Testing post of blog entry from android device

In the past, to publish to this blog, I've used Live Writer, one of the programs in the Microsoft Live series.  That lets me write the blog offline and then "push a button" to publish the blog post.  I found a better way to do if you are on your phone.  Use the Blogger app from Google Play.  I am running the a test by writing this entry on my Samsung S3.  

testing bold .  

Lets see how the picture works.  I am leaving Blogger running, clicking on the picture icon in Blogger, taking the picture, and then, saving it.  I come back into Blogger with the picture:


And then more text.  So the picture embedded itself. 

Based on this, It looks like the Android Blogger app works better than Live Writer.  If you are travelling, you can create the your blogs on your phone, take pictures, etc, then upload to your Blogger site when you wifi is available.

Calls from Pierre???

Got a call from Pierre, saying something very close, but not exactly, that I had won $25K.  Went on line and found this:

Call from 312-262-0024 on 8/22, left message his name was Pierre and was calling with an awards notification for a prize of $25,000 from a contest I entered last year and for me to call 855-841-6089 and
yelled congratulations!!   I called back on 8/23 and Pierre was out but she could help me.  Said it was for a home improvement contest of $25,000 or cash prize.  She said she needed to verify my information and I ask her if she thought she was going to get my social she was mistaken.  She then said no, she needed more information for the next drawing.  I asked her so guess I didn't win?  She then said yes I did, my name was pulled out of first drawing.  Then told her that I was not interested and she sounded disappointed and confused that I would not want $25,000.  Told her good bye and hung up.

I also found several attempts to say, NO, NO... this was legit.  Hah!  No doubt put out by the same organization.
