* Screw-ups

You'll notice in the previous post that one website is linked--if you click on it, you'll go right there--while the other is not linked. You'll have to copy it and paste it into an address window to follow it. Why the difference?

The difference is that blogger let me insert one link and, for some reason, would not let me insert the second.... One would like everything to run perfectly, but in the great scheme of things, this is not a big deal. Down a little farther on the blog (there are no bookmarks here, so I can't jump you to the post), I talk about problems with the blogger photo software. I'm still getting a software pop-up first thing every morning, when I fire up my computer. Annoying.

But minor. Major is writing, topics, working up an appetite to post and to shape one's blog. My own blogging at http://www.emcc.edu/faculty/jgoldfine feels forced and tired tonight without the stimulus of students, classes, papers to read. Another night I'll feel differently--a lame post is just a post and can stand without touching me.

Hehe, well, I'm still a blogging n00b and haven't finished reading your blog yet but I thought I could add my 2 pence worth on your linking problems.

Until I started reading your post I hadn't actually noticed the link button on the post form. I usually type in the HTML code manualy (It's safer *grin*).

Try this link for the exact HTML syntax that you need to type to get the link to work.

I usualy add the "Target" bit into my links so that the page comes up in a new window (a feature not supported when adding links in comments unfortunately.)
