A long time ago my friend Taryn told me about a program to use when blogging that made the picture uploading portion easier. I thought it sounded great, but never took the time to check it out.
Lately though I just cannot find any blogging mojo, and it’s the process of selecting, editing, and uploading pictures that really holds me back. So last night I remembered her advice and searched through my email archives. I found her email from 2008 (seriously) and checked out the program (Microsoft Live Writer).
She was not kidding! It makes blogging so much easier for me! I had to take my car in for a service this morning and I brought along my computer. I was able to write three posts while I waited and then publish them when I got home. Taryn, you probably use something even better these days, but I'm happy enough just to have found this way (Blogger never works for me for some reason).
The downside is that it publishes the pictures a little smaller than I would like, but if you click on them, they will open up larger.
When asked about it, Parker and Sarah Ellen were shocked that it took me so long to take Taryn’s good advice:
And then they laughed at me for being such a fool.
Oh well. At least I finally figured it out and perhaps now I can be a better blogger and catch up on the 50 or so posts that I have neglected to write!
By the way, those pictures are from a recent dinner the boys and I had with Taryn and the girls when the Dads went to see a concert together. The “littles” tired of playing with the “bigs” and came to entertain Taryn and me.

Yay, Livewriter has improved even more since then. The 2011 is even easier. Bring your laptop next time you are over and I can help you with the picture size.
