... or is Townhall.com's blog editing software unwieldy?
I have really struggled to be able to get the format for my posts the way that I want it. It seems if I write them using the web-based editor there are some sorts of glitches that make it difficult to change fonts, font colors, and other formatting elements. Frequently I'll select a section of text to format, apply the format change, then be left with a blank spot where my text was. Frustrating and unsatisfactory.
If I try to us MS Word 2007 I am unable to post because of the way that Word formats the HTML. Grrrrrr! Even using the "Paste from Word" functions, problems persist.
So here are my questions:
1) Is there something about Townhall.com's editing tool that I'm missing that if I knew about it the job of formatting my text the way I want it to be formatted would be made easier?
2) Is there some better tool to use to write my postings then transfer them to Townhall.com in my preferred format without all the hassles?
3) Is there some blog hosting site that I should consider moving to? (This is probably the least desirable option. I like Townhall.com and would prefer to continue to post in an environment that is not hostile to my views.)
Help! I'm just about frustrated enough to quit blogging!
