Testing MS Word 2007 Blogging Feature
September 14th, 2007
I’m currently testing out the new Word 2007 and its built-in blogging functionality. Quite frankly, the color schemes it has are less than stellar – I’ll just stick with the blue for now. Maybe they’ll come out with more in the future.
My main concern when it comes to blogging from MS Word is how the HTML will be presented after publication. Though I probably shouldn’t be as picky as I am, it does bother me when a desktop publishing client uses sloppy or invalid (X)HTML code.
One thing I do like about using MS Word for blogging is the convenience. It’s literally as simple as typing a document and hitting the publish button. Another question that comes up, though, is how to view the HTML of the page to format it for publication; I have a number of special CSS tags designed for image and page layout, and I would love to use them instead of cluttering up my code with superfluous inline styles. But, we’ll have to see.
