http://buzz.blogger.com/bloggerforword.html** -- From Will Richardson's book, Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for the Classroom: p. 52 "And there is a "Blogger for Word" tool now that allows you to post right to your blog from Microsoft Word. The good news is that gives you the ability to spell check your post before publishing it, and it gives you an easy way of saving your work locally. Be aware, however, that not all of the formatting capabilities in Word will translate over to your Blogger site." (Deb Tryggestad, Multimediamadeeasy blog, posted 7-26-08)
