I’m hooked on Windows Live Writer to compose and publish blog posts but today I’m going to try posting with Google Docs. I just learned Google has slipped in a function that publishes Docs to a blog. It’s found under the ‘Publish’ tab on the far right of the Docs window.

So what? Well, WordPress’ editor can often be very tedious as I wait for the server to save or to pull up editing tools while Google Docs works much more smoothly. It’s really not a big deal but if I’m away from my own computer and without Live Writer then Google Docs is another option for seamless posting.

I’ll try inserting an image to see how Google Docs does some heavier lifting.

Now that I’ve published this I’ll edit it again with Google Docs.

Here are some Google Docs shortcomings:

• Cannot categorize so I’ll have to go back in WordPress to do that.
• No title to the post. Hmmm. That’s not good–Google still has some work to do. I’ll have to add that with WP editor.
