Hmm... Re manip etiquette, I'll have to defer to older & wiser heads in that universe... I suspect asking someone if you can use their work is always a good idea!
Re Web links... if you use LJ's page editor, you want the Rich text side. If you look across the top at your command menus you will see an icon with a globe and chain links.. that's your hyperlink command. What you wanna do is this: highlight the word or words your want to link to, then click that icon; it will give you a place to plug in the URL. What SHOULD happen is your text will be linked.. Sorry I can't show you in this reply, but for some wierd reason LJ doesn't seem to let you show code in their reply.
Since you're actually doing a backup journal elsewhere, you might wanna consider going to Windows Live and downloading Live Writer... you can write your post, do the linking from there ( same concept, very simple ) and publish to both sites.. you just have to give it your user name, account ID & password to the site so it can log you in when it publishes your post. You can select which one to post to... unfortunately it doesn't let you post to both at once. The good thing is that you have a backup on your own machine so whatever happens to the site in future, you have a copy of your writing on your hard drive ( and a CD backup ). If you wanna try it, here's the URL:
http://download.live.com/writer
Just pay attention when you download, unless you really WANT all the other Web tchotchkes they want you to install as well -- just uncheck the box if you don't want it...
Not entirely sure about HP Image, but I'm betting it works like many image processing programs. Open the program, and open your pic in it. Look in the toolbar; typically, if there's a text tool ( and there usually is ), its icon is a box with a letter in it ( usually either a T or an A; I know what that sounds like, quit snickering & pay attention, LOL!! )
Most of the time hovering your cursor over an icon will tell you what it does. Once you find it, click on it and a text box will open -- usually you can use whatever fonts are installed on your machine. Usually you can move the box over the pic so you can put it where you want.
Once it's there, you need to make sure you choose "Save As" rather than "Save" so you don't muck up your original image. Be careful here -- many programs will let you "undo" things, but once you've saved it, that's literally "all she wrote".
Hope this helps... I'm still deciding whether I wanna go back to work tomorrow, but in either case, give me a yell if you have problems..!

If you don't feel up to a full day, you might call up and bargain for 4 hrs of your day.... I at one point or another in my radiation treatments needed to do the same. If you are in any doubts whether you can make it through a full day, err on the side of rest. This 'wot ye 'ave is no picnic. Let me know if you need anything.
HP Image-- I don't recall seeing that in tools-- I guess I need to open it back up and take a poke at it. Sporangia has said she might load a simple version of Photoshop, and that sounds like it might be what I ultimately want to do.
