More About the Princess

2010-09-12 by derrell, tagged as critters, general

Since in the last post I gave out a peek of the princess ruling from on high. I thought I would add a few more choice picks from her portfolio.

Of course there is this one from on the throne.

Right after that shot I got a look at what royal disdain looks like.

This one comes from one of the royal hunting trips.

Switched to BlazeBlogger

I really like being able to keep all of my posts on my home PC and just upload them to the server after I write one. It eliminates the security concerns systems like WordPress and other server side set ups and honestly I just really don't need all of the fancy stuff.

I really don't blog enough to warrant all of that. I had at one time a system that I wrote myself that would let me write text files and it would then transform them and ftp them to my server but I let it go and honestly it was something of a pain to keep updated.

Well BlazeBlogger does pretty much everything my code did except for the automatic upload to the server but thats not a big deal as it is simple enough for me to sync the two directories after I write a post and if I really want to I could cobble together a perl script that I could run as a cron job once a night to sync the local and remote directory structures but as I said it really isn't worth the effort for the small amount that I actually blog.

So in short check BlazeBlogger if you need a simple command line based system managing a simple online presence.
