      LOL! I tried so hard to clean mine up today but I swear after two hours I just rearranged it and deleted maybe two folders. But at least it has pretty pictures on it! Have fun adding your pictures!

    I'm a little confused. When I clicked convert, it just comes up as letters, numbers, and symbols. Is that correct?

    • TurntoLearn says

      October 1, 2012 at 2:25 am

      That's odd! When you click convert, don't click open the file, just save it onto your computer. Then continue with the next section of the tutorial. I'm thinking that will fix the problem… let me know if it helps!
