ZENABOWLI'S ART SPACE

This is an attempt to develop a consistent look to my blog postings here at Windows Live Space. The WYSIWYG thing is always an evolving process of trial and error. For now I am attempting to establish a font style and color to use throughout all blog postings. There is a function that is suppose to read the settings and continue duplication of the settings. So far this has come up short on my expectations. It's probably something I've overlooked.

I'll be linking to Wikipedia, regardless of it's rep for unreliability, for links that require unspecific information. Use common sense is always a sound approach. Wiki has always been a good place to get a foot hold on any topic and ,usually, will link to reliable authorities on most topics. As usual these postings are still a journal for myself and anyone interested in getting a close look at an evolving process when learning to adapt to a new artistic medium. Any comments are welcome.

So... after being dormant and not posting any blogs for sometime now. Windows Live Writer wasn't in the mood to cooperate. After doing some investigation I ended up downloading and installing the latest version of Net Framework 3.5 and now this post will be a demonstration of it's function and compatibility. Apparently Net Framework comes standard with the Vista operating system and needs to be installed as and add on in the XP operating system and older. Even as a novice blog writer, I am satisfied that Windows Live Writer will be a useful tool for some time as my blogging skills evolve. Until next time, I still would enjoy any comments or insite that any one would like to share. 

This is a trial posting using Windows Live Writer. As in the earlier postings this is still an experimental process. At this stage of writing blog entries, there is still a lot of learning  going on. Future postings will have a clear intent and purpose. For now I am merely leaving a "trail of bread crumbs" so to speak as a future reference to the beginning of an experimental and evolving process. In the last several months I have been exploring and learning to understand the world of blogging. There seems to be a wide range of  economic and social  opportunities out there. Some of what i have encountered has been quite fruitful and helpful. Yet, one should be aware that there are a lot of hucksters and spammers out there. Be vigilant and cognizant of what you come across. All in all, this has been a refreshing adventure, where as I have meet many a fine strangers from around the world. There is a dynamic quality that comes from new adventures with unforeseeable possibilities. If any one cares to share any relevant comments on any of this, please do it. In this world if blogging I'm no expert, yet in time who knows. Maybe it's in the fun of becoming.

As part of this experiment I've inserted a computer graphic image made from a photo I took in Yellowstone back in 2004. Live writer has a sidebar with a menu of tools. It was easy to navigate to my files and insert the image, with sizing nodes and crossbar for  moving. The program did insist on putting the image above the text.

To review Live Writer as a tool to make postings easier on Windows Live Space, I would have to say that it was easy to configure and navigate. Although I haven't attempted to post this entry yet. We'll see here in a bit. I just put in the tags. It was easy to position them and the dialogue box was easy to work with. The hyperlink tool seems to be easy and self explanatory with some convenient features. I KNOW, to all you experienced bloggers this is a bit rudimentary, but there are a lot of folks out there just getting there feet wet. Many will have much to offer once they get command of the tools.
