Another Live Writer Test
There are a ton of plug-ins that you can download. The one I am using to the left is called Polaroid Picture. Makes the post look much more presentable than the normal inline images.

A New Blog Editor
I am testing out a new blog editor which, on the surface, may make it to the top of my most popular utilities.

I Am Not Neglecting You!
Really I’m not.
My attention in the past few weeks has turned to another blog. Nope – not giving up on this one so soon but I have another that I have been nurturing. One that is as close to my heart as this personal one.
