=)Bnpositive's Random Thoughts

bnpositive — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 20:31:46 +0000

I continually tell my Gmail account to remember to always display images in emails I get from the same accounts repeatedly, but for some reason it seems I have to keep clicking them. What gives?

I realize that sometimes companies use odd “from” email addresses to send their newsletters, I realize how this could be an issue (and why that’s really annoying when companies do that!). But some of them that I continually have to tell to display images are simple email addresses that I know I’ve told to remember previously. http://amplify.com/u/a1gec0

This is just a quick test post being generated from Microsoft Word and pushed for publishing to a WordPress.com hosted blog.

This paragraph would be bolded.

This paragraph is italics

This paragraph is blockquoted

This is a bulleted list:

item 1
item 2
item 3

UPDATE:
Here’s an interesting note. The code that was generated by this post didn’t contain any of the normal Word formatting crap you usually see when you write a post in Word and then paste into your blog editor. One specific drawback that I immediately see is the inability to optimize the image file name, alt text, etc.

Google Drops Support for Toolbar in Firefox?

This is an article that was published back in June after Randy Savage was killed in a car wreck. The photo is what struck me. Even as an old man he just looked like someone you didn’t want to mess with. Look at that cold stare and those giant hands!
