Interim thoughts... blogging platforms

OK, I've been using Blogger for a few days now, and have found it intuitive and easy to use... BUT... the image (photo) management options suck big-time - you get a choice of sizes, but the smaller ones are ridiculously small thumbnails, while the larger ones bust out beyond the the template frame boundaries, which make the Blog look nasty. I've had to settle for the medium-sized format, which is rather too small for the images I want to display. On the plus side, although you only get 1GB of image storage, images under 2048 x 2048 pixels don't count towards that limit, so if I keep my resolutions down, this should never be a problem (I try to keep at least one axis under 600 pxl). 

Storage apart, it seems that I'm going to have to build collages or mosaics of images, save them as a single file and upload it, if I want this Blog to look the way I want it to... a big demerit, Blogger.com! See my next post to see how well (or not) this approach works.

I shall test hyperlinks and video in the next few days... watch this space!
