Thank you, I was using my phone and wasn’t quite sure if it had worked or not!

, I know you have a busy (and fun!) day going, so I worked a little magic to insert that wonderful image directly into your post. Sometimes when we work with collections from other institutions, those collections have some additional layers that make it a challenge to copy and paste. When that happens, I like to use postimage.org - a free, no-registration required, online image converter that lets me import and copy easily. That's what I used in this case, after downloading the image from the Digital Maine Repository.

. For your Maine Central Railroad ad, I took a screenshot and then imported it into postimage.org before copying it and pasting it into your text box. Let me know if you have any questions!

To add clickable (active) tags here in the TPS Teachers Network, you can click on the #ADD TAG icon below the text box. We have standard tags by grade level and content area, but there's also the option to add customized tags. I can imagine lots of eclipse tags being added today!
