Posting to My "News" Blog

We are a nation of literary lazybones. ... For lots of people, books are the equivalent of silk flowers: nice, low-maintenance decorating accessories. And there are even fake books that are really cool boxes for hiding valuables.

Try books-on-tape. It's like reading without eye-strain. (Andrew Frothingham and Tripp Evans, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, 21 September)

I continued to work on the project to add "labels" to the postings in my "News" blog. It's a very slow process. I found a few obsolete postings that I either deleted or updated. I also uploaded a page about Azor Jefferson Henthorn another about Benella (Norris) Henthorn to this blog. I started getting five more postings ready to upload.

Yesterday I went to the Senior Center to see if I could fix the problem with the course description display. I discovered that the display works on the right hand computer. I couldn't fix the problem on the other machine because I don't know how to display the Control Panel. Oh well!

I put a button link to the Yahoo Henthorn Family site of Elizabeth onto a page in my "News" blog. I think this was the first time I copied HTML code to include in my postings. It worked!

Posting to My Google Blog Via Email

This is a test to see if I can post to my Google Blog using Email. I included another photograph of myself taken in our backyard near the storage shed. I don't know why I don't hold my head straight when I have my picture taken. Some folks have said "it's because you are a little cock-eyed."

The test worked, after a fashion. The text part of the message posted. I tried to include the photograph inside the Email. I noticed afterwards that the photo should be an attachment. I also noticed that the string "#end" should be entered after my message to prevent any AOL Email ads from appearing in my blog.

I updated this entry and removed the empty photo box. I'll post again to test whether I learned everything I need to know about the process.
