Back Again

Filed under: Blogging — William_T_Goodall @ 15:50

Got around to fixing the blog finally. Still have some maintenance to do before I can start adding new content. It’s been over five years since the last post here and I shall probably be taking this in a new direction when I do resume.

MacJournal

Filed under: Blogging,IT — William_T_Goodall @ 10:25

As I previously mentioned I switched to using MacJournal for blogging as my previous blogging software ecto hadn’t been updated to use the new Photo software and so I could no longer post pictures easily. I did have a problem including html tags to interact with plugins such as the obfuscated text plugin used for the previous post. But an email to their support system soon gave me a response that solved the problem and now the software does everything I need.
