Hold Your Horses!

"TEST POST" is now a review of the whole process. If on Blogger, you want it...

This is just a test post. I had no idea Blogger was gonna make me create a new account to make a new blog. I hope to heck I can transfer old stuff easily!

[actually next day] Also testing at sec whether I need certain tags, or if this'll wrap the graphic without me. I hope the latter true. If not and watching, send me the rules again for "nowrap", okay? You'll read what you love a lot faster...

[actually day after] But while I'm here (you KNOW I don't shut up if you know me), let me state this transition SUCKS, and bad timing:

[WAIT! before I go there--is this color too bothering if reading at length? I can make it more soothing--I'm on a Mac, and Mac and PC output is different. It's bugging me right now; I build toward PC, but if it's bugging you too, PLEASE SPEAK UP!!!)

1. I was about to use Blogger to use as my "posting tool" to the usual website. I highly recommend (FREE for you people who know how to install and work with basic Perl software) Coranto; it's everything you want, nothing you don't, with option to install lots of third-party plug-ins you may/may not need to make it even easier. I said similar on all script websites.
   
   [I wouldn't have spent the time setting up, ahead of time, my "nagivation" through topics on Blogger, if I knew I couldn't repeat it visually with the interface I built for it. I'm PISSED OFF.]
   
   I'm real, real sorry the original company is bankrupt and doesn't support it. It's real, real good, if you're a developer. Like off the bat, for FREE, you can do things like expire a story within X days else X posts and all pages are flat HTML (searchable) and generated on fly; you can break pages of longer stories automatically with a plugin (but never have to install, thus save server space); honestly, if you're reading this and understand WTF I'm talking about and wanna run it on your site, not third party, go get Coranto. It'll do this and more, free.
   
   
2. Okay, Part Two of that disguised bitch was I trying to decide between using Coranto as a publishing tool (installed on MY server and changeable), else using Blogger, which does have it's advantages (like instant Google publish).
   
   But I'm SORELY upset the new version of Blogger doesn't accept basic HTML change. Like look at this (I did it): http://dvo4txag.blogspot.com/
   
   Like, look, that's BASIC HTML. I made it look, feel, and work with the rest of the real website (http://vanosfortexasag.com) like you'd never left it.

Sorry, doth protest, right now. I should NOT have to have more than basic (you're asking for way way way more than basic right now) web programming skills to do the same with the "upgrade". You're forcing me to learn a new language (NOT html--xml you KNOW it's pickier); else be damned to your fucking templates, with my salt of html here and there. I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

I could NOT, right now, under the "new and improved", possibly do the same quality with my knowledge. Look, I argue: I shouldn't have to. Fuck it. One of my mottos is, "work smarter, not harder." You're making it HARDER. I hate you right now.

Yeah, maybe I should know XML and shut up. MAYBE I HAVE OTHER INTERESTS. Look, I don't wanna learn it cuz I'm also a wife, painter, activist, gardener, live music promoter, yes, professionally a graphic designer; like look, you're making it TOO HARD for someone with ABOVE html knowledge to do a professional job with you.

YOU'RE DROPPED, period, for any professional consideration I give. I used to recommend to dumbasses and would do templates for them (as above) but no longer.

LAST ARGUMENT: When the internet is filled with idiots, why do you push em? I mean, when you squeeze out those of us that give a shit and can make it work, but then give that power only to the "engineers" (and I love you, but you have no design sense), you don't think your own product's gonna go to SHIT cuz it WILL cuz it need REAL LIFE PEOPLE TO SUPPORT IT.

Wow. That's a test spaz?!?!

TO MY FANS ONLY: Like I just re-read that, and can't believe. You'll LOVE the next one, if you liked that at all. That was SHIT. Come on. And not planned.

But to true fans, definite on-the-fly spaz process in action. So eat it. Suck it. But please, tell me about it. (if you're not a fan don't bother; that wasn't for you--this isn't porn and never will be).

Sorry but I know I'm on a certain channel now. Weird. Wait. I'm gonna cut half this and switch!
