Google tossers


I was going to post, typed in all the text and then discovered that the shit platform that is Blogger would not allow me to upload pictures.
If I worked for this major multinational company, I would be embarrassed by the continuing lack of functionality in a product which bore the company logo.

  1. OM, dear heart
    I abandoned using Blogger to post years ago in favour of Windows LiveWriter, which is a dream!

    Try it. You'll end up without the taste of desk in your mouth.

    1. I know it makes sense ! "been meaning to get round etc etc"
      Finally bit the bullet and seems great so far.
      Where would i be without you ?

    2. Probably not as lost?
      Well done. We are now expecting great content.
      I wonder if Mr Gates has a solution for that too?

    3. I was hoping that all the features and effects would hide the weakness of the content ?

  2. I agree with Alan - the only problem is that LiveWriter's a windoze thing so if you run Linux or a Mac you're stuffed.

    1. Fortunately (or unfortunately !) I'm with the Evil Empire for my OS.
      Live Writer seems ok so far, but no doubt it will "encounter a problem and have to shut down" at regular intervals like IE.

  3. I've never had a problem with blogger but i've been trying ScribeFire and had a few problems with images. I wonder if it's something to do with the browser that causes the problem.

    1. Could be, Alan. I've tried it with IE and Firefox, but perhaps it's optimised for Chrome (Google) ?
      Even when it is working though, picture handling with the Blogger editor is clumsy and time consuming. So far I have found that with LW this function runs like shit off a hot shovel
