Raindrops keep falling….

…on my Hosta .

Send some sunshine over to other parts of Blogworld where it’s raining and this is what happens; they send back some rain.  A little rain was welcome, but it rained all afternoon. It’s sort of a tropical humid environment now. I can see the moss growing on the patio. Life threatening circumstances. Chances are I’ll slip and break something important. Hope the rain returns to sender before that happens. Or that it will be one of our limited edition precious porcelain cups. Or saucers.

Notice the artyfarty stuff going on at the bottom of the photo on the right. It’s a Windows Live Writer option.

IMG_4111Oh, and I’m guessing (I haven’t tried it out yet, but I’ve ticked a few boxes and chose a couple of options) that if you click on a photo now, it will open much bigger and in a new screen. Or on a new screen. Or whatever is the correct term.

The only problem I encountered in WLW ‘so far is that I couldn’t upload the hilarious Youtube video of the fireman (the previous post). So I had to use Blogger for that. I’m not bothered by that. Are you?

  1. I am going to have to give this live writer a go - I do hate Blogger with a passion. I had lots of good intentions about setting up my own page, but it hasn't happened so far (well, you know about the lazy arse hat, don't you?). Did live writer do the reflection thing at the bottom of the photo?

  2. I checked into LiveWriter, but as soon as it asked for more information than Windows Live already has I decided against it.

  3. DBM,
    Yes, Windows Live Writer did the reflection thing. Clever non? It's really so much easier to work with, especially if your posts consist of photos ánd text. Saves hours and frustration.
    And it sends your posts to Blogger for publication. Easy.

    IT,
    And I don't think Blogger is as frustrating for you, since you generally don't post photos and masses of text. If you have no problems doing your lay-out in Blogger, there is no reason to use WLW.

  4. I'll have to look at WLW again. I'm not sure I was using the right thing because it posted the text and left out the photo even though I followed the instructions to the letter - unusual for me as I usually dive in headfirst . . .

  5. I've never had any problems with Blogger, basically because the options they give are the things I want anyway.

    As long as you post what you want, I don't care how you post it. Especially if they are cute firemen (unintentionally) smoking dope!

  8. Techy stuff usually goes WHOOSH right over my head, so I'll comment on the weather instead. We've had more than our fair share of rain over here. Where's SUMMER? Geez.
