Another OLW test
It didn’t.
The idea was that I should create a post in OLW and then copy and paste it into Blogger. It worked for the text but where the photo should be there was just a blank image window.
See, I was right.
Wainwright’s Pennine Journey

Whilst I’m on the subject: I loaned my copy of ‘A Pennine Journey’ out to, er, someone a good few years ago….but I can’t remember who. It’s an age thing y’see.
If it was you, could you let me have it back please!
Ta.

And another...
Well, what fun!
The photos in my last post are visible on my computer, but not other computers....well not on Martin's computer anyway.
One thing I noticed: I hadn't made the album I took the photos from available for public viewing - that's now been changed.
This is a photo that I've copied and pasted from Google Photos straight into Blogger:
This photo is posted using the conventional Blogger method:
Blogger, LiveWriter and OpenLiveWriter.
Update:
This was originally posted using Blogger.
I then opened OpenLiveWriter and selected ‘Open Recent Post’ to open this post.
I then changed the font and font size before updating.
This seems to have been successful. So far.
Update 2:
Although the photos are visible on MY computer, others can’t see them….well Martin can’t.
I realised the album I took the photos from was private, I’ve now changed that to public….let’s see.
Update 3:
Maybe not...

Another test
With the latest version of OLW.
The problems I’ve had before are all related to posts that include photographs, text only posts were fine.
The first test, with photographs taken from my computer, failed to post. The error report:
Google.Apis.Requests.RequestError
Insufficient Permission: Request had insufficient authentication scopes. [403]
Errors [
Message[Insufficient Permission: Request had insufficient authentication scopes.] Location[ - ] Reason[insufficientPermissions] Domain[global]
]
This test post doesn’t have photographs.

P2P recce with Judith, a UFO, and a wild camp.
The Plan (there’s sometimes A Plan) was to once again recce the route from Hope to New Mills.
Judith had been pressed into proof-reading my written route description, checking that the words on the paper bore some resemblance to the actual route on the ground.
It proved to be nearly okay…..apart from the odd intruction to head East rather than West. Oh well.
Judith and I met up in Manchester and then hopped onto a train to Hope, arriving around mid-day.
Our route headed north from Hope station
