Looking for a Few Good Outliners Contents [ hide ] What is Outlining? Outlining, the process of making a point and then nesting sub-points under it, seems like a natural non-fiction writing process to me. I tend to do it unconsciously.  What is Mind-Mapping? I know many who don't like outlining and in fact many who detest…

Contents [ hide ] Should your post have a Table of Contents? - Weblog Writer Journey - Day 13 Do long posts need a Table of Contents? Photo by  Sigmund  on  Unsplash I think they do. I've been looking for a Table of Contents to include in longer posts. I will link to an article I am writing about why a Table of Contents is…

The Static Pages Are Displaying The 'pages are displaying' I had to change my code in the Blog1 post loop. I'm not certain why my code did not work. I may post my snippet to stackoverflow.com.  Coding Blogger is not what I want to be doing. Coding challenges are a great puzzle for me.  They suck me in a like a black hole…

I have been posting first in what I call "raw text". It is simply plain text paragraphs. It is a way to get my thoughts on paper as posts. I will later go back and add common formatting elements and graphics.  So, if you are reading a post and it is nothing but text, it is a recent addition to the site and I've not yet…

Slow Progress  (Photo by Jon Tyson on Unsplash)  As I wait for the latest version of Microsoft Office to download onto this newer PC, I thought I'd update readers on how the blog is progressing. I'm making progress. Slow Progress is still progress. The Template I'm not all together happy with the template, but most of my…

I purchased the Sana Premium Theme and then modified it. I am still modifying it. This is not going to a endorsement, or affiliate link.   The "donor" theme. LOL. I've modified it. There really nothing wrong with the theme if you use it out-of-the-box, but I didn't want to. And that is one area where Wordpress will…

Photo by Krzysztof Maksimiuk on Unsplash I continue to struggle with templates for Google Blogger. I've stuck a default 'Google Blogger' template on the site. My main goal was to have a site with a non-Blogger look to it. To those who don't know, it used to be easy to tell sites that were hosted on Google Blogger. Go…

I have vowed to keep my Blogger Template simple. I'm still stymied by a template or theme to use in this blog. This is a thousand mile trip and some days you take more steps than others. I did learn quite a few things even if things are going slowly.  This is likely to be a very non-linear process. Progress has been Slow. (Phot…

Xenu Link Sleuth to the rescue. Xenu   Link   Sleuth   is  my favorite website problem checker. It is  the   best   broken   link  checker   I   have   found.   I   use   it   like   a   website   problem   checker.   I   can   use   it   to   answer   questions   like,   "do   I   have   any   links   that   go   to   websites…

Where are the H2 tags in Blogger?  Where are the H2 tags? HTML has a heading system, like an outline.  The title of the post is H1, and the subpoints are H2.  As far as I know you can have as many h2 tags as you need. Wordpress and Blogger handle it differently.  It is available in Blogger, but disguised.  I didn't. This was a s…

- Photo by Stephen Phillips - Hostreviews.co.uk on Unsplash I bought a theme.  I liked the layout. (Not a Wordpress theme, this is not a Wordpress site.) What I don't like is the lack of step-by-step instructions.  Newbies need more hand-holding. These theme companies could do a much better job for beginners of guiding newbies…

After years of 'lurking', of reading and following niche marketing gurus explain how you too can make big money by placing "tiny little ads" in newspapers, I've decided to create some niche websites.  It's well past time to get in the water. Blogging and me. Me lurking and waiting, not participating Photo b…
