Blogspot not for safari?

HELP: is blogging only for PC users?

I am wondering why I can't blog on my Mac on blogspot? Have you ever tried adding a picture to your blog from a Mac? Or have you tried figuring out what the commands for using this site could be using a Mac?

I tried and try to understand how to maintain my blog without having to switch computers all the time. Therefore, I hope there is someone at this forum who knows what to do?

Thanks, and I apologize if this is slightly off-topic.

Blogger works fine on Safari...if you understand HTML. Creating/editing posts seems to be permanently stuck in HTML mode, making it really hard to format text, create links, etc, ladida. Does anyone know how to fix this? It works fine in Firefox. Compare screenshots:

IN SAFARI

IN FIREFOX

I try not to use Firefox if I don't have to, cause I love Safari. Is this a Safari bug or a Blogger bug or both? 😟

Hi

a nightly build of Webkit got the toolbar for posting working properly for me.

Webkit in this form is a sort of beta version for testing, but I have found it totally stable lately.... & the good thing is it works & looks just the same as Safari - uses the same bookmarks etc etc

If you d/l a nightly build, open the dmg & drag the webkit app to your applications folder ( ignore the Drosera app). The icon is the same as Safari, but with a gold rim... of course you can put a shortcut in the dock for it too.

seems the latest nightly doesn't use the keychains for saved passwords etc, nor prompt you to store them. I have heard that this was working now, but maybe a previous recent build??
