Mail 682 Wednesday, July 7, 2011
This is an early attempt to use Mail in Livewriter. I do not know how to do internal links since there seems to be no way to insert a bookmark.
I will attempt to do something using normal word and insert. It probably will not work.

The US House of Representatives Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science approved by voice vote a yearly spending bill that includes no money for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

I will in further essays defend science funding and high technology projects of this sort as a necessary and proper investment: someone has to be looking for the next step in technology, and that’s pretty well up to the government. It needs to be done with some care, and grants and government projects can stifle some research; it is not a simple matter. But this one is worth doing. We need to keep our hand in in space technology until we decide again to be a spacefaring nation.
Comments by me: This was the first attempt to do mail in Livewriter. I cannot find the quote style. I think I am going back to word blog. The links don’t work either. WordBlog was better for this I think because I use internal links a lot.
I was able to bring this into Word in Blog mode, which had no problem finding it although it did not create it. I was able then to use Word in normal non-blog mode to insert a bookmark, and word in blog mode will allow a link to the bookmark. I can now try to publish this and see what happens. Note that this was created in Livewriter. In livewriter. I failed to master inserting anchors and published. I then used Word in Blog Mode to import this and edit it including inserting bookmarks through a not too tedious procedure involving creating them in Word, copying into Word in Blog mode, and hyperlinking in blog mode. It is not as tedious as it sounds. I am now publishing this. I want to see what happens if I try to import it into Livewriter after publishing with Blogmode. Ain’t this all exciting?
Continuing commentary: All right, I was able to publish this from Livewriter; import it into Wordblog; edit it including inserting bookmarks in blog mode; publish in blog mode; update in blog mode; and now import it back into Livewriter. It looks pretty good here, with the problem that I do not know how to invoke the blockquote style. I am assuming that it is easy to find – AHA. I see up with the create bullet list options a button that looks like “” and I betcha that will be the blockwuote style. Let’s see.
And yes that did it. It still doesn’t know what a bookmark is, and there does not seem to be the indent without blockquote which I often use, but this does work. The “” button does it.
