It feels so much easier to write in the rich client than the web interface. The page is bigger, the formatting tools much more accessible, and it overall just feels more satisfying. One of the technical things that is really nice about this is that, if something went wrong in Wordpress editing, I'd often have to go to the HTML view to sort it out. On long posts, that could be a real pain. Word makes it really easy, as it converts the formatting once. (Less room to get confused.) As Johan mentioned, the scaling of images is way easier as well. ;) Hi guys,

Do you think you will do it this way form now on? Hi Ken,

Do you think you will do it this way form now on?

Thanks! Dennis Ken,

I'm suitably impressed! It looks like the only thing that didn't come through quite right was the happy face icon. Those got converted to the J character, which actually doesn't surprise me that much. I often seem to get J characters in emails that have been sent to me from Outlook. So, despite being really painfully long winded, this was really easy. Easier, in fact, than logging on to WordPress to make the post! Well, well. I’m suitably impressed!
