Nope, I meant Notepad. At least in Vista; I didn’t remember having the same issue with XP, but it’s possible. But see, that’s one of those sneaky things Microsoft has done; they made sure to change things just enough so that, unless you catch it, it’ll mess up webpages like nothing else.

That’s okay Scott, you’re allowed. And I’ve saved many of them, but I’d have to do some serious editing to protect the innocent!

Notepad or Wordpad? Wordpad does things very much lke Word does. I use a plain text editor for my coding and articles. Check out Editpad. It’s a great tool.

Great tips, Mitch! I know I was always told that when you write, don’t worry about the grammer and punctuation. There’s plenty of time to go back and edit it later. The important thing is to get the thoughts, story or whatever on paper or in a file.

Like anything else, the more you do it, the easier it gets.

As Mitch’s friend, I have enjoyed many a story about his life. I hope he’s saved them all as they’d make a great book. (Oops, sorry to refer to you in the third person, Mitch!).

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

You’d have noticed if you’d put in any HTML and transferred it over. The links to webpages worked, as did bold, but colors didn’t work and the target-blank didn’t work. So, that messed stuff up, in my opinion.

I don’t use it for regular writing like this, but when I have something long and involved, then I pull it out. My book was almost 200 pages, which can be a lot of typing, as you know, but once I hooked up Dragon, it was relatively smooth sailing from then on.

hi Mitch,
Thanks for the suggestion on Dragon voice recognition software. I never would have thought about it, or thought that it really works. Are you saying you used it? And do you still use it?

Same thing as with Word. It’s not the coding problem specifically, like Word would do if you tried to create an HTML site, it’s that it, and Notepad, renders quotation marks differently than they’re rendered in HTML, with curved marks rather than up and down straight marks. And those won’t translate the HTML properly. With my HTML program, it’ll change the quotation marks back, but WordPress keeps exactly what you transfer over in that instance, so I always have to go back through my copy and change all those marks.
