Truly Delicious Wordflux

The requirement to blog is not present in everyones life but lately is has become a fun and enjoyable part of our everyday life. Our creation (mostly my wife’s creation), Delicious WordFlux has been the driving factor of this requirement. Delicious WordFlux has also fostered a need to cook delicious food and to document and enjoy life. I mostly just enjoy the food and help out with the technical side of the blog .

I am very proud of this blog as it shows off our talents and drives us to do more. Just like the picture above of the “Padrão dos Descobrimentos” which represents an idealized view of exploration, the blog drives us to go beyond what we would normally do in everyday in the pursuit of more ambitious goals.

On the other hand, my blog is place to come when I have something to say, It is for the documentation of things going on around me. Like I say it is “just for the love of it”. Its not suppose to be a journal or a complete archive but rather a snap shot of time.

So I come today to try out a new workflow for blogging. I have heard that you can write a blog post in MS Word, then directly copy and paste it to the wordpress editor. The hyperlinks will be preserved and the pictures will automagically upload.  So, I’m going to try it.

UPDATE: I tried it and now I’m typing in the WordPress editor. The process went well as I am comfortable writing in MS word. The only issue I has was with the images. I had to upload them directly to the site though the normal channels. The links however remained in place and after saving the draft, I was able to edit the post to my liking.

This post has reminded me of the only Calvin and Hobbes comic I ever read in the newspaper. The strip was published on New Year’s Eve in 1995 and was the last one ever published. I cut this comic out of the paper that day and had it framed for my office. It shows the enduring optimism spirit I enjoy so much in life.
