Today, taking a break away from my novel, “Dragons and Angels”, I spent hours and hours figuring out Windows Live Writer and using it to post on this site. For that task, it is very well suited and as it is similar in feel to Word, with which I am very comfortable,I will be using it exclusively. The writing frame provided by Blogspot is impossible for a blind writer to use without suffering the sort of pain in the ass with which you become terribly familiar when you are visually impaired.

 

As I write this, I am a little annoyed that the lines seem a little short, but I assume they will fit the standard Blogger page, so I’m not going to sweat it. Also, WLW doesn’t provide a way for me to enter tags while I’m making the post, so I’ll have to publish, then back into the blog with Internet Explorer and unload any tags I might want.  Once again, a pain in the ass.  But the ease with which I can write and edit apost is so great compared to the old way of doing it, that I’m willing to suffer.

 

I realize that this is all unspeakably dull, and will now be returning to the sort of kvetching, bitching and philosophic maundering with which CN readers have become so terribly familiar.

 

Excelsior, pilgrims!
