Posting blogs using Word 2007

For those of you who have the new Office suite (2007), or Word 2007, you can write your posts in Word, and then publish them directly from Word. This is very useful!

To do this:

  • start a new document by clicking on the top left symbol in Word, and choosing 'new'.
  • From the window that opens, chose 'new blog post' (double click on it).
  • The first time you do this, you will get a little box asking you to register. Choose 'blogger' from the drop down box of providers (assuming you are using blogger.com), and simply enter your user name and password. You don't even have to remember the url!
  • Then write your piece/post, and when you have finished, click the 'publish' icon, top left of the screen, and off it goes. As simple as that!

Clicking the 'home page' button (top left) opens your blog in your browser. Like most things in Word 2007, it is very well designed, and very easy to use. It also means you have the usual things in Word to use – such as the spell-checker, bullets (as in this post) and so on.
