Flat Earth News by Nick Davies

When someone says to you, 'Read Flat Earth News by Nick Davies.' Do it. If you don't have a copy, get one. Sure you don't need me to say how valuable the ideas are, but if you do, then think about how you want your truth served up. Update: Seems first year Politics students at University of Warwick have FEN as required reading - then again, why wouldn't they? 

Links about the book: YouTube when Nick Davies visited CU (not the best video, but he summarises key ideas quite well). Nick Davies at Wikipedia. Google Search: Flat Earth News by Nick Davies.

Blogger Image Uploader not working, here how to bypass it

Today is the day when new posts to Blogger will not upload images correctly. Here's how to bypass the browser and do it manually. Images will upload, but then will not show inside the post compose editor.

Step 1, UPLOAD IMAGE in normal way, RIGHT CLICK > COPY IMAGE URL > paste in new browser window (or notepad)

Step 2, Open an old post and EDIT HTML and COPY CODE of an existing image.

Step 3,  Substitute old IMAGE URL, with one for NEW IMAGE

Step 4, PREVIEW, it's probably too small, so tweek the sizes using /s1600/ in URL, PREVIEW AGAIN

Step 5, CLICK IMAGE and scale, add caption in normal way.

That's it, sorry about no screen shots with this post, just thought I would post these tips (and not mess about with code).
