This is my first blog entry using Blogger for Word

This is my first blog entry written in Microsoft Word and then published using the new Blogger for Word plugin.  This might be a very interesting way for faculty on campus to publish information for students to the web.  Historically, faculty have relied on Word to create content and then had to convert that text into html.  Microsoft’s publish as html history has been spotty at best, typically using too many proprietary options for maintaining formatting, creating web pages that might work great for Windows users, but not for anyone else.  One thing I’ll do with Blogger for Word is test formatting and see how it carries over to Blogger.  Also, perhaps this can be a mechanism for publishing to Illinois Compass, aka WebCT Vista.
