Yesterday I tried out the post by email feature on WordPress but forgot to add tags and categories. so today I need to try to do that too. I’m disappointed that the photos appear at the end of the post rather than at the beginning or in line with text, but I’m pleased that I can post at all. The main problem is that the photo appeared after my signature line, so I’m experimenting with putting the signature line first. If it’s too annoying let me know and in future posts by email I’ll just leave it off or just not worry that the photo is tacked on as an afterthought.
I’m also trying to do this without wifi because obviously if I’m out in the middle of nowhere I’ll be lucky to have a signal of any kind and definitely no wifi.
I took my last walk in the neighborhood today, and then ended out in the desert. I’ll miss that easy access to the wilds, but there will be more wilds in the future. This is an interesting time in my life, that’s for sure.

Well, it came out very nicely. But your author profile is at the top of the post rather than at the bottom.

I know. I didn’t like that the photos came after the author profile, so I put the bio at the top. I think it will be okay if I put the author profile in parenthesis — it will let frequent readers know they can skip it, yet let casual readers know who I am. But I might change my mind and leave off the bio. It’s not necessary if people come to the blog and see my sidebars, but so often people read on their phones or in their email servers. Just one of the many little things to think about.

Gee, I never thought of that.

That’s why you follow me, because I do think of such things! 🙂

Don’t know where my comment went–anyway–got this in my inbox, so you’re cooking w/gas.

This was the second time I posted by email. Your comment on the other post is still there.

You’re amazing, Pat! Don’t have a clue how you did it, but so glad you did!
