A Little Bit of Blog Post Magic

Quite a few times I have changed my blog. I like to learn new things about Blogger. Play around a bit with layouts, buttons, try out new designs. Sometimes it's because of enticing "would you like to learn about blah blah new feature of blogger" as I log on. Sometimes it is because of clever bloggers, who put interesting little bits and pieces on their blogs. Sometimes I just find things...

like this...

In Word there is the option to open a new  blog post. 

So all I did was type my post title (where it helpfully says to!)
Then I went to town with symbols and wingdings etc...in the body of the screen.

There's a helpful PUBLISH button in the top left hand side of the screen. 

You can publish in draft or straight to your blog, if you're game, which I'm not.

So here is what I was able to do...

Can I possibly draft a blog post in MS Word and put all kinds of fancy stuff in it?????
What if I'd like to put in a ©, or a T

Perhaps I can send a ) to a deserving recipient
How about when I feel like singing – r ‚ E e q
Or when something makes me J

What about when I don't like something - a M for instance?

Or what about a little ‰ if I feel like travelling.

So there you have it. A whole new world of blog post magic...

....imagine...the fun with fonts, sizes, colours, symbols...

If I can do this...there's no doubt you will be able to too!

Photos on the go

I have a lot of blog posts with 'draft' next to them. I start to write ideas, leaving spaces for a photo or two, go hunting for the camera, take a few shots, wrench the computer away from whichever 'YouTwitFace' teen that is hogging it, upload, resize...you know the drill.
Somehow, though, I reach the 'go hunting for the camera' or, more likely the 'wrench the computer away' hurdle and it all ends there, with that nasty little word 'draft' staring at me every third post or so.
But no longer... I have a new bloggy helper

Photos when I want to, even crop or turn to black and white. Internet access when I want. I. am. happy. (and I do like it's name better than its new big brother/sister)

This says it all...
