Long gaps just mean my attention was elsewhere!

Okay, I know… blogs aren’t supposed to have such long gaps between entries like this. Mea culpa.

And I won’t bother to list all the things that have distracted me from adding content for more than 16 months. Suffice to say I haven’t been sitting idle. Instead, I’ll just pretend that I’ve been diligent and continue on.

As I was setting things up for a remake of Katharine’s web site this past week, it banged into some familiar brick walls with limitations in the Blogger interface. I detest having inch and foot symbols used instead of proper typographic apostrophe and quotation symbols, but Blogger’s post editor is unable to convert them on the fly. Right; that’s why we used Windows LiveWriter for composing our blog posts while travelling in 2010.

So, I installed LiveWriter on both our systems—and our posts can now be typed with the preferred symbols.
