Blogging with Windows Live Writer

Blogging on my Multiply site is very different from blogging here on Blogger. I felt that in Multiply, my creativity is limited because there’s not much I can do in my blogs there. Also, I could never figure out how to put photos in my Multiply blog.

So far here in Blogger, I have been enjoying writing my blogs with the help of Windows Live Writer. With Windows Live Writer, my creativity is not limited to the few options available on Blogger. Where there are few fonts to use on Blogger, Windows Live Writer has all the fonts available.

Another advantage is that I can write my blogs offline and save the draft. Aside from that, editing my blogs are ever easier because Windows Live Writer pulls my blogs online and takes it to my file where I can edit it.

Publishing photos have also been fun. Here are ways that photos can be published on Windows Live Writer:

Drop Shadow Border

Instant Photo Border

Photo Paper Border

Reflection

Solid Border

View Full Album

One of the ways you can post your photo album. Fun, right?

And that’s just about posting photos, there are so many more you can do with Windows Live Writer. You can post videos, tables, maps, add hyperlinks and so much more.

I learned about Windows Live Writer from Amy Bayliss. I posted a previous blog about this. Try it, you’ll probably enjoy it as much as I do.

Getting Into the Groove (of this Blog)

Phew! Although I do maintain a blog on Multiply, I haven't been that technically savvy with it. I mean I've seen posts with pictures on it. I tried doing the same thing but have been unsuccessful so far. Not one to give up, I've been researching on ways that I can post pictures within my blog. So far, I've come across Split Decisionz, a website by Amy Bayliss where she offers tutorials, some free blogger templates, buttons and the like. I am subscribing to her site because I know I'll learn much from her.

Now I am going to try to post a photo here and it should appear below this sentence:

Okay, so far I got it to go where I want it to go. But what's with the blue line? Earlier today I kept trying to post photos in my other blog, but I was obviously unsuccessful since that first blog doesn't have even one photo on it. I decided to let it go for awhile and just come back to this.

Now what I've done is to choose to tick box where it says no layout. I then cut my original post and pasted it on top of this photo. Worked, right? Right, but I am wondering how to get rid of that blue line.

By the way, that pix was taken by my Guitar Babe during her beach outing with her grandparents.

Okay so back to the purpose for this blog.
