Wooden Bowl's Blog at VashonGreen.org

Blog0Matic Workshop

webmaster@vashongreen.org — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:00:16 GMT

For all you who love to write, why have your prose and announcements disappear as soon as they are emailed out? Inaccessible by Google and other search engines and unavailable to new members, our discussion list is not archived. On the other hand you can start your own blog and then more easily sort, filter and refer others back to your previous musings.

You too can scratch your blog itch by attending a 60-90 minute course on blogging to www.VashonGreen.org. Time and location are to be determined, but soon! You'll need a PC laptop (ideally), a bit of text or two to post, and for extra bonus points a photo or other graphic.

Windows Live Writer - WYSIWYG Blog Editor

webmaster@vashongreen.org — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 06:07:18 GMT

CAVEAT 1 - ONLY applicable if you already have set up your blog! (If not, see this entry.)
CAVEAT 2 - ONLY applicable for computers running Windows XP or Vista.

Well, if you are new to creating a blog you may wish to defer this for a bit, but sooner or later I think you'll come to appreciate being able to see how your blog will appear - as you are writing it! Install Windows Live Writer, and you'll be able to do just that.

To do so, click on this link (http://writer.live.com), push the "Get it free" button,

Then push the resulting "Run" button.

Clear the "extras", and click "Install".

When done it'll bring up http://home.live.com in a web page. Close it, then continue through the installation dialogs:

Enter your username and password that you use to log on to www.VashonGreen.org.

Select Metaweblog API from the list of weblog protocols and then enter http://vashongreen.org/metapost.ashx.

Allow Writer to create a temporary post.

...and you are done!

Windows Live Writer should start, and provide easy, visual editing with spell check, easy image insertion, and much more.

Enjoy!
