So I have my blog up and running again. No big deal as the only person that missed it was me and both of my readers (from now on referred to as BoMR). There are a million hurdles (read that as excuses) to keeping my blog current with interesting content. The biggest hurdle is that I may not have anything interesting to say. Assuming that BoMR really do care what I write, then the other hurdle is finding the opportunity to write. My job is to try to make that as easy as possible. I knew that I did not like WordPress’ post editor (no good reason, just another excuse) and so I was looking for another method to get my posts…um, posted. I have at least two and possibly more laptops that I use on a daily basis and I need to be as spontaneous as possible with the postings so I knew I did not want to download a client to these laptops. I wanted something to be online but allow me the freedom to act at a moment’s notice.
I knew people were successfully using an application called BlogJet so what I did is what I usuall do when I know that a product isn’t free or isn’t precisely what I am looking for; I do a Google search, in quotes, like this: “Better than BlogJet.” I do this with whatever I am searching for. I found GIMP by searching for “Better than PhotoShop” and am still looking at the eight bajillion results from searching for “Better than Dreamweaver”
Using this sophisticated method of finding free, or open source software, I stumbled upon Performancing for Firefox. I am typing this post in it right now. As I seem to have every Firefox extension invented and not yet invented, I knew this was my tool. It was a trvial matter to get this installed on the various laptops I use.
Having eliminated any possibility of finding excuses not to write, I am poised, fingertips hovering over the keyboard to wtrite my twice a year post.
For BoMR, the posts will go something like this: Bush Sucks or There is no God. Then someone will comment with an even pithier reply, “You Suck” or “You don’t believe in god because you have not opened your heart to him.”
Don’t you just love the blogosphere?!
OK, now how do I post this? Oh yes, I see the “Publish to Cafe Leone” button. Here it goes…..
