This is a test only post from a new to me Mac app called MarsEdit. It is similar to my much loved Open Live Writer on Windows, but without a few of the features or ablity to preview the blog format while typing. Still I’m going to give it a try and see if I can adjust to it. Just added my own macro to MarsEdit with the “Read More” tag to split posts (missing).

Sharing a second workshop tip from Woodworkers Journal - February 2023.

This is another iAWriter iPad to Hugo test post with a MyDesultoryBlog.com link a way to reset the Linux Hugo cron. Also forgot how to add footnotes.1 Updated on January 20, 2023 by removing the thumbnail. ↩︎

Sharing a workshop tip from Woodworkers Journal - February 2023.

You would think that after 60+ years that I would comfortably remember which spelling of for the past tense of ‘cancel’ was the common American English version and which was British English version. When it comes to a few words that I stumble over, I still need to check with Merriam-Webster. British vs. American English Another fine example that has answers of varying degrees of complexity is the question of how many Ls one should use in the past or present participle form of the verb cancel.

Here’s a tool tip that isn’t widely known: If you need a little more screwdriver leverage  … or your hands are slippery … check to see if a hex socket or wrench will fit on the handle of your screwdriver to give you a little additional torque (a 1” socket works for my standard Craftsman screwdriver). Just be sure you have enough down-pressure on the screwdrivers as with all the addition torque it is easy to strip out the fastener heads … be they straight blade or Philips heads.

A Second test embedding non-YouTube video While including YouTube video is built into Hugo, using rawhtml is not.1 So this is a 2nd mp4 self-served video test for New Year’s Day 2023 to see how it is handled. BTW … beware of black ice this time of year! How to add a video to a Hugo post ↩︎

Test posting using Terminal on the iPad (with an edit on iAwriter). It is the final Hugo post for the year of 2022 and doesn’t include any additional content. Happy New Year.

It took a little research, but the thought of the 10th President of the United States still having a living grandson today seemed … well, unbelievable. Mentally, I worked the numbers … and then had to do a little Internet sleuthing … but low and behold it was true. President John Tyler was born in 1790 and was president of the United States from 1841 to 1845. If you recall American history, you might remember the slogan “Tippecanoe and TylerToo” during 1840 when he was the running mate of President William Henry Harrison.
