I plan to write first and then to transfer the text, with links etc. The essay is 2000 words (+/- 10%) Then add bits and pieces, whatever. If I write straight into a blog format that's when I feel it is hard to judge.Sadly scrolling up and down a blank MS Word page still seem the best for me in getting ideas moving...

I've got to keep it simple because I'm liable to spend far too long tinkering and getting frustrated with anything more complicated. What are your other possibles? Thanks both.

I've used it a good bit in the past and found it pretty straightforward to manipulate. At the moment I'm still a bit torn about platforms but as Gina says above it is the writing as opposed to the fabrication that I'm trying to focus on. There's nothing quite like a nausea-inducing platform registration e-mail to spur one on! :) Nikki Hi Steph,

I am still not sure, wanting to spend more time writing, and less time fabricating ... I really do think there is an amount of engineering involved with these online platforms and previous experience has taught me I can spend days without achieving much... that’s useful to know Steph.
