    Just wondering if Horizons has passed on to your blogging administrators what I learned on my own about blogging. Contributors, authors, and editors have much cooler tools for writing posts than administrators have. There are options of color, format, etc. that administrators don’t have. You get the option of typing in visual or code. I just used another email addy and went through the process of signing up to be a blogger again, approving myself as an editor. Blogging is much easier now.
