NOTE: MORE DETAIL THAN YOU PROBABLY WANT OR NEED
To be sure we receive your comment, click on one of the options below the box in which you entered your comment. Then type in the letters that you see in the weird script in the most obvious place - the "word verification" box. THEN CLICK ON "LOG IN AND PUBLISH" - DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE "LOG-IN" PART. You do NOT need to have a Blogger account to leave a comment. If you wish to comment anonymously, click in the circle to the left of that option. If you want to avoid getting a Blogger account, but want to indicate who you are, add your name and contact info WITHIN your "comment" and then choose the "anonymous" option.
I hope you will recommend some of your favorite "free" or almost free items.... Thanks, Steve Gilbert
ReplyDeleteOne way that I look at this sort of favorites list is by considering the list of software programs that I make sure to install on any new computer. I have my list of "stuff" that I install right away when I get a new machine. I guess that's part of what I consider "my favorite things."
ReplyDeleteA new/recent favorite is Windows Live Writer, located at http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/. You download this program to your computer, compose blog postings in it, and then publish the posting on your blog.
It offers a WYSIWYG interface that allows easy insertion of images, including Windows Live maps. After less than a minute for configuration so that it interfaces with your blog, it's simple, easy, and pleasurable to compose a blog posting and publish to your blog. You can do HTML editing if you'd like - and sometimes I *do* like!
It's a free download. I've put it on all my computers. I'd rather compose in Windows Live Writer than in my blog editor. It will also upload any images you include to a folder on the web - thereby eliminating a separate step.
So, that's another of my favorite, and free, things!
