What IS with all this white stuff?????

It IS only Nov. 12th!! And this isn't New England, it's the Mid-Hudson Valley of NY - no snow, not for another month!

Finished that sleeve yesterday, so have knit up the sts around the other armhole and want to get the 2nd sleeve worked up, particularly as it's a gloomy day - all grey and wintry-looking.

Will spend the weekend working on the Gazette, this sleeve, and then, hopefully, the front bands and collar.

I downloaded Movable Type today, but after reading all the installation instructions, it doesn't look like I'll be switching over from Blogger. Cgi scrips and perl and yet more directory nonsense - it's just a blog, not something important, like my website.

It's not that I don't like Blogger, I do, but to get to use all the features it offers, I'd need to have a Mac running OS 10, which I haven't got. I'm still running 9 and both my Macs are too old for 10. And I have no intention of getting a mac that NEEDS to run on 10, as the progs I use don't have upgrades for that OS. And I'm not keen on having to learn an entirely new OS, anyway. I know where all my stuff is with 9. It works well, much better than OS 8 - with the only freezes occurring because of IE 5. Yeah, I've tried Netscape - slower than dirt and way too inflated a prog for my taste. I've also tried Opera. I like the way IE 5 for Mac works - I just have to accept that some sites, made with the newest site-building progs, are gonna give me trouble now and then.

So, anyway, I was grumbling to myself that as I can't do anything fancy (if you can call basic formatting fancy!) with Blogger unless I spend time learning some html tags - yeah right - maybe there was another free blogging service available, that worked with Mac OS 9? If anyone uses one or knows of one, do let me know. My email.
