As I said yesterday, I was testing the usage of MS Word as a web page for my blog, “Jeff’s Central Coast.” Just so you, the reader, know and can benefit from my experience, it was a total failure. At least for this blog, other sites might be different. Here though, the phrase ‘make work’ seems appropriate.
When I copied and pasted my blog into the proper form used by blogspot, none of the formatting used by MS Word was copied with it. In fact my nifty little picture of me playing at farmers market didn’t make the trip either! I ended up having to re-format the whole page and import the photo all over again, so it ended up being nothing more than a huge waste of time. I still recommend typing the original in MS Word because it’s just plain smart to keep track of your writing this way. It makes it a whole lot easier to find later, as long as you make each writing exercise a separate file. I’m also keeping separate files for all my images, again because it’s easier to find later that way.
So, I hope this helps someone. If nothing else it will serve to remind me of the little hurdles I had to overcome on my way to the top!
