Created a Trigger for Belltower

To avoid confusion with the other Famous Grazing blogs, we've created a
custom Ping.fm "trigger."

If we understand the instructions, then  this entry should go solely to
Belltowernews.com and its backup blogger site at
Rye Cake.

I Tried, I Really Did.


When I attempted to post a photo inside an email to ping.fm so that it would appear in only a Blog entry in Belltowernews, using the "trigger" @bl, it didn't work.

For some reason, it posted only this link: 


As well, it posted this link to every service, including Twitter, that we linked to Ping.fm.

It didn't post the picture, I had to go into Blogger.com to manually add it to this entry.  

The bottom line for this morning's effort was, not to try to post photos using Ping.fm but restrict its use, for now, to updates.  It's VERY good at that.

Second Attempt at Posting Picture With Ping.fm

This time we'll post a smaller photo with
constraints.

Or Will this be the Heading?

There is some lack of clarity in the Ping.fm online documentation regarding
blogging via email.  By posting this message solely to
Belltowernews.com that question should be answered for me.

The other question is the embedding of links.  That question will be
answered by the last number of this message.

The final question of the morning is the embedding of pictures:

The original of
this picture was 3008 in width.  I "constrained" it to 300.  In Posterous, the picture would
remain at its default site and center on its own line.  I have set the
picture to be inline to the right. 

In doing all this, I am comparing Posterous with Ping.fm only in the
way email postings are accepted into the blogger.com format.

In other ways, each of the services have their own unique offerings
where having one should not exclude the use of the other. A tools is
best used for the task assigned but can always be used for something
similar, when needed.

Blood pressure lowered with Lavender by Dinah Shore is now upgraded listening to Driving While Blind by ZZ Top-Can't stop tapping my foot!!!

Recently It's Been From Posterous

Now the next few entries will be coming from http://www.ping.fm. With a little exploration you can find so many ways to post information to your blogs, microblogs and social networking sites.

A problem I've not found a way around coming from the Ping.fm Dashboard is no HTML editing. I am sure there is a way around this. If there is, I WILL find it. Or it's back to Liverwriter!!
