I sometimes compose offline in Word and then cut and paste to the blog when I'm online. Works for me, and I think my patience meter might be slightly lower than yours! I don't do many photos, mainly because I just take pictures for my enjoyment but am not very good at it (If I still had 40 year old eyes I would be much better!).<br /><br />Your blog is great no matter how you do it.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-65509542225816613512009-09-18T11:04:41.257-04:002009-09-18T11:04:41.257-04:00Hi, Al.

A tip on the photos (which I learned when my readers complained about my photos begin cut off the page): don't size them any larger (using the options on the right when you highlight the photo in your blog) than 600 pixels wide. If you are using a "table" to put photos side by side, the total width should be under 600 pixels (2 photos side by side, each photo 300 pixels each).<br /><br />Livewriter gives you LOTS of wonderful photo options, including writing little captions that show up when a reader hovers their cursor over the photo... but for me, the two best things about Live Writer:<br /><br />Copies of your blogs are saved on YOUR computer where you can back them up (remember to do so!), a huge bonus.<br /><br />and<br /><br />You can create your blog posts OFFLINE - you don't have to be connected to the i-net to blog. We use an aircard, and sometimes we don't have service (rarely). I can create one, two, or more blog entries offline, ready to post when we have i-net again. Totally cool!<br /><br />Email me privately with questions; I love LiveWriter and am glad to help (email address is on my profile page, or Facebook).<br /><br />Safe travels!Laurie and Odelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160352835343733761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-87595727644508646592009-09-18T09:48:04.871-04:002009-09-18T09:48:04.871-04:00Slow down, Al!

I really...Al, your blog looks terrific - congrats! I really like the 'reflection' border you used for the windmill pic at the top - very nice. If you hadn't said so, I never would have guessed this is your first post using Live Writer. Can't wait to see what you can do with the pics you take on your upcoming trip.<br /><br />A one week delay in your takeoff time? Just add a week to the end! Small stuff - right?<br /><br />Just one more quick note to hopefully save you some time(and Kelly too - lol), and maybe a bit of frustration, you can control the size of the 'enlarged' pic to display when it is clicked on in your posted blog.<br /><br />When you insert the pic in your blog, just click on it, then click on "options" in the 'task pane' and when the pop-up window shows, just pick a size from the drop-down box, or enter a custom size in width and height(make sure lock ration box is checked).<br /><br />Great start!!!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-87508267026039685292009-09-17T22:39:00.588-04:002009-09-17T22:39:00.588-04:00Loved the WINDMILLS,,,neat!!

I think that is too bad because there are not enough details. I hope you'll change that again because I really like your pictures, you do an excellent job.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010712914240978913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-16240799666670049232009-09-17T22:04:16.529-04:002009-09-17T22:04:16.529-04:00I know the feeling Al, I have had Live Writer arou...I know the feeling Al, I have had Live Writer around for a year and still can't get the photo part to work. Oct 24th sounds like heaven to me, I think this working thing is addictive and I may not get away this winter, but I will at least be able to enjoy the SW through your eyes. Keep 'em open and on the road my friend.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016073653349776611noreply@blogger.com
