Using Google Docs as a Blog Editor

Using Google Docs as a Blog Editor

If you are an enthusiastic blogger and a bit of a perfectionist, an off-line blog editor like Microsoft Live Writer or the truly awesome Ecto are well worth investigating. But if you just want to knock up a quick blog post, or you have an old document that you have decided you want to share on the web then it might be worth bearing in mind that you can use Google Docs as a rough and ready blog editor.

Write the post as you would any other, then save and close the document. Go to the main Docs window and tick the document. Pick the More Actions option and select publish.

If you haven't carried out this process before you need to go to the bottom of the page and fill in your blog settings - so you will need to remember your password. If you run more than one blog you need to make sure that it is set up for the blog you are working on.

Then just press post to blog and you are done.
