Blogger Frustrations

I've a little extra time to be online today so I'm going through all the stacks of things I have to do and trying to catch up. This is just to warn you that I may have made 20 posts by the end of the day thanks to several interesting email exchanges I've been having with friends and new members of my Yahoo Group. Posting also helps me communicate with more people at once and somewhat assuages the guilt I feel over all of my unanswered emails :)

As I've been attempting to create these posts I have, as is my usual, attempted to place photos with the entries. For some reason blogger is refusing to let me do this. Has anyone else had problems with this? It's been happening for the past couple of days - pretty much ever since they announced that blogger beta was no longer in beta. Ha.

For now I'm having to upload the pictures manually to my website, resize them precisely, and then html code them into the post. Because it's a bit of a pain and also thanks to some other frustrations I have about blogger, I've begun to more strongly consider taking Richard's advice from a few weeks ago and may move my blog to WordPress. Well... I can't move it since I'm using Blogger Beta (if you haven't converted yet I'd again recommend not doing so until they force you to.) I'll just have to stop writing here and start writing them. I started a test blog there the other day and haven't really run into any problems. I thought I'd see if any of you have you tried WordPress and how well did/does it work for you?
