NANCY and BILL: Huntington Beach, Part 1 - Monday

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))

Be careful ... don't look up ;o))

Sanderling just clamming around!!

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!!!

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.

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!

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.

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. :-))

I'm having problems commenting on your blog so I'm trying a different way. DOn't want you to think I've stopped reading the Enternal Teenagers blog!

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))

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!
