In an effort to reduce the amount of step between writing and publishing your latest blog entry, Google/Blogger has developed a new toolbar that was designed to do just that.
It was revealed in a post on the Google blog that bloggers who use Google’s blog service and Microsoft Word in order to write their latest posts now have a toolbar that will reduce the amount of work required to post an entry written in MS Word: the Blogger for Word toolbar.
What makes this tool so attractive to those who like to ensure their copy is properly spelled and punctuated is the ability to push the “Publish” button on the toolbar and see their work actually posted on their blog. Not only can users publish their word document, the toolbar also allows users to select the “Save As Draft” button to save their work for a later date. Users can also edit their previous 15 posts by selecting the Open Post option. This opens the selected entry in Word, allowing you to make the necessary changes.
As with most Google-based products, the Blogger for Word toolbar is free to download. All that’s required to run the utility is Windows XP, a Blogger account, Word 2000 or higher. To download the Blogger for Word toolbar, visit here. You can also read their FAQ if you need further information.
