I have been using Open Live Writer, since it was Windows Live Writer. I like it, and it feels pretty easy to write what I want. I am about to setup my 9 year old to do some writing on a blog (not this one). Here is a short tutorial for using Word. From the… Continue reading Blogging With Word

Jetpack has some stuff
I don’t do a lot with my blog. My posts come at a rate of about 10 per year it seems. I think I have had this blog going for a little more than 18 years. I have about 183 posts (before this one), but they haven’t come at a consistent interval. It should be… Continue reading Jetpack has some stuff
Another Blog?
This Blog runs on WordPress installed on a Windows Server that runs in Azure. There are obviously cheaper and easier (probably?) places to run a WordPress blog. But I work in a Microsoft centric environment and I work in Azure (a lot) and doing it this way allows me to tinker and test things. I… Continue reading Another Blog?
Revisiting my Blog
I have spent a decent amount of time over the years, trying to convince myself to spend some time on my blog. I have updated the OS of the VM that runs it. I have migrated from whatever platform I started on (I think I had two different ones going at one point.) I have… Continue reading Revisiting my Blog
Not quite yet…
So the other day I said that I was moving this blog to Azure. I have tinkered with that, and am actually making a little progress. (This happens when you put little effort/time into something). I decided to bring it back up where it was in order to do an easier transfer of the image… Continue reading Not quite yet…
Migrating to Azure
So, at the time of this writing, my blog is down. If you are reading this, then I must have succeeded in migrating it to Azure for hosting. If I didn’t succeed, maybe I will be the only one who reads this. I am an “on again/ off again” blogger, so anything is possible. I… Continue reading Migrating to Azure
Open Live Writer
Since it first came out, I have been a fan of what was “Windows Live Writer”. It was probably one of the simplest, and friendliest tools that came from Microsoft in the Windows Live time frame (in my opinion). I recall coming across something a while back that reference an update to Live Writer, and… Continue reading Open Live Writer
2015 Blog Report
Well, I didn’t hit the number I was hoping to hit. I made it to 162, and I was hoping to make it to 175. Maybe by the end of 2016? Since this is a WordPress site and I use Jetpack here is a nice little report provided with no effort on my part: http://jetpack.me/annual-report/6842850/2015/
Windows Live Writer fails to open
I use Windows Live Writer to create most of the posts for my Blog(s). I recently updated to the latest version and I do think it is a good product, and seems to work very well with my WordPress blogs. (I contribute to 3, but this is the main one.) I have occasionally had trouble… Continue reading Windows Live Writer fails to open
WordPress speed – take 2
So after I followed Patrick’s advice, it seemed like we had everything working better(?) but then again, it was only faster sometimes… After doing some tinkering and comparing between 4 different people, 2 of us with slow performance and 2 with normal performance, I stumbled on the answer… Patrick and I both had the “wassup”… Continue reading WordPress speed – take 2
