My wife's blogging

So, Beth has decided to start blogging.  She's quite good at it: she has a great voice and with the new camera her camera skills and eye are really helping out.  I've been helping out on the technical side, and snapping the occasional picture of her baking endeavors.

But there was a problem she's been having that has vexed the living hell out of us.  It seems Blogger's new post editor is really screwing with her line breaks.  I got sucked into the problem last night, and it frustrated the crap out of me, too.  What she was typing on screen did come through in the preview; it would smoosh all the lines together so a line return like this

was showing up like this
and so it went through the whole blog.  And when she added pictures - it all just got worse.

And there was another problem with the pictures - she's been complaining that they aren't the right size.  The new photo handler wants to make everything smaller - so even the large size in Blogger is smaller than what she uploaded to Picasa.


Seriously, she's been thinking of booting the whole thing.  She kinda likes some of the features of Picasa, but has really been eying up Flickr, attracted by the community aspect of it.  And there was the Wordpress movement a few months ago that has resurfaced.  The only thing that kept her with Blogger/Picasa was that it was fairly easy and seamless to post, handle pictures and then pull them in.  Well, not so much anymore.

So, this is in part a test to see if I can figure out what the issue is.....
