DotText Learning Curve

Last night I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to include images in my DotText posts.  I was going to upload all of the posts I had entered previously in CityDesk.  It was not easy.

DotText does have the nice feature that allows me to add posts directly on the web.  CityDesk had a local application / database, and you had to publish your site to the web server.  Because of that it is only possible to create posts on one machine.  Now I can create posts from work if I want.

But uploading pictures is tough.  I have to upload them separately and then create a link to them.  I tried w.bloggar, which seems to have a mechanism for including pictures.  I didn't figure out how to do it gracefully.  I did upload a couple of prior posts with pictures.  But it appears to be too much trouble for me to upload all of them, unless I learn how to do it more easily.

Also I am trying out a few skins, to see which one I want to settle on.  I plan on picking one, then customizing it even more by adding an image or two to the heading.  There's a lot to learn.
