w.bloggar - Amazing Blog Tool

http://wbloggar.com
Last week, when I was researching some Blogger hacks, I found this software. Like all new software that I check out, I'm always skeptical. That's mostly because I refer to myself as an "interface whore". I want my software to not only run well, but to make my experience using it intuitive... even *gasp* fun.

I'm glad to say that after only using this for 2 days, I think it's incredible. Mostly, I just love the large screen in which to modify my template, and the way that it color codes the HTML for me. You can even save posts that you're working on locally to .POST files. Sure, it's not a "draft" on the web to be edited from anywhere, but I'm willing to bet that most of us use only one computer for most of our posts, in rare circumstances, maybe two *raising hand*. But a very useful feature if you can't rely on the internet connection to stay alive.

It also has the ability to store multiple "profiles" for all of one's different blogs. I personally will find this very useful since I have this blog, one for my consultancy, planning another for posting family photos, and another for our entire extended family to stay in touch. Being able to switch minds & posts easily will become critical. (At some point, I'll have to post on how much I like to plan things, but the reality & follow through can be lacking. Best laid plans...)

Oh... before I forget, this is also a great way of keeping a backup of your entire blog, without having to deal with e-mailing the posts to yourself, etc. Being a computer nerd, I still believe in backups to e-mail, but it's also nice knowing that I could move my blog & all of it's posts in a matter of minutes.

So, if you're looking to use something with a bit more power, but mostly with helpful enhancements over the web forms of Blogger, you should try this out. Good luck!

Again, if anyone decides to try this out, I have some suggestions for things that are handled by Blogger automatically. So feel free to ask. ;)

HNT - Entry One (2006)

Thorso Originally uploaded by lightnyn . Thigh & torso. Makes sense right? Anyhow, it's a New Year, and therefore a new series of HNT posts. And to wrap up the few from last year, I'll be sure to include an archive message to make finding them easier, although it's not like I had so many that they're hard to find. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think.

HNT - Entry Two

Left Hand & Cell Phone Originally uploaded by lightnyn . Not terribly exciting, but one of the things that my wife simply loves about me. As you can sort of tell, my hands are rough & dry. K says she likes the texture as they rub across her skin, and the way that they seem like hard-working hands. I think she just has a "cowboy" fetish that she hasn't told me about yet. In some ways, I admit to being a bit of a cowboy since I have a natural slightly "bow legged" look, and I'm saving to get some boots. So, in that vein... howdy!

Denouement

Pronunciation Where to start? Ah, that's right. A few months ago, things were dire. And as I was to learn, it was mostly a scare tactic. But let me be clear, and not come across as a total buffoon... it was a necessary scare tactic. I lied to K. And while one instance of that isn't horrendous, it's the pattern that has been woven over the last 10 years of our relationship. If something were to be discovered that I had been hiding, usually something tied to my sexuality or the things that I perceived as being "unusual", my instinct was to lie. Backtrack. Cover up. Find a convincing cover story. Move on. Rinse, repeat. Until of course my intuitive wife would pry the truth out of me, making me feel that I wouldn't be judged. And I wasn't. To say that she's an amazing person falls far short of the truth. Anyhow, this last transgression was her proverbial last straw of just coping with the pattern of my lies. So she called my bluff. And she went al
