I bet you've noticed that my blog has a new look. I followed some instructions I found on a blog through Google to make it have three columns. I like how that turned out. Also, I've been using a new program to make posts: Windows Live Writer. Click HERE to read more about it and download it for free. You do have to sign up for a live account, but it didn’t take long at all.
Windows Live Writer lets you do all kinds of fancy things to your photos (see below for a taste) and it gives you more control over photo alignment (something that drives me crazy about blogger). When you add a photo to your post you can do basic edits, like crop, straighten, add boarder, sepia, black-n-white, ect. I hear that you can also create your posts offline and then have them posted when you get back online. As you can tell from my proliferation of posts, it is fun and easy. I highly suggest it! (oh, all credit for finding this jewel go to my friend Julie!)

No way! I am going to the site and downloading it right now. I can't wait to have more control over how I post, especially now that I have limited time online to write my posts. It will be so great to work offline on posts. Thank You so much for the info Sare!
I hate the photo alignment too. I'm downloading it right now! Thanks!
Hey Sarah,
Question, is there a way to edit the pictures of old posts? Looks to me like an old picture is grayed out and you can't change them. Is there a way that you know about?
Also, do you know what I change to make the actual spot where I post, wider in my blog layout?
Adi,
I haven't tried to edit a previously posted picture, so I'm no help there. Sorry. I bet you could delete the picture and then add it again with WLW. Just an idea, but I haven't tried it yet.
I've switched my blog layout to a 'stretch' template so that my posts are wider (depending on the window in which it is viewed).
