Just tested the blogging feature from Microsoft Word 2007 and it's pretty cool if it works as expected. I'm loving the new interfaces for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, especially the ribbon. Visio, however, seems a bit stale. Smart Art looks promising, like CSS taken to the next level. I might just switch to Word 2007 for good!

My first post using the new Blogger Word Blogging tool! It's easy to use and publishes really fast. I'm curious about HTML control since my AJAX tool outputs HTML. A few quirks: smiley icons show as "(", apostrophes look odd, and images/tables aren't supported. Planning a follow-up post with my feature requests.

Blogger has released a new plugin for Microsoft Word called "Word Blogger" (or "Worger" as I'm calling it!). It allows direct posting of Word docs to blogs. I'm excited to try it out and see if it maintains formatting. This release is timely; I've been frustrated with the current WSIWYG editor and its limitations.
