Blogging 2

For example, The Washington Post logo at the top of the page I did not put there. When I looked into the HTML code I didn't see anything related to the black section you sometimes see at the top of the page. I did not put this up there. I don't know where it came from but likely it is a fluke of software that has to do with quoting from the Washington Post.

So, I guess if you are a blogger and quote from the Washington Post it might be better to use only a word button instead of quoting the whole article. So, most likely it is a software clash of some kind.

When you are blogging and writing and compiling and quoting various information, remember each thing you quote or compile is written by different people. In other words when they write code each programmer's style is different, so each page of code written by a different person is going to react differently when you quote it at your site. Because someone else wrote the blogging software you are using to do all this with.

When I blog normally I compose in the "Compose" mode rather than the "HTML" mode. This way it makes it about 100 times more simple to compose whatever I'm doing here at this blogging site.

However, since I'm composing, someone else wrote the code for blogging at blogger.com, someone else writes the code to everything I quote or compile or even a battery of different programmers are writing the basis of various different news outlets not to mention Wikipedia which is a group effort on all levels, you are going to wind up with some pretty strange results.

However, only about 10%to 50% of the time do I have problems where my readers have difficulty reading what I have written, compiled, quoted etc. So, just realize I didn't screw it up the various softwares did it themselves when they interact in various mediums.

Then, on top of this Safari, Google Chrome, Explorer, or Firefox (Firefox I find is my preferable Browser for working at blogger.com over all the others. I also like Google Chrome sometimes because blogger.com is a Google Blogging platform. But, I also have some problems blogging with Google Chrome too. So, at least if you are blogging here at blogger.com I recommend Firefox for quotes and compiling stuff. However, if you are blogging from somewhere else just keep trying different browsers until you find one you like to work with.

They all have very specific advantages and disadvantages depending upon what you are doing. So, maybe try them all if you want to to see which ones you like the best. You will immediately see the differences if you can figure out how to operate them all. There are some basic similarities between them. However, some work better for pictures and videos and others work better for print or quoting.
