Publishing to Blogger with Google Docs

When I first started publishing to Blogger, I was extremely disappointed with the WYSIWG editor. Simple tasks such as inserting tables or images take a lot of time and you have to usually wind up writing HTML code to do it right. I have been looking for a better solution to do my blogging.

Google Docs
I recently took Google Docs out for a test drive and was impressed with how easy it was to write rich text documents through a web page. You can easily make format changes, build tables, and insert images. Google Docs also allows you to create presentations and spreadsheets.

Posting to Blogger with Google Docs
While working on a test document, I noticed there is a share button on the top right hand corner of the page. When you click the Share button, there are a couple of options available. If you select Publish as Web Page, you will presented with an option to Post to Blog. There will also be a link there so that you can setup your blog account settings.  Once your Blogger account settings are saved in Google Docs, you can now easily post documents from Google Docs to your Blogger blog. Give it a try, I have been using this setup for a few weeks now and I have to say that it is the best way I have found to create Blogger posts.
