While the apparently is nice and all it has some whopper issues.. I have to highlight text to link but I can't get it to highlight the just the text I want then scroll up to select link. The text manipulation has to be thought of ahead of time for the same reason. Inline pictures are a no go, all go to the end. And finally it won't let me use HTML tags to do the manipulations myself. Google you've got some work to do! My software engineer husband is less than impressed and so am I.
Taking off those rose colored glasses when it comes to homesteading and living off-grid...

Hallelujah! A blogger app for my phone!
I have been watching for a blogger app to make posting easier.. and finally it's available! I think it was actually available awhile ago but I'm so busy I haven't checked for awhile. So hopefully this will make it easier.. it'll certainly make adding pictures easier.

Sometimes I feel like I have dial up
I am an internet junkie... or at least I was until about a year and a half ago when we moved onto this 70ish acres here in Kansas. Then I went from having high speed internet to... nothing. Absolutely nothing. Except a cellphone that I could only use internet on if I had wifi access. Rough. Horribly rough. Now I still primarily use a cellphone but I at least can sit on the homestead and use the internet. Lol
My parents nicknamed me Green Acres. Cell service is pretty awful out here so I often found myself in strange places trying to get uninterrupted service just to make a phone call. My favorite being sitting on a pipe gate facing a specific direction staring into the heart of a honey locust tree. I later found a location where I could stand and talk but I HAD to stand. So what changed? I switched cell service from T-Mobile to Virgin Mobile. I dropped my phone in a mud puddle and it was decided that we might as well change providers to see if there was a difference ... there was.
Unfortunately 3G sometimes doesn't feel any better than dial up. And I do know dial up. Grew up with it. Frankly my parents still have it. But I don't even have a land line to get dial up. So cellphone it is.
Computer wise we have a laptop that we tether using the cellphone. Works pretty well and has saved us money as there is no need to go to town for internet usage.
Now I get to look forward to "throttling" yuck! As if it couldn't get any slower...
