Technology is so NIFTY

This is my first attempt at using Microsoft Word 2007 to publish a blog post. I've never actually tried it before and I just noticed today that it could be done. I don't really have much to say since I haven't completed revising my Teaching Philosophy, but I just wanted to test it out. It's very neat: it works like an FTP client in the sense that it allows you to enter in your username and password, and then publish directly from Word, so you don't even have to upload the document. This is really cool because you can write blog posts at times when you are not connected to the internet and then upload them later. That also allows you to save blog posts on your computer in case, for example, the internet dies tomorrow and all of that lovely work (or more importantly, all those procrastination tools) you've done disappears. If that does happen, you can still have "hard" copies on your computer to later make even "harder" copies out of. I think it's a novel idea and I love the potential of it…we'll see how I feel about it after this first post.

Just FYI….

Great post Moniqua. I always enjoy reading your comments because you always have something new and creative to say. You seem to know a lot about technology and what works and what doesn't. Good luck with your next mini project and the final project!
