Using OneNote and Microsoft Word as a blog editor
The document discusses using OneNote and Word as blog editors for managing multiple blogs. It details the author's current blog setup across different platforms and editors. The author decides to use OneNote and Word as their single blog editor because the tools are already paid for and used daily. OneNote allows drafting with various media types and research notes. Its "Send to Blog" feature opens the draft in Word, where it can be modified and published to blogs after configuring account credentials in the template. The author's blogs include personal and business categories hosted on WordPress, SharePoint, Blogger.
Using OneNote and Microsoft Word as a blog editor
- 1. BLOG EDITOR Using OneNoteand Word as a Blog Editor.
- 2. PROBLEM STATEMENT Over theyears I’ve created for good, bad or indifferent reasons multiple blogs. Of course I didn’t stick to one platform, I thought it would be cool to try out a variety of hosts. Each host came with their own native blog editor but I didn’t stop there, I decided to try out multiple blog editors. I’ve managed to Wheedle my blogs down to five (with my O365 blog soon to go). So now I want to get too one blog editor for all five (eventually four) blogs. Which one to choose? First some quick details….
- 3. MY BLOG PRESENCE •I have sorted my blogs into two main categories: 1. Personal 2. Business • The business blogs are hosted by either WordPress or O365 (SharePoint Office 365). • The Personal blogs are hosted by Blogger. • The blog editors I use for each host are different: 1. WordPress – Windows Live Writer 2. O365 – Microsoft Word 3. Blogger – Native editor
- 4. EDITORS I’VE FOUNDONLINE • Windows Live Writer • BlogDesk • Qumana • MarsEdit • Ecto • Blogjet • RocketPost • MacJournal • MyBlogEdit • Thingamablog • Bleezer • Post2Blog • W.Bloggar • Flock • ScribeFire • Zoundry • OneNote/Word
- 5. WHY I DECIDEDON ONENOTE/WORD • I already paid for these tools. • I use both of these tools on a daily basis. • OneNote handles all sorts of media files: • Video • Audio • Images • Drafts are saved online and offline. • All my research notes are available to be blogged. • Hand-free drawing (Surface Pro) • Natively copies page to Word using “Send to Blog”
- 6. SEND TO BLOG •OneNote relies on the web publishing features of Microsoft Word. • OneNote's Send to Blog feature, just press: • File > Send > Blog
- 7. RESULTS OF “SENDTO BLOG” • The OneNote “Send to Blog” fires up Microsoft Word. • Word automatically imports the OneNote page using the Blogging Template. • This document can be modified if needed using all of Words functionality.
- 8. SELECT BLOGGING HOST •OneNote blogging requires a connection to a hosted blog. • Any content management system that provides an API or xmlrpc.php entry point will do. • The Word Template allows you to configure which host you are sending this post to.
- 9. CONFIGURE WORD TOPOST • After choosing the desired blogging platform Microsoft Word displays a dialog box prompting for the account credentials of the blog.
- 10. PUBLISHING A POST •To publish a post, we use the BLOG POST tab located on the left of the Microsoft Word command ribbon.
