My bloggery composition routine(?) has altered somewhat substantially over the years.
I started this blog on Diaryland.com, eventually moved that to Livejournal.com. From there my original LJ became something of a thing for my insane thoughts and I created a different one to be somewhat more reasonable. From there I moved to Blogger. After several years of that, I moved everything to WordPress.
It took a long time, but I was able to pull all (I think) of the DL posts over to LJ. Then I moved it all to Blogger and from there Wordpress. It was somewhat time consuming to get everything moved over and, for lack of a better word, rebranded. But eventually I pulled it off.
As for the actual composition, originally I was using the built in online posting stuff. I tried a few offline clients for LJ, but nothing really ever worked out well for me. Eventually I came across Windows Live Writer and got back into things. That one was discontinued and I switched to Open Live Writer. It never worked as well as I would have liked it to, but that may have been the computer rather than the software. It was nice being able to double post on separate blogs from one app, but I have since basically abandoned the Blogger site in favor of this one. I am now uploading from the WordPress app
But! But! But! I am actually keeping a running log of posts I am working on (outlines, actual posts, just general notes) in a text file in Microsoft Works Word Processor 9.0.
Yes. I said that.
Works 9.0.
Why? Why not! It is a fairly lightweight program, uses an obscure file format, and, frankly, because I like it.
Once I get this done, I will copy and paste it into the WordPress app and set it free! Will I do it today? This one, probably. I have several other entries in this file to finish, and many more ideas, so there will be many posts that end up showing up later than the original dates, but I am posting them based on dates I started to try and keep things in the correct sequential order.
