  • Not too bad, fairly legible and two colors even! :)

  • Looks fairly good. I can’t wait until we can post in ink natively, i.e.; without it being an image file.

  • Looking good James.

    Don’t know if it’s because the image is resized on the blog page but it is much smoother in the RSS feed.

  • It’s the image resizing thing that TypePad does. If you click on the ink it opens a normal size window and looks really good.

  • Looks pretty good really when not resized. I’m still not sold on blogging in ink for the sake of it and would not give up having my posts searchable – but where ink adds value (like including a diagram)this is a good way to do it.Well done: (So simple – Why didn’t I think of that!?!)

  • The image itself is fine if you save it as a file and open it in an image program but it gets all pixillated when re-sized by TypePad. Try an image of writing that is about 2/3 of your previous width in pixels. It should look fine because it won’t need to be re-sized.

  • I’m really liking ink for emphasis or effect, but I will always prefer reading normal text. I really speed read most blog entries and at the end of the day, it takes a lot more mental power to read ink than it does text. Keep experimenting though!

  • The biggest drawback of this method for ink posting is the lack of search spidering by Google et. al. I can see using this method for short frivolous posts that I don’t make many of now because it’s a bit of a hassle using the TypePad editor. Plus this way I can do them offline and post later.
