Well, not too many days after I wished for better editing tools on this service, they have quietly appeared!  The editing features not only allow font and size adjustments (which would have served to correct some of my copy-and-paste problems) but there is a direct HTML editing mode as well, so I can remove any copied attributes that are messing up the consistentent style.

Having access to the HTML also allows me to embed images in the text.  So I immediately went back and updated some of my previous entries, with some pretty good success I think!  Some of the entries relied heavily on the image to communicate the complete idea - now I’m in control of the relative size of text and images.

With these new tools at my disposal, I did have to make some design adjustments to the page.  As you can see, I’ve increased the size of the text relative to the photo album so that I can have wider pictures, and still wrap text around the photo.  I also went with a simpler template, one without transparency, in order to make the inlined pictures display better.  It was hard to see before, but the little thumbnails were 20% transparent in the old "Megan’s water" design.  It became much more obvious as the photo size grew.  I tried hacking some styles to restore just the images to full opacity, but gave up after only a few minutes…
