Using Google Docs posting to Wordpress
November 14th, 2006
My experience with using Google docs with Wordpress – read and make up your mind
This post is written in Google Docs – which means that it is both a test and a review of how it is to use Google Docs for wordpress.
Setup
Setting up Google docs to publish to my blog is pretty easy (here is a nice guide with screen shots).
Name
I’ve named document “Using Google Docs to publish to wordpress” in the hope that this will be the name of the post.
Categories
I’ve tagged the document with the tags “Blogging” and “Google Docs”.
Pics
Here I’ve put in a picture in order to test if that works (I could probably read this somewhere but I’m lazy)
General usage
Pros
-The editor has a bigger window, this makes it more comfortable especially with long posts
- A nice intuitive editor. I find it much better than the one in Wordpress
- Spell check (also possible in Wordpress admin)
- Integrated in Google Dics which I use for many other things.
- Fast editor (I use it any way for drafts)
Cons
- No access to the more advanced features in Wordpress like tags and time.
———Update af publishing——————
- I’ve had to ad title and categories manually

Interesting post! Never thought of using Google docs like that. Not to be pedantic, but if using the spellchecker is one of your Pros, why didn’t you use it on the post? (Dics, af ad)

Your right! I should definitely consider moving spellchecker to cons
