At the risk of sounding biased (this blog uses their software!), the folks at TypePad are constantly coming up with new widgets and improvements to their software tools which make blogging far easier for users. They always seem to be second-guessing, or should that read interpreting correctly, the needs of their customer base. This time they have come up with a way that you can blog directly from Word (2007) to your Typepad account. Here´s what their Everything TypePad site has to say:
The Word Blogging Tool – included in the new Microsoft Word as part of Microsoft Office 2007 – lets you publish to your blog from inside the familiar Word environment with a single click. TypePad is a default option in Microsoft Word, which makes it simple and straightforward; all you’ll need is your username and password. Better yet, the HTML the tool writes to your blog is in a simple, blog-friendly format.
And for those who’ve experienced problems cutting and pasting from Word:
If you’ve ever found yourselves cleaning up complex HTML after copying and pasting from Word, you’ll be sure to appreciate this!
It´s for reasons such as this that Typepad is my preferred blogging tool for my business blogging workshops.
