I mentioned this at the end of the
Hamtarro crossover fic I posted this morning.
For those of you who might not know,
the way the composing screen for Blogger is set up is that there's
the title frame at the top where the post title goes, along with the
controls for saving, previewing, and publishing the post. Below that
is the composing and editing frame, where the actual contents of the
post go. This is roughly centered in the page. Along the right side
of the page are the options for labeling/tagging entries, scheduling,
location options, options, and of course, the gadgets that let me add
the poster-defined ad links, should I choose to do so.
Now, the issue I've been having here is
that there's about five lines or so of the text pane there that go
below the taskbar on my desktop after the text pane expands from its
smaller size when the new post page first loads. I'm not sure if
this is an issue with Blogger; my browser, which is Firefox; my
computer; or some combination thereof. This is frustrating when I'm
working directly on Blogger, because if I'm trying to make a post
that goes beyond a certain length, I'm not going to be able to see
what comes below a certain point. Where one might think there would
be a scroll bar on the right side of my browser, there's not. There
is one in the editing pane itself, but that doesn't do me much good
since the rest of the screen doesn't scroll.
Fortunately, I do have a temporary
workaround. I can write in one of the various word processors I've
got on my machine. That's what I'm doing for now. But I'm still
looking into resolving the Blogger issue, too, just in case I want to
do a little quick publishing of longer posts than I can currently
work with on-site. I may need to get with Google on this, since it's
one of their products now.
Updates to follow.
