Gday Rocket, why not prepare it as a word document and save as a draft, then when you are ready to post it, just cut and paste, or as I do, create a PDF, and post the PDF.
...Just read you do not have office program, do you have any other notes program?

Not sure about draft in the forum. Perhaps you could PM Cindy and ask her.

Anyone using a word document like me to do blogs etc then post on the forum just be carefull, for some reason known only to the cyber gods everything to do with grammar etc can go wrong when actually posted. I do mine in a word document then cut and paste, works great, everything is there on the screen BUT after I hit 'post' all the ' and sometimes " even words are missing. In my March 'update' this happened and there were so many missing I just gave up in the end. SO I did do them but that 'cyber god' played silly games.
Just saying to keep it in mind.

Hi Rocket, Unfortunately, the forum doesn't really have a 'draft' function. I think you've got two options - one would be to start a post and include the info and pics that you have already put together. You can then add to that same post if it is within 24 hours (if it is not within 24 hours you can contact me with the info as you wouldn't be able to edit it yourself any more). The other option would be to upload the blog in parts on the same string - eg post 'March Part 1' and then once you are ready with the next chapter, post 'March part 2', etc.

G'day Rocket
Heaps of good suggestions above. I also do not use MS Office ... Q- what do you have for your WP and other stuff?? [I use Open Office, free of cost, very reliable and gives me more features than MS Office that suits my style of work. ]
I do like Cindy's suggestion tho of inserting things in 'parts' - makes heaps easier for you to keep track of at home

Re alternative to MS Office suite.
I have used the free Open Office for many years & it's a great program for the home user. Only problem is that it does not include a Email client but Mozilla Thunderbird is free & (just) OK.
There are several other free Office software packages to choose from.
