I have not posted in a while, but thanks to the Everyday Matters group, I have been drawing almost daily. Now I’m playing around with Flickr to see if this feature will work. You’re supposed to be able to e-mail a photo to your blog and to Flickr simultaneously. Here goes! Well… A lot of things went wrong, and the way the post looks now is the result of a few edits. Flickr inserts a div tag and floats the image to the right. The body of the post was chopped up, probably due to the line breaks in Yahoo e-mail. Yes, I tried it from there, the worst possible scenario, just to see if it would work at all. But the most unforgivable thing Flickr does is to put a black border around the picture, with no way to remove it save for going to the HTML after the fact. Now if I had a digital camera and was running around snapping pictures all the time and posting from on a daily basis, or posting from wi-fi hot spots, I’d probably care about this more. But since I only post every couple of weeks at best, doing it from home with Ecto is still the best way for me to blog. Still, I like to try out these features and play “what if.”

Moleskinerie, a site for fans of the Molieskine, that “legendary notebook,” today posted a recent entry from Thread Colors. Thank you!
