Rayne Today

(ED: Reposted from yesterday afternoon)

Grrr...AOL Journals will simply not work for me. Here's why:

1) Inability to cut and paste from word processing or other editing software;

2) No spell checking or grammar checking features in lieu of using one's word processing software;

3) Although service is generally good, it is not 100% uptime on dialup; this means a Journal post could be lost if service hung or connection was lost before a post was saved (no auto-save feature);

4) Invisibility of HTML tags embedded by AOL which cut into entry size -- I have no way to count them and monitor them before posting (and my typical posts are often over 2,500 characters).

A shame that I have to call this new toy DOA already. I'll pick around with it for a bit, but I think I'm going to have to stay in my existing blog.

Feel free to leave me a comment if there's a work around on the cut-and-paste that might help. Thanks!
