Writing 2 blogs, just now.
The other blog is www.o-t-g.com/blog done with TrellixWeb producing "framed" html to a template customized from a couple of Dan Bricklin's experimental layouts for Trellix - TrellixWeb - CuteSite customers

oljoeblog.blogspot.com is a use of Groove's Blogger Tool to post to a Blogger.com blog on blogspot.com. The beta tool is created by Suite75 in Holland. Injected into my private GrooveSpace laboratory it automates the FTP posting that editing on the Blogger webpage - web service could do. A disadvantage of the Groove approach is that I cannot alter the website template through the tool. BUT that function is always available through Blogger. On the + side, in the tool I can edit within a much wider entry box, see more of what mistake I whizzed in with random typing

So ! there is an investment in both methods and the 2 blogs. One of my own creativity in carving the screen seen result. The other, the foment of excitement in a community getting a new paradigm functioning.

Latency of web services relaying around from Groove to Blogger to Blogspot and back - means the impatience to test something may corrupt the lab data. I write an item in Groove Blogger tool, SEND it, wait a little, toggle to the HomePage tab then minimize Groove and do something else. When I look back, eventually (4 minutes ?) the modified Homepage is showing on Blogspot. Toggling back to the Blogger Tool MAIN PAGE it stills says "sending" the update that is already there. Indeed if I try to create a new item, that may be too soon. Again minimizing Groove and doing something else..on return to Groove Blogger tool it still says "sending" but this time the NEW button actually opens an Editing window. Would some of this latency disappear if I was FTP uploading to an ISP in my own hometown, instead of to Blogger/Blogspot ?

Posts via Groove show an extra date/time stamp. This puts extra "white" space between posts. Think it best to go to this wide screen format to give enough visual coherency to phrases to promote understanding. Sentences chopped up by a narrow column promote fragmentary understanding, irritation, rejection, non-use, etc.

After several experiments the Groove Blogger Tool does seem to be working well. Webservices may cause more latency in getting the post transferred to blogspot. Think I will use it a lot for a while. Use editing at Blogger primarily for html template modifications.
DID change the default right hand bottom title to centered.
