Back in May I watched one of Terry White’s Podcasts on Contribute CS3 which showed how you can use Contribute CS3 to update your blog. So decided to sit down and figure out how that works…

The first attempt was interesting as I had a new blog entry all done up and posted and then noticed that the date was wrong on the entry – started playing around with that and somehow managed to delete the post… GRR… Even more interesting is a few hours later it showed up again…. very odd…

Some interesting little bugs I came across… there is a BlogHub.csi file in the App Data section of the users local settings that has to be edited to allow photos wider than a 150px photo (it has a height/width limiter in the file)… also had to set up a new directory on the server for uploads and adjust permissions so WordPress and Contribute can upload photos…

(more…)

I’m slowly figuring out the css and coding for wordpress and so the page is starting to look a bit better…

Here is a screen shot from IE7 taken just before this post was made.

Unfortunately it seems it is broken in Firefox… Now to figure that issue out…

I’m going to attempt a wordpress blog – still trying to figure this thing out… The first foray into the blog I managed to delete half of the required files and had to start over… hopefully things will go a bit smoother this time….
