Blogging
I use Windows Live Writer to upload most of my photos for blog posts because it provides an easy and convenient way to add a watermark to all my photos. Not only is it easy, you can also set the watermark to default so you don’t actually have to do it for each individual photo. Live Writer will just remember your preference and do it for you.
Here’s how I do it (I’m assuming you’ve already downloaded Live Writer and are slightly familiar with it, if not don’t worry it’s not hard and it’s free).
- When in Live Writer, insert a photo into your post, then select/click on it to bring up the “Picture” ribbon.

I try to keep things positive around here, but every once in awhile I let myself rant. Today I’m ranting about Internet Explorer. That browser drives me crazy and likes to make my online life harder than it needs to be. I broke up with IE a long time ago and good riddance, I say. Still so many people still use it that I can not be completely free of it. I use it at work and I use it to check that this blog is working appropriately for those of you still on IE. I say “still” because my hope is that someday you will explore your browsing options and move on.
This is not my actual rant, my anti-IE-rant is at Aiming Low. Please stop by and give it a read. I am not a techie by any means, but I don’t think you need to be a techie to see the flaws in IE.

Things will be looking a little wonky around here the next couple of days. This blog is a DIY project for me that I get to do when my 3 year-old and 1 year-old aren’t in desperate need of me.
Doing it all on my own is great because I get to learn a bunch of technical stuff that I would otherwise be oblivious to. Doing it all on my own sucks because sometimes even though I’m very careful, I mess up something that was working just fine and I have no one to blame but myself.
Last night, I thought I would play around with a plugin that was supposed to wow you with my fabulous content; instead, I somehow broke the functionality of certain parts of my theme. I was so mad that I fired myself, then I realized nothing would get done without me so I hired myself back, but I’m on probation.
All this to say, forgive appearances while I clean up my mess! You are still welcome to come over, but things won’t be tidy. You may bump your toes on some widgets as I move them around.
*Update: It’s fixed until I break it again.
And now your Friday Fortune Cookie
(don’t forget to add “in bed” at the end, if you are so inclined):
Embrace change; it’s bound to happen.
