OHC- The Deep Dive & Archives

I received my first Chromebook on June 16th and am thrilled with my purchase. I wrote a glowing 5-star review on my blog that night. The device has a slight learning curve but is easy to use and has impressive battery life. I believed I had everything I needed with my Chromebook and Sandisk drive. However, I need help importing posts from Medium to Blogger. After researching the issue, I discovered that the zip file needs to be converted to XML format before it can be imported into Blogger while keeping the canonical links intact, and this can only be done on a Windows device. I don't want to purchase a Windows device, so I'm looking for a workaround solution. I would appreciate any advice you can offer.  I'm continuing to research.  I'll update the fix here when, fingers crossed, I find one.  I still love my Chromebook.  Update 8/24/23- I figured it out! I will share the fix and what I learned in a future post! Thanks for stopping by!

Blogger's platform provides the best and most simplistic user experience. Creating and publishing a post is straightforward & easy to navigate. Widgets are paired down & easy to manipulate. It seems like the perfect place to blog about remote working, telecommuter life & all things related to the lifestyle.  Funny- I looked for 30 minutes for the featured image option for my post until I realized there wasn't one- at least not with my template.  Not a deal breaker...I can add i...

I got a new Acer Spin 514 Chromebook/Google AMD Raven Ridge. I love it! I'm talking over the moon; happy with it so far… My Dad informed me the Chromebook is related to Linux & this intrigues me.  Dad was an early Linux adopter/enthusiast. It seems like I remember him telling me it took days to download Linux; not sure how long the installation took. I'll increase my basic understanding of Linux in the coming days. The Pixel phone has been my choice for a while now; I've been an Android devotee for longer than I've been a Google phone lover & haven't had a laptop/desktop without Windows on it, ever. And I always got along with my phone better than my laptop! Go figure!  Familiarizing myself with the new Chromebook, here is an observation that became apparent to me- Most of my monthly spending (outside of the usual necessary expenses) is to stay connected to the outside world…tech, streaming fees, cloud storage…upgrading tech, more storage, etc. I'm even...
