitmap and 1 gif, the remaining 8 were jpegs. Andy Griffith's picture is a gif and would not transferred. Perplexed, I was not sure what to do, but figured it out. I exported the picture and change the file format from gif to jpeg. I explored the different tabs in Picasa3 as I created the collage ---the settings, grid spacing, background options, page format. After the picture was completed, I also experimented with the basic fixes, tuning, and effects tab. I added a glow to my collage from the effects tab. Once I logged into the blogger site, I was given an option of the collage's setting ---none, left, center, right and the size of small, medium, and large. I chose large, but would have liked to learn how to make it a little larger. If I select "Edit Html," I am afraid the pictures in the collage will be distorted as I try to make it larger. Any suggestions as to how the picture can be increased in size without being too distorted?

Annie,

Your collage is very nice and brings back lots of memories for me. I think we answered the question of how to add text to the images during our last class, but let me know if you still have questions about that.

Otherwise, good job on this assignment.
