Punished for my infidelity
Lately (well, the procrastinator's lately which translates to "for the last six months or so" in real time) I've been flirting with the idea of moving my journaling space to a forum more appropriate for a bona fide blog. LJ has various limitations, one of the most significant being the community stigma. I enjoy having a one-stop-catch-up friend list, so I didn't think I'd completely vacate the premises; I've just been looking to branch out.
Movable Type and Blogger have been the front runners with various WYSIWYG applications pulling up the rear. I've spent the most time with iWeb, which Apple introduced last fall. While I don't enjoy the limitations of its strict template structure, I thought I'd finally decided it would do the trick. It's so integrated with all of my media applications that it's the laziest if not the best choice.
Tonight I spent a few good hours working on transferring my entries, crafting welcome and profile pages, and adding supporting photo and movie pages into the mix. I even wove the whole thing together with image anchored hyperlinks. Really, it was quite nice. You would have loved it.
Would. Have. I'd be linking you to it right now if one undo/redo keystroke combo didn't manage to knockout the whole application and wipe out all of my work. It's just gone. There's no reason for unexpected quitting from an application that's supposed to be tailored to my system. None.
Gah.
It could be a while until I get a good wind of focus and decisiveness like that again, so I guess I'll be sticking around. Frank, I pathetically wave a little white flag in your general direction.
