I also just discovered that there is newer blogger format than what I was using and I switched. That has helped, though still some formatting problems. I like to post the cover first and then that helps me get started.bookmagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808845291761439603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088208934955479590.post-57525857574114170362009-10-02T09:05:35.731-04:002009-10-02T09:05:35.731-04:00I, too, found copying and pasting form Word create...I, too, found copying and pasting form Word created a mess format wise so now just start in new post and always hit preview before posting and then go back and do any necessary edits. Now if I could only figure out how to get motivated and write a decent review, I would be all set. <br /><br />Debbie, I hope you feel better now. sent you a new e, not a reply on Wed.

Now and then, the auto-save feature ceases to function. And, for some reason I can no longer cut and paste, either to or from a blogger post. So, I couldn't write something and then paste it into my blog, anyway. Weird. If the auto-save feature is working, I save frequently. And, sometimes I still have formatting issues. If I'm not getting spaces between paragraphs, I go in and add the paragraph symbol to create spaces, etc.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088208934955479590.post-60665552988752171042009-10-01T18:48:26.001-04:002009-10-01T18:48:26.001-04:00I hope you feel better soon!

But then those crazy formatting issues you mentioned popped up...so yeah, avoid that! Then I started using Live Writer, which worked pretty well.<br /><br />Now that I'm on wordpress, I usually just click new post and start typing. Sometimes I'll write something in word, but that can be a little quirky at times, too. If I'm not at home, I'll sometimes write posts out by hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088208934955479590.post-88126478813071138602009-10-01T16:26:24.361-04:002009-10-01T16:26:24.361-04:00As with most of the bloggers here I just click on ...As with most of the bloggers here I just click on New Post and start typing.<br />When I do interviews with authors I've tried to copy and paste from Word and email and usually end up with a format mess!

Sometimes if it doesn't come out quite the way I want to say it, I'll save it as a draft and come back to it. <br /><br />Occasionally I'll draft on paper (those tend to be the reviews I'm happiest with), but mostly I'm a click-and-type kind of blogger.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727580109068393725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088208934955479590.post-24115991846368333962009-10-01T10:45:15.910-04:002009-10-01T10:45:15.910-04:00Debbie, This was a great to[ic, as I've been ...Debbie, This was a great to[ic, as I've been wondering the same thing, so thanks for bringing it up.<br /><br />In the past I've had formatting issues as well. I've tried drafting reviews using, Word, gmail, and just clicking on new post, and I have the best "formatting success", just doing "new post", so now I often draft my reviews in a notebook, and the type away using "new post".<br /><br />Occasionally even when all looks fine, the post may look a bit wacky. It can be frustrating.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088208934955479590.post-5403151573138332612009-10-01T10:12:21.600-04:002009-10-01T10:12:21.600-04:00I do it much like Angela does.

I've heard from other people that doing it in Word and then copying it does create some crazy formatting issues so I have stayed away from that method. I've also experienced the formatting issues when trying to copy an article from a publicist out of my email to post. I had to go into the html and delete a bunch of coding and since I have no idea what I'm doing in the html I could have really messed things up!<br /><br />Once I get my review posted on my blog I usually copy it from there to post on the other sites I use (LibraryThing, Goodreads, Facebook).<br /><br />I'll be interested to see how other people do this.LibraryGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02228787848421626358noreply@blogger.com
