Post Blog via Microsoft Word 2007

I've taken a liking to this whole blogging thing. One of the tools that is making stuff easier for me is using MS Word 2007 as my blog editor. It is super easy to type up a blog and with the click of one button have it go to the blog site of my choosing (sometimes multiple ones). When I use it to publish to Sharepoint it even allows me to add pictures to the blog post.

Here is a little documentation I whipped up if any of you want to link your Word 2007 to your blog provider.

  1. Click Start and select "New"


  2. Double-click "New Blog Post"


  3. Click "Manage Accounts"


  4. Click "New"


  5. Select your blog provider from the dropdown list and click "Next"


  6. Enter your blog account login information and click to "Remember Password".


  7. When you click OK, the Picture Options window will pop up. Select a compatible image provider (listed in the dropdown) and click OK.


  8. This message means you have successfully added the account to Word 2007.


  9. Type up a blog post and click "Publish". The Publish button also includes a dropdown to Publish as Draft to your blog provider.




  10. And there you have it.

    So easy a caveman can do it...
