I just downloaded and went through a trying time to get Mariner Software’s WinJournal to connect to this blog.  It was not easy.  Try as I might, I could not get it to see the blog’s login page.  By the way, it was looking for the xmlprx.php page on the WordPress install, should you be intrepid.

Once I got connected, I downloaded all the blog entries.  That went fairly quick.  Next, I tried to edit an existing post, just to see how it worked.  It didn’t.  Some of the text was unprintable character code and the paragraph’s were off.

I looked at another post, this one with unordered lists. The html links from them to others websites went outside of the existing anchor tag <a></a> and looked bad.

I am quite disappointed.  I was hoping to get my wife a good piece of software that she could journal or even post to the blog.  Looks like I will keep looking.

Also, the layout was not very nice.  It was clean, but looked more like a Mac interpretation of a Windows program.  I like my Mac, but want each platform’s design standards to be followed, even on offerings from the same vendor.
