More Blog Options.
July 6, 2003 in Web/Tech I really love you guys. Why? Because you send me neat ideas all day long.
My favorite over this nice long weekend came from Phillip, who tipped me off to Zempt, yet another alternative way to update your MT blog without actually logging into your MT Main Menu. Why Zempt? Well, for starters I'm adding this entry without being connected to the Internet and having to log in. And I have a Spell Checker, along with other Word-like features (see my screen capture
for a better idea) And I can preview my post just by tabbing over. Fun!
But it's not perfect for a few reasons... I cannot seem to find a way to upload a file (image or otherwise) the way I can inside MT. How annoying! Will someone please let me know if I'm overlooking an incredibly obvious solution? Because if you're a frequent pic poster as I am, this lack of feature is a HUGE drawback!
I'm also having a problem getting my line breaks recognized. For example, I'm adding BR tags between paragraphs to avoid posting a huge block of text that runs together. Lame.
Update: checking out Mike's suggestion- w.bloggar- now.
Update #2: OMG! w.bloggar is the shiiiat! Zempt can't currently compete. I guess I jumped the gun yet again in my quest for a perfect blog experience. It's all a big experiment, kids! And you know what? I enjoy testing out similar software, finding flaws, and making software choices based on my findings. Maybe I'm a scientist after all.
I'm wishing I didn't have to go to work tomorrow. I want the weekend to last, and last, and last....(name that commercial)

Certs? Something about breath fresheners...Glad you had a good weekend, but we must all go to work... :) Take care,
Yes?
Right now I'm at a loss for what lasts and lasts... I can hear the voice-over in my head, but can't come up with it, and I don't think it's Certs, I wanna say Extra, but I don't think that's it either...
Dang it Sarah, that's gonna bug me all day!!!
That will be in the next release. Not only will you be able to upload a photo, but you can also create a thumbnail from within Zempt. And it doesn't matter if the pic is on your computer or on the Web. You can copy to your site and create thumbnails either way.
"I'm also having a problem getting my line breaks recognized."
It sounds like you have your text filters set to "none." Go into your preferences and change the text filters of your blog to "Convert Line Breaks."
"OMG! w.bloggar is the shiiiat! Zempt can't currently compete."
Why? I'd love it if you'd explain why you find w.Bloggar better than Zempt. Whatever it is, we'll try and fix it.
One huge advantage that Zempt has is that w.bloggar doesn't allow you to do anything except post a title, single category, and entry text. If you use extended entries, excerpts, and keywords, you're out of luck.
Zempt also lets you send trackback pings, close comments, set text filters, and change the date and time of your entries.
If you published a post with the text filter set to None, then changing the default prefrences won't change that individual post. You'll need to edit the post and change the filter there.
If that post does have the correct text filter set, then there's something wrong with MT. Once we set the filter, we rely on MT to convert the line breaks for us.
My first blog will be a blog on "Why do people love blogs?"
`,:o) My why do I feel compelled to read this blog still?
Sarah, so what about your hand in marriage?
