Re: Note on blogging
I'm sorry - can't help you with changing code. I simply went into the
options menu within the software and clicked on the link that changed
the path automatically. Far simpler for a plants guy. ;-)
In answer to your other question. I try very hard not to waste too much
time figuring out coding or software. That's what they pay software guys
to do. If I can't do it first off - I ask or pay to have it done. I
make more writing for myself and my clients than I do figuring out
software.
