Huntington Beach, Part 1 - Monday - May 16, 2011

Nancy here:  I am trying to learn to use Live Writer to enter our blogs.  I am hoping it will make uploading photos easier!!  I have taken many wonderful wildlife photos in the last couple weeks at Huntington Beach State Park and thought they would provide a good way to check out Live Writer vs. Blogger for photos.  So if you love photos, especially of nature, hang around for the next 3 blogs ;o))

Well, I found uploading photos much easier in Live Writer.  It allowed me to do all of them at one time. :o)) Not nearly as easy in Blogger. Still need to learn how to set placement and text??  I posted this blog to Blogger as a draft and then did the text spacing and font adjustments within Blogger.  It will take time to figure it all out, but I am very pleased with the photo upload performance of Live Writer!!!

  1. Very nice pictures. I have to learn Live Writer as well. I have it on my laptop, but use my netbook more often, which doesn't have Windows 7 on it.

  2. I've used Live Writer for my blog from the beginning. I figure if I can do it, anyone can. Nice photos. Wish we were there!

  3. Great pictures! We still use Blogger. We thought about Live Writer, but we have a Mac, and it does not work on a Mac. Enjoy the learning curve.

  5. Love the lump in your throat. Looks like you did a great job. I'm seriously thinking about always doing my text in blogger so I can have my font of choice.

    But we'll see, I'm DETERMINED to get caught up to today so I posted 3 yesterday and I'm posting 3 tomorrow. Folks probably won't want to read that much but they are my memories and I'm tired of being behind. :-))

  7. Paul and Marti...
    Are you back to sniffing those paint fumes again??

    If not, perhaps it is the residual affect of the aliens and the time machine ;o)) Our blog isn't quite sure who you are!!!

    Regardless, always glad to know you are out there:o))

  8. I think I might just try it out as well. I always seem to have trouble uploading pictures...they seem to have a mind of their own in blogger! Thanks for giving me the idea!
