Thank you again. Here's the latest (totally new) revision. It all seems to be working thanks to your patient guidance. I want to try to make the links clickable. Other than that... I'm going to put into the universe and see what happens. SO very excited. Warmly, Ellie https://arcg.is/i9SO5

Luba, you've been wonderful. I decided to re-do it. It's possible I'd fussed with it so much that I was confusing the software AND me Here's the new link: https://arcg.is/i9SO5 The only issue is still the video. I am trying to give it a start and end ... but I may have to just pull the section out and do it separately or just not use video right now. Somewhere I saw where you can give it a start and end, but now I can't locate the post. 😞 Nor can I get it to show up. I'll try the video again in the morning. You've been amazing and so patient. I'm hoping I can add the additional tour stops tomorrow and actually see if we can use it and begin to promote it. I believe I can use a QR code to post in stores and also post it on fb and the website. Should I show this as completed? Or leave it open in case I need a bit more guidance. In any case, you've been amazing. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm so very excited! Warmly, Ellie PS I'm looking forward to seeing if I can work with the woman who's finishing up a bike trail map. I'd like to make that available by this fall.

Thanks, Luba. Keep in mind that I'm using Story Maps Tour with side panel Map: I had already created the extent. It's actually there now. But it doesn't seem to be working without clicking the first slide. Thumbnails: If you look at this on mobile, it distorts the original photos. Do I upload thumbnails and where do I put them since I'm using TOUR. And do I upload them to Google+ and then pull them in from there. Video: The pop up that allows for video URL, location, etc. I used this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAmRr0Vk6LM&t=59s&start=21&end=116 But it ends up deleting the start and end. I'm so close, and so frustrated. LOL here's my login info - maybe it will help owllady8 Ladie8BuG I can change the password later. Thanks Luba. You're being so very patient with me.

Luba, Thanks so much for checking it out and responding. SO appreciated. I did get a response from the Esri FB page. They are taking a peek at it, too. Here's what I sent them if you still want to look at it. 1. Using google plus for photos has been a challenge. I've made posts then imported them. I guess that's correct. 2. I used a street map, but when viewing on desktop in the first slide, you have to click the 'home' icon to get it to show the street map as opposed to the world map. 3. On mobile, again the map shows as a world view rather than my street map. That's very taxing for the mobile user. 4. I've not figured out how to get thumbnails uploaded and I was wondering if they're needed for the mobile part because on mobile the photos are all distorted. 5. If I use thumbnails for mobile, what size should be uploaded and where do I upload to? Actually, I thought it happened automatically in mobile, but maybe not. 6. I found the code for 'start' and 'end' the video I used. But it doesn't work on desktop. It shows the entire video. I've watched 2 videos, but can't quite figure out how to do it. 5. Video on mobile doesn't even show up. 6. Can I place a slide that has the viewer send us an email with the shop locations so that we can do a drawing on a certain date? That's it for now. It took me about 3 long days to do what I did. But I believe it has great potential for many things to help smaller communities market themselves. I'd like to figure it out and maybe make a chart so I can repeat it. LOL I also know our city is about ready to announce a bike trail. I'd love to know how to add that to a mobile app. That would be perfect. Thanks so much for any assistance. Possibly I'm out of my element and shouldn't be messing with this. I'm no techie, but I've always been able to see possibilities. I had to try my idea! While you're looking at it, I'm trying to watch other videos. If you need passwords, I have no problem giving them to you. Warmly, Ellie

I'm 73 yrs old and see a wonderful opportunity to add a scavenger hunt story map to my promotions for Havre de Grace Magazine. Of course, the goal is to encourage people to learn more about our fine city. I've got some glitches and don't quite know what to do next. I've included the link so that you can see it. Thanks in advance for any support! Warmly, Ellie
