You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ok, I need help, and I need help.

It's for the scavenger hunt. I am the techiest geek on our team (HA!) and I am creating, in wordpress.com, a gallery of US senators. You're supposed to mouse over each pic, and any "infamies" they're done are supposed to pop up when you roll over them.

Amy was really helpful, and I DID the gallery part (well, I've got the pix, still gathering dirt on 100 senators. With citations, because I'm like that). But I can get the info to come up when I CLICK on a pic, and it's supposed to appear when I MOUSE/ROLL over it.

Can anyone either (a) tell me, in clear language, how to do this, or (B) when I get the gallery up, go in as an admin and put in mouseover code.

As you can can tell, I am geek lite (but I am getting geekier, and reveling in it!)

I have to go to a church and try to get them to sing Eye of the Tiger for me in an hour or so. Reply here is good, reply at profile addy is good, and if you email me, I'll be happy to give out phone number if you need to talk me through it.

PLEASE.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What are you doing to get the info to come up when you click?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Make it the alt text for the image? I don't know what that is in WordPress without looking at it -- Caption, Description?

Yes, I can definitely do that -- but it's a click on, not a mouseover, which is what the rule stipulated.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Erin, when I mouseover the pictures now, I get the information popping up: Name (Party) State. This is not a thing I know about, but it seems to be working.

Ok, let me tinker with one, and report back.

YESSSS!!!! Now, hopefully, the title will let me add more than a line to two.

Uh, anyone wanna help me look for scandals for senators? Email is good. [link]
