(Text version of the handwriting above)

My productivity has been horrible lately. I have so many things to do but I seem to be procrastinating on all of them.

Finances have been really tight again so my focus has been on creating cash flow. That’s one of the hardest things about working for yourself in a home based business: cash flow can be really sporadic.

Both W and I have been working really hard this past month to create more stable and consistent income streams. We were making excellent progress for awhile there too, but things have slowed down again.

So I’ve been brainstorming new writing projects again. I’m almost finished with a new booklet that I’ll be selling online, and I think I’ll have to create more article packages soon too. I’m also working on selling more of my pictures.

Haven’t had time to take new pictures in weeks either And I still haven’t caught us up enough to get the truck fixed. That really bugs me.

I’m working on fixing some bad habits though, and as I get those replaced with better habits, things should start looking better.

Tanque Verde Falls - Fresh water at the lower falls. It’s rare to find water, but best chances used to be around February of each year.

So after quite a bit of trial

and error today, I think

I can live with this

setup for awhile. At the very

least I plan to give it a

fair chance

I suspect I won’t be

able to resist trying this in

One Note at some point

though. If I’m willing.

to do the manual uploading

then I could make it work.

For now though, I’m using

Live Writer with the Ink

Bogging plugin.

I’ll have to be careful

about the length of posts

though, or sacrifice having

the text translation on the

site.

I spent the whole day

playing with this and I

still haven’t gotten around

to trying putting a photo

in my post…

oh-yeah… and I forgot

to alternate my colors too.

I do that in my one Note

journal section when I’m

changing topics.

Well I just discovered

I can’t break my written

text into chunks

I don’t Know if this

is caused by Live Writer

or the Ink blog plugin.

I wrote a post in

three sections so I’d be

able to have the typed

text version showing at

the bottom of each section.

If I write too much at

once, the Ink blog plugin

comes up blank when I

tell it to recognize the text.

But separating the post into

3 chunks resulted in The

last chunk being posted

3 times

So I’m trying Live Writer

for the first time today.

I wanted to be able to

handwrite my blog using

the writing functionality I

use every day on my tablet

pc.

I’d rather use One Note

for this because I use

that tool constantly every

day. It won’t do any

blogging unless you have

Microsoft Word installed

though, so I decided to

try this and see how

it goes.

Overall I like the

software. I’m really

surprised though - and

disappointed- that it

doesn’t have inking capabilities

I thought MS was gung

ho about putting tablet and pen

functionality into everything

So the Ink blog plugin

Seems to have a few

problems for me so far:

- Can’t seem to translate

large blocks of text

-Won’t save my pen

& background editing settings

-Adds itself all over

the backend html

- Won’t let me make

the writing window

larger.

OK now I’m trying this same

post for a third time

The first time I discovered the

Ink blog plugin can’t handle

translating large amounts of text.

ok so I’m testing some

thing new today. Playing

mainly but I wanted to see

how well this actually works

I’m using Windows

Live Writer with the Ink

Blog plugin. Really wish

I could use One Note

instead but apparently I

can’t unless I also have

MS Word.

Seems odd that I

Cant send to Live Writer

from One Note though…
