Potpourri for $200, Alex
And there was much rejoicing... I have just successfully transferred the one domain I had left with Network Solutions (back when I was stupid enough to pay them for two years in advance) to another registrar. Hurrah!

If you see something acting funky with any of my secondary pages (like category archives), try resetting your skin. For some reason that seems to fix it. Please let me know if not...

Finally, in my quest to make it "Solonor Friday" around here and also bump up my minion status...the provider of my tiara has blogged about w.bloggar:


w.bloggar is a free application from Marcelo Cabral that tries to make writing blog posts as easy (or as hard) as using Microsoft Word.

The application sits between you and your blog publishing software. It provides a Word-like interface with all the little toolbar buttons for formating text and even has a spell-checker. w.bloggar is compatible with Blogger, b2, Nucleus, BigBlogTool, Blogworks XML, Blogalia, Drupal, and, of course, Movable Type.

So if you hate the Blogger interface...or just want to be a lazy American with any of the other software...there you go.   UPDATE: Bushtit Dot Com has a great w.bloggar review!



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



Robyn- resetting the skin corrected the problems with the category archive for me.

Funny, I just posted something about wBloggar in my blog too. I love it. If only there was a way to use MT's extended entry fields with it, it would be perfect. Hopefully they can add that to a future release.

Funny thing is, the company that hosts my site is the same company that donates the space and resources for w.bloggar. I got to beta test the version you guys are using :-)

just an update...marcelo (the developer of wBloggar) left a comment at my site. he says he is planning to add extended MT entry functionality to the next release. cool.

thanks for the mention, Robyn. we're like, famous or something now. :)

Cool. That was the only thing I've found wrong with it. It's not quite as handy for MT users as for Blogger users, I don't think. Most of the things you'd want to put into a post are easy keystrokes in MT anyway (which w.Bloggar conveniently also uses, which is cool). But I've just scratched the surface with it. Maybe there's more deep down goodness yet to be discovered.

Happy Solonor Friday!
