Steroids in Lacrosse, and why Yardbarker sucks

I have tried twice now to post this article to Yardbarker, and both times I had to delete it since it just didn't work. The link is still there, but the text of the article can't be posted here because YB just won't accept it. I tried to paste already-formatted text (I copied the text straight off of my blog page in Firefox and pasted it into the edit box) - it looked good until I saved the article, at which point all the formatting was screwed up. I tried to add images, and can't resize them. I tried to use standard HTML / CSS formatting, and YB doesn't understand it. I tried to edit the article and YB won't let me. It brings up the article in a text box, lets me move the cursor around, but I can't change anything. What the hell use is an "Edit" button if you can't actually edit the damn article?

I've had enough. The concept of YB is great, especially when they have real athletes writing stuff, but the interface is just too annoying and limiting. Plus, I've had exactly zero people from YB click on links to my blog.

This will be my last posting to YB. If you want to follow what I write, pop on over to cutthechatter.com. If not, well, see ya.
