That’s the trouble with notepad. You have to proofread (or ask someone) your article to make sure everything’s right. Unfortunately, I am not doing that. But since I am planning to re-launch my blog, I’ll have someone do the proofreading.

Yes – Google Docs is great, particularly where you’re sharing documents with people in other countries and timezones.

Cheers,

You’re welcome – and you’re the first person I’ve met who uses Notepad to write articles..! How do you deal with the spelling and grammar checking?

Wow, been using for almost 2 years now and I never thought of that. That’s simple cause I use notepad to write articles.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for sharing that information. I didn’t realise wordpress had the paste from word option. I used to type straight into wordpress.

Now I use Google Docs. I think its great because it has word count and spell checker and you can put your links in and they will still work when you paste your document into wordpress. You can also download your files in word, text, pdf and html, plus more. Has loads of other great features too.

Understand your ‘worries’ but… SSD lets you export your new post as a draft too, so you can check, edit or even add before the post goes live.

Have a look at my latest post you commented on over at the Kiss blog – that was written with the Desktop.

It is really that good a program (IMHO, and I don’t own any shares in the company )

Ha..!

I didn’t even need to read your comment to know what you were going to suggest..!!

But the thing is I actually prefer the control of knowing exactly how my posts are going to appear in any environment.

Although I haven’t tried Screensteps, the remote (desktop) writers that I have tried result in nonsense characters at some point in the process – always through RSS and often through my eLertGadget RSS feed.

The manual process eliminates them – which is why I use that approach.

Cheers,

Martin.

Martin, you know what I’m going to suggest
Create your content in ScreenSteps Desktop and export it to your blog (or to a PDF document or to a Word document or to a HTML page).
No more worries about formatting mishaps and it even has a spell check

Best thing about it is that you can re-use your content in multiple ways, combine articles in a “manual” etc.

But then I am a ScreenSteps fan, a big fan.
