So far, it seems a little buggy.  It occasionally freezes, and when I added the hyperlinks above, it gave me an error message before it went ahead and inserted the links.  Hmm  But it does have some decent image features (the pic above was modified with a quickie filter the software offers), and I do like the ability to see what my entry will look like as I am typing.</p> <div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:5618fec9-564d-4cf4-8a63-a5789bb01635" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/blog" rel="tag">blog</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/software" rel="tag">software</a></div> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7161540969948128708-7304711137118065566?l=www.pixelsandwich.com'/></div>Tonynoreply@blogger.com0
