If you are reading this post, that means that I have found a new way to write (and publish) my posts. And… if that is the case, tomorrow’s post will be how I did this! It is actually very exciting, if I do say so myself!
Before I continue with the technical aspects of this, let me ask you a question – How do you write/prepare/create your blog posts? Do you log into your Dashboard and start typing? Do you create a new document in MS Word and write your whole post and then copy and paste it into New Post on your site? Or, do use a program like TextWrangler (on a Mac) or Notepad (on a PC) and then copy and paste into a New Post?
To be honest, I usually start writing right online in my dashboard! I do save early and often so noting gets lost.
However, with this new way to “write,” I might be changing my Modus operandi and using this new way. Again, since you are reading this, come back tomorrow to see how I did it. Here is a hint… I started writing it MS Word – can you tell from my nice little clip art image on this page?
By the way, if you ever wanted to take advantage of the Clip Art in MS Word, or any of the images that comes with it, you can! And very easily!
Come back tomorrow and see how the magic happens!

i usually prepare my posts via word or indesign (and photoshop for the pix).
but i am looking for an offline blog editor which is suitable for mac (mac OS 10.4.11)
