Blogger features

I like the fact that Blogger is releasing new features. I really like the ability to post pictures – it was far too fiddly before, and Flickr is good, but sometimes it’s good to be able to just put the odd picture up without worrying about how Flickr-worthy it would be. The anti-spam word verification feature is very good too. Since I enabled it, no more stupid spam comments – thanks for the tip, Mooiness! And now they’ve released the Blogger for Word plug-in, so I’m writing this in Word. I wonder how this plug-in works – usually if I use Word to write a post I have to strip out all the Word code by putting the text into NotePad first, otherwise it hurts my head to look at in html.

Ok. Posted using the plug-in, and it was pretty painless and easy to use. I miss the Add URL feature though, it’s nice to be able to be lazy and just plug a link in over some highlighted text, and not have to a href blah blah blah…

WOOT! No more brown!! Why didn’t I do this any earlier!?

Argh it’s so bright …. my eyes! 😉

And here I thought that you went for the sepia look because it’s the colour of aged paper and since you’re a librarian it was sorta appropriate. Hahaha…

Oh, the word that I got for verification is “okwee”….hah!

Mooiness, I just chose the previous template cos I felt like it the day I created this blog.. I’m glad the word verification isn’t completely offputting 🙂

Hello James 🙂 Celebrity deathmatch, huh? I’ll have to think of a pair of celebs to suggest 🙂

Hey, thanks for the tip on new blogger anti-spam feature. And to Mooiness too. Been receiving lots of spam lately so that came in handy.
