That reminds me

Whilst I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to get the formatting right
(I’m hoping the new style will be a cheat in that direction as the column is
now narrower ;) ), I’m reminded of all those error messages I keep getting.

I keep receiving emails telling me that people are experiencing broken links
or errors when loading certain pages. If you do find yourself getting errors
then please do email me about them. I do get the automated messages but I
tend to ignore them and also can never replicate the error when I do bother
to check. Perhaps with a little more feedback I can sort it out though,
hence please do send me an email complaining at length… just try to
remember what you did so I can try and replicate the problem later.

Thanks.

The continuing saga of remote blogging

So I’m left with plain text. This seems =
to cause
one problem and that is line width. Oddly enough it works perfectly fine =
in
outlook only to be reformatted when I post to X-Hub. So I figured =
I’d
check out what WordPress themselves =
recommend.

 

It seems that WordPress should handle =
HTML
formatting fine so after checking my settings and changing it from =
auto-formatting
for email to document I figured I’d have another =
go.

 

Also, on a side note, I figured I might have =
a look at
changing my blog to a new program entirely. I don’t know why but =
this
Wordpress has the tendency to leave me cold and uninspired. I think =
I’ve
got two other options which my provider will auto-install (saves me =
getting all
technical). I may try those out at some =
point.

Third attempt at remote posting

Okay so now Im going for rich text in =
the hope that with me being able to use as long a line as I like it =
should, note should, come out a little better on the page =
itself.

Now the =
only thing worrying me is that with free reign over
font and size etc my posts are going to look silly. I =
wonder if such things are solvable using CSS? No doubt there is some =
techy means of solving thing
as to what they are =
I
ve no idea but its worth a hunt around if =
this little experiment works

An attempt at autoformatted remote posts..

Okay I’ll have to see how this one goes and I’ll be leaving any mistakes up
there for all to see.

The first emailed post I sent (like about 5 minutes ago or some such) came
up with the lines broken up and ‘=’ everywhere. This one is not done using
the standard HTML formatting of outlook (something I considered safe… you
know HTML and posting to an internet blog… but no) but rather in plain
text. How can it go wrong?

Let’s find out.

Remote blogging

Okay so I’ve been lacking in my blogging recently. In fact ever since I got busy on the forums last year and work got busy I’ve hardly posted. Well I’m hoping to change this with one simple step, posting via email.

 I figure I’ve always got email access; it’s a whole lot more innocent and less involved if you get caught out. I’ve got spell checking and such (well at work I do, the laptop still thinks I’m a yank but ho hum) and I can manage to post side by side with responding to my fan mail…(kidding, obviously).

 So, for about the sixth time, viva la revolution!

(Note to self, the formatting sucks… note to others, I corrected it already.)
