A Note About This Blog

If it seems like it takes me a long time to make these posts, it is because the interface for posting is maddening!!! It will only take five pictures at a time and once you have added them you cannot move them around within the post so they must be in the order that you want.

And after you've chosen your five pictures it takes 5 to 10 minutes for them to load and then sometimes they don't load and you have no choice but to start over.

So before you make a post you must know which pictures you want and in which order and if you have more than five you have to do them in batches starting at the bottom and there is a good chance it will fail at some point and you will have to start over from the beginning.

And beyond that, once you have everything there it randomly refuses to honor the spacing the you've entered. So some of the paragraphs and/or pictures have no blank line between them. And if you go back and edit, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Until now I have just persisted and changed and saved it over and over until it finally worked but I have no patience left for that now. My need for everything to be spaced correctly has been overpowered by my need not to spend 15 minutes trying to put a blank line between two photos...

It took me almost two hours to finish the previous post this afternoon. And that is without fooling with the spacing problem.

So anyway....I'm not just being lazy. :)
