<\/a><\/p>\nI really like Google Docs, it is a nice clean editor. In the past you were able to copy the CSS from your WordPress Theme and paste it into Docs, but alas, those days are gone. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Today I am testing the Docs to WordPress add-on; you can get it from the Docs menu > Add-ons > get add ons, then search for blog editors – currently there are only 2.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n You should first change your line spacing to single.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The subtitle tag does not exist in my WP theme… it is used above in the \u201cor how I learned to love Google Docs\u201d the title is what is above, but this will not go into your blog title. The actual file name in Docs is what is used for the blog title when you publish your Doc to WordPress.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This is an normal text\u2026<\/p>\n Strikethrough <\/span> Underline <\/span> Bold<\/span> Italic<\/span> subscript superscript<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n There are a bunch of keyboard shortcuts you can get from the menu to do this.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n You can also change the font size on the fly or <\/span>even the colour. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This is a change to a different font, should be Times New Roman 12pt..<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This is highlighted text<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n To get this to work you must change your HTML mode to enhanced, when you are setting up the connection to your blog.<\/span> As you can see the subscript and superscript are not working.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I just pasted this link in <\/span>http:\/\/www.harrisweb.ca\/seo.php<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n LInk Anchor Text Here<\/a><\/p>\n Indent1<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n indent2<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n So as you can see the multilevel list is not supported, also, my numbered list got changed to ABC. The indents are not working, which in essence is the same as the multilevel list. On the bright side, the links work easily.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n So the image interface is a little glitchy so I want to do this in stages so you understand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This image is just dragged from the desktop and set inline at full The next image has been resized and put on its own line This image has <\/span><\/span>been dragged in, resized,and set inline. After I was finished with the initial draft I \u201csaved as draft\u201d to my WordPress editor and added the text wrap there. I have added some Lorem Ipsum here to show the effect. Eos accumsan accusamus comprehensam ei, his affert ignota reprimique no, autem contentiones sea <\/span><\/span> One of the big draws of using Docs to write posts is the Research feature built into it. So say I want to get an image of a sunset in Hawaii I simply highlight the words and go to Tools > Research and Google opens up a tab on the right with search results. I sorted the images by license and this one was marked \u201cfree to use\u201d so I dragged into this document and it came with instant citations.<\/p>\n\u00a0Docs To WordPress Plug-in<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, I had to copy and paste the citations inline because again the transfer to WordPress just didn\u2019t work.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\u00a0What make the sunsets in Hawaii so spectacular? Perhaps there\u2019s a scientific explanation but we\u2019re guessing it\u2019s probably just due to the weather and setting. In Hawaii the tradewinds normally blow from the NE. Clouds hit the mountains and lose their moisture. The result is that the west coasts (where the sun sets) rarely see completely overcast conditions (overcast skies as experienced in the Pacific Northwest is rare for Hawaii). So the weather, combined with the ocean that makes for a nice backdrop, and people being in the mood to experience nice sunsets can explain why so many people comment about Hawaii\u2019s beautiful sunsets.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n“Hawaii Sunsets – Hawaii Travel Guides – HawaiiGaga.com.” 2011. 16 Sep. 2015 <<\/span>http:\/\/blog.hawaiigaga.com\/index.php\/general\/hawaii-sunsets\/<\/a>><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nVoice typing<\/h2>\nSo the last feature that Google Docs offers that is kind of cool is the fact that you can type using your voice. To me this has to be the number one reason why you would want to use Google Docs to do your blog posts. I will continue in my conclusion using voice typing…<\/p>\nConclusion<\/h2>\nSo using Google Docs to be a blog editor with the Docs to WordPress plugin <\/span>is not perfect. All it really does is give you a starting point and the basic features of heading and body styles The easiest things to use are the links and adding photos into the document easily. Unfortunately the image editor is weak and you have to put all the images inline to begin with and edit them in your WordPress editor to add links and text wrapping.The good thing is that this plugin has a save to draft<\/span> feature that you can use then go to the WordPress editor and finish up with that.<\/p>\nThe Voice typing which is the strongest feature is not as good as say, on an Android phone which will delete a word with your voice and go to a new line with your voice.What it does do well is capitalization, and punctuation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOf course if you have many people working on a document, especially those who are not familiar with the WordPress interface, this is the only way to go. It works better than copy and paste.<\/p>\nI am interested in knowing what others use in place of the WordPress editor which I really don’t like, let me know in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Using Google Docs as a Blog Editor or how I learned to love Google Docs I really like Google Docs, it is a nice clean editor.
