Swift follow-up

I just wanted to add my thoughts and feelings about adding images to Snaptophobia, following the marathon effort to get the last post up and running. I ended up cutting and pasting HTML to get the images where I wanted, and edited the published post about six times before I was satisfied.

As I’ve already noted in a couple of previous posts, I have developed a hate–hate relationship with this particular blogging system. Essentially, it seems geared up for one image right at the head of a post, not embedded with comments further down. If that is the case, and in order to preserve my sanity for as long as possible, I expect future posts will be composed in the order that Blogger forces on me.

While I can work within those limitations, and will continue to do so as long as I can stand it, I am actively considering better weblog solutions. Once I’ve found one that works for me, I shall shift the whole Snaptophobia enterprise somewhere that gives me more freedom to lay the blog out the way I want it!

Topics in production for future posts include (in no particular order) choosing a tripod, HDR, protective glass on your lenses, and some thoughts on lighting. Thanks for reading.
