Right, as ***Dave noted, ecto has split into separate Mac and Windows entities, and he and I are following the path of Windows… and an upgrade to a later version was called for. I hope this solves the problemo with the extra spaces being added to the DIVs that rock my drop-shadowed world.

So as a test post, this is pretty boring. Let’s see some pictures then.

 

This is the plaque from the Rachel Carson Wildlife Refuge. I forgot to add it to yesterday’s post.

All of my HTML tags are there, after following the instructions to uninstall ecto and install its cooler younger brother, Linear.  The presets are missing from the upload gadget (which are pretty trivial to fix, I think).

The nice thing about a program like ecto Linear is that it can be used with more than one kind of blog. Which is what I was using it for, up until fairly recently. But with WordPress’s internal image uploader not being capable of having presets like the drop shadows, and a lot of photos coming up in the next couple of weeks, it’s time to get Linear working again.

I also prefer how it handles links – the latest version of WP no longer recognizes a handy shortcut like CTRL-K, and it’s not configured to put a URL that’s in your clipboard into the link automagically like Linear is.

Also, I forgot about the Template feature. Must fool around with that, too.
