So the last post worked after some jiggery pokerry.  It turns out that a plugin pingcrawl that I use was causing me issues.  I will post a full write up later to show the fixes.

I am now trying to add a new image:

I am now trying to move the same image above to the right hand side.  I am also trying to float the image so that this text in this paragraph wraps around.  To do this I have to have enough text so it does it correctly.  I am therefore going to write these rambling words just to fill up space in this post.

So it was an absolute disaster trying to post from word back in June last year.  I have been looking for a tool to provide a more familiar feel than word press.  So we are going to post this using windows live writer. So this is the first real effort.  I am going to mark up some easy tests to see how we get on.

1. A numbered list
2. The second entry
3. Number 3 just for fun :)

The following text should be in italic and purple: only those who try to succeed will ever succeed 

If this works out ok, I will try to add a new post from here with a video, some pictures, a map etc.  All the good stuff that actually makes a blog readable and nice to look at.
