Excited About Blogging but Site Needs To Be User Friendly

I am thrilled to have moved over to EWM in time to join the Blogfest! However, I find our site a little difficult to use.

1. For one, what you see on the screen as you write is limited to too few lines at a time.
2. Uploading images to our site is extremely time consuming/difficult…remember we want to sell real estate, not spend a ton of time uploading images to create a succesful blog.
3. What you see is not what you get. I used number indenting and while they showed up on the screen, they did not show up on my end result.
4. Lost in the blogosphere…If I push save, did I just send out my blog vs saving it for a later date? Maybe the save button should read “publish blog”.
5. Could we have an on-site tutorial? While I attended 2 out of the 3 afternoon classes, including the one on uploading photos, I think it was too general to blogging and not specific enough to our site.
6. How do I find blogs previously posted? I read one yesterday that addressed Avatar uploading (which would have been helpful today) but could not find it today no matter how many catagories I visited nor how many times I pressed the “previous” blog button.
7. I think this whole blogging thing is a great idea, so please consider above comments suggestions and not complaints (I would insert a smiley face here, but don’t no how to, so will settle for 🙂 )
