Possible fix for Blogger Editor

I have just built up my sons desktop again and found that Microsoft Live now supports Blogger in the ‘Live Writer’ tool.

So here I am trying this out to see if it will sort my pictures out without having to edit the HTML myself.  So far the editor looks like a very cut down Word while giving me the ability to preview and see the source if I want to.

The teaser then (as who wants to know about IT problems at the weekend) is what can youIMG_5202 do with two Coke bottle tops?

Note the rounded corner and left positioning – not sure if the link is correct though as it does not have a URL or anything in the source tab.

Well the upload worked and it stores the picture at http://lh6.ggpht.com – interesting thing is I can now edit this even though it has been published and I started a new post…

My initial impressions are good with only two minor problems:

  • The preview shows the footer from the last post and not an empty blogger one
  • The photo toolkit on the left does not have a scroll bar and with me doing this on a net book, I cannot see the button at the bottom (seems to edit the picture size)

I’ll try the next few posts in this and see how it goes.
