View sort of for Thursday, August 25, 2011
This is a test on Thursday August 25 from my laptop. I had to install LiveWriter and get it set to take care of my web site. Before I could do that I had to buy some time for my AT&T wireless gizmo. Clearly it all worked. Then I could not figure out how to get anything previously posted back into Livewriter for editing. This is a very peculiar experience. Clearly I am away from the Manor just now. The house crew reports that Sable is fine, all is well, and I will have stories: it’s still AT&T which is still The Phone Company when it comes to dealing with them. But that’s for another story.
It looks as if you have to keep local copies of anything you did in LiveWriter – if there’s a way to get them back off the cloud, I don’t know it yet. The problem with the cloud is that it discourages you from making local copies. In any event I didn’t transfer any of them from the home system to this laptop. It’s another adventure.
That turns out not to be the case. Double Click in LiveWriter on the Open Recent Post choice and that opens a new screen of options including downloading the titles of all the stuff on the log, meaning they can be brought back in and edited at need, keeping everything in the cloud until needed.
One of the reasons I started this place was as a daybook, a sort of open log. Over time it sort of lost that function although when I am on the road that returns. I could delete all this but I think I’ll leave it. I am about to write up an AT&T experience as a short BYTE piece. It has been a long, and not particularly productive, day, but some progress has been made. Anyway I am now in control of LiveWriter and my WordPress log book, and I can get back to work on something more interesting.
