    very interesting. when you write a blog post do you write in Word and then copy over?

  2. Love to hear about the "kitchen" used to prepare all your work. My desk looks like yours, papers everywhere.

    Hi Peggy B – No, I usually don't write blog posts in Word simply because the formatting probably won't transfer when it's copied to the blog platform. It's far easier to just write a blog post within the blogger engine and add formatting wherever you need it as you go.

    Cheers,

    Leah

  4. Your reasoning is precisely why I am so committed to doing your FMQ and other assignments. I also take techie classes on-line. Currently I am improving my Photoshop Elements skills through an Ed2Go class.

    I was wondering if you would write a blog on the process you go through to create, edit and post one of your videos. Actually, the topic might take several posts.

  5. Thanks so much for this encouraging post! I'm now at the point where it's time to get serious about writing and publishing and I feel like not learning these tools has been holding me back.

    I took a quick browse through my software and realized I actually have most of these programs! I like your idea of setting aside the dedicated time each week for learning. 😉

    I use Draw Plus too and love it. I never got the hang of Illustrator. With Draw Plus and Photoshop, I have all I need.
