blogging troubles
Why is it that the Flock browser used to be awesome for doing blog entries and now it sucks? I used it for all of my photo-heavy posts about the anniversary trip, and it worked fabulously with Rich Text mode. Want a photo right there? Just go to the Flickr page and drag the picture over to the blog window. Quick and easy. Once it was there, I could change the size to what I wanted or move it around. Something's changed now. I try to drag a picture from Flickr and all I get is a box on the photo for adding a note. I try to drag from the "All Sizes" page on Flickr and it takes my blog window to the picture link. I hit "back" and I've lost my entire post so far. Because I was editing an existing entry that I started through Flickr's blogging link, it didn't autosave. So apparently, my only option for adding dragging pictures into the post is the media stream section that runs along the top. In theory, it's not a bad system: you can set it to your entire photo stream or an individual photo set. In past practice, however, the media stream has been problematic. The order in which the photos appear has been wonky, making things impossible to find, or the stream becomes inaccessible as you scroll too far back. Maybe they've fixed that problem now? In any case, I'm annoyed. And apparently, I'm going to have to start my post over again.
