Testing ScribeFire

Okay, this is my second attempt at using this new software from Mozilla Firefox {the best web browser around} and so far I'm not so sure about it. First let me tell you about the software. It's called ScribeFire and it allows you to post to your blog without signing in. You just click on this little icon on the bottom of your browser and you can start posting. It has the options of posting to many blogs at one time or selecting which ones you post to. Which, if you are someone with more than one blog may come in handy. It also has the nifty strikethrough option for your font, which I've wanted to use before but didn't know how because I'm not up on HTML lingo. But I've come across a couple of snags. The first is I can only upload photos from a URL and not my files. I know, I know - I'm probably one of the last people to not use a photo hosting site like flicker, photo bucket, rock you or one of the many others out there I'm sure. But in my defense I've had my digital camera for all of about 6 months now. And I do have an account with photo bucket, just haven't started using it yet. The second snag is I'm not sure if the 'categories' I can create transfer over into my 'labels' - we'll see after I post this. So I guess this is sort of a test run. And I'll have to put up a picture another time. I wasn't really in the mood to blog, don't have a lot to talk about but I wanted to try this out. So now I have and I can go do other stuff like clean my son's room, start the overhaul on mine, organize a closet, organize some cabinets, and write up my sister's bridal shower invitations. Yesterday I got my laundry back under control and I've been keeping up on my dishes so it's nice to have that done. Oh and with as much as Lydia is crawling around lately I'm sweeping the floors like 10 times a day. She is all over the place & fast too. It's still not the crawling on all fours but her army crawl gets her around. I think she'll start pulling herself up on stuff soon. I'm hoping to post photos of the house next week. By then I should have our room done & the kids' rooms finished. Okay, well I'll post and test it out now.



Update: It worked! The categories that I made on ScribeFire are the same as my labels on blogger and the information did transfer over. Whew, after all the computer trouble I've had last night and this morning I didn't think it would work. Now I can say that I recommend using this program. I also recommend getting an account at a photo hosting site so you can still post photos. I'll have to get my photos over there so I can put some up. Or just go back into the blogger page & edit the post and add them in.

Hi Rebecca, thanks for the heads-up on ScribeFire. It's just what I'm looking for. Isn't it amazing how the right thing just comes along when you need it. All the best.
