Publish Your Blogs from Microsoft Office Word 2007

I am using Microsoft Office Word 2007 for quite some time now. I noticed before that every time I open the 'New' menu to start a new blank document, there are always two options: Blank Document and New Blog Post. I usually use the Blank Document and never ever touched the New Blog Post not until I started Blogging.

Well probably, I am one of the late bloomers of the many hottest trends in the Internet, that is, BLOGGINGThis feature of MS Word 2007 actually makes your time more efficient especially for those who want to compose articles for their blog but has no Internet connection yet. Or they want to compose their articles first and publish it later.

Just a little information to worldwide readers is that the Philippines is still evolving on using the Internet from a schools, or Internet cafes or shop into a more home based Internet connection. Nevertheless, the passion for Filipinos to surf the cyberspace is overwhelming!

Here are the simple instructions on how to publish you blog from MS Word 2007:
