I have heard so many good things about WordPress that I am going to attempt to port over all of my posts from another blogging service (blogger.com) to see if I enjoy the WordPress format better. I think I will do this a post at a time instead of trying to do it all in one massive effort.
For now the old blog will continue to be here at: http://ingenousvortex.blogspot.com/ and I will not abandon it without sufficient warning. I am not sure when or even IF all the posts OR I will end up at WordPress but the URL for that site is http://srplus.wordpress.com/. The post over there is pretty close to this one with only minor changes in the wording.
As far as WordPress is concerned... I was extremely disappointed by the fact that I couldn’t just continue composing in Windoze Word and then copying over to WordPress by pasting directly into the SR+ (srplus) site. Instead I am going to compose in Windoze Live Writer per directions on WordPress forums as the correct way to do it. According to posters on the forum all the extra baggage in the Windoze Word code will cause the site to crash and that cannot be tolerated.
I have over 200 pages of posts on the other forum already and so far am not enjoying Windoze Live Writer very much since it continues to default to grey text every single time I hit a carriage return.
I suppose the work around for this is to just type in whatever font I initially choose. This does not seem to change on hitting return except that it the color and weight go back to the to the default! GRRR!
The workaround that does work and keeps me from having to reformat everything is to type the first letter of the next paragraph before hitting the return and then move the cursor back prior to the new paragraph’s character and then hitting the return… or just keep an extra character to the right of the cursor and keep inputting normally as if it was not there.
This appears to be the most satisfactory solution. Gawd I love these computers. So the website for where I think I will be posting from now on will be hosted by WordPress and is at http://srplus.wordpress.com/. I will continue to double or triple post on the old sites until I get everything the way I want it on one site or the other.
And I will not fail to… WAIT A SECOND GATES‽ .Where did that last complete paragraph I typed go‽ It is happily off in the ether somewhere but here is a picture of the coauthor who provides inspiration and shares the ©
