Gramblings

Interesting! Blogger has two quite different interfaces: a pop-up interface which you get to by right-clicking on any web page (always assuming you've sold your soul to Microcruft of course, and you're running IE5); and a more elaborate interface which you get to by logging into to Blogger. The pop-up interface is too bare for me - I prefer to have some sort of tool for adding a new link so I don't fat-finger something and turn the whole page into a link. The other interface is nice, with tools for links, bold and so on, and a split screen where you can see the current content in the lower window, and type new content into the upper window, but you lose the ability to directly grab the URL you were looking at.

As you can see by comparing this to the other version of Gramblings, the "big" interface encourages far more wordiness, at least in someone susceptible like me.

Anyway, the link that triggered this exercise is Library Official Promotes Gambling Literacy, which I found at Librarian.Net. A wonderful example of thinking globally and acting locally.
