Easily Manage Multiple Website Blogs with Microsoft Office Word 2007
In the Office 2007 Suite, Microsoft has built in many new unique features. One of the most impressive is the ability to publish text directly to internet blog sites using Word. In fact, it even has the ability to publish a single article simultaneously to multiple blogs on multiple sites. This feature can be extremely beneficial to an individual with a single blog as well as the business associate that contributes to multiple blogs.
The ability to publish posts to blog sites directly from Word has a number of advantages. One advantage is that it can minimize the time necessary to be connected to the internet (which in turn minimizes the chance of internet or software problems that kick you offline or of the website). It is also a great tool to be able to open an existing larger text document, and publish a post for existing text rather than opening a new document and copying and pasting back and forth. For those that post the same writing to multiple blogs, like article marketing or SEO professionals, this can be a huge time saver. Image the time it would take to log into five or six blog site and pasting your text into each one versus one click to post them all simultaneously.
Okay, so let us get down to how to do it. It is actually quite simple. The very first thing that you must do is to set up an account with a blogging web service. You can do so by searching the internet for blog websites or by looking at the list that Word gives you to choose from. The list in Word will give you both free services as well as ones with price tags attached. Here are the free ones that are listed in Word: Windows Live Spaces, Blogger, and WordPress. When you set up your account be sure to retain the following information: your user id, user password and your blogs web address. The web address will typically be just like the web address of your blog space provider except with your blogs name in place of the www.
Now back to Microsoft Office. It is likely that you will begin with a fresh slate rather than taking text from an existing document, so open a new blank Word document. If you do have text already simply open that file instead. You will then want to click on the ‘File’ menu in the upper left hand corner of Word where the Office logo is located. Choose ‘Publish’, then click on ‘Blog’. After clicking ‘Blog’, Word will ask for you to register your Blog websites with user id’s and passwords. You can easily manage these accounts later if you need to add or edit your information. You will then be able to write your blog post including photos associated with your writing. Add photos by clicking on the ‘Insert’ tab in the toolbar and choosing ‘picture’.
Once you have completed your post and would like to publish it to your blogs, simply click on the ‘Publish’ button in the toolbar. Your text and photos will be automatically posted to each blog site that you have provided information for. Have fun posting to your blog with this new feature or relax with the extra time you just saved.
