Did you know that Google, our friendly supplier of blog space, has given the world a new free tool? It's called Writely. "What exactly is a Writely?" you ask. Well, it's an online word processor, and it seems to be a pretty good one at that. It's there for you at writely.com wherever you are and whatever machine you're on. It has the ability to save files in various formats including Word or PDF. I'm writing on it right now. Maybe I'll continue to use it. Maybe I won't, but it's nice to have the option.
I just signed up and tried a test document. It looks very cool, thanks!
ReplyDeleteWritely or wrongly . . Google should get their gorram Blogger problem sorted out so we can post pictures again!!

Wow. Google is going to take over the world.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be all over the new technology! I feel so "old school" next to you! I was contemplating taking a quill and ink well to my first English class.
ReplyDelete...and who ever thought that "Google" would become a verb!? Can you imagine? 100 years ago going up to the teacher in a one-room school house and telling her you "Googled" Suzie?? You'd probably get a detention, bar of soap and all!
What Turtle Guy said,
ReplyDeleteAnd writely so.
How does Sir Anvil
Stay in the know?
So many new things and so little time - thanks for the info. ec
ReplyDeleteI checked it out. It looks like it works pretty well. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteYup. That's pretty cool alright. Thanks, AC. You da man!
ReplyDeletehmmm.. interesting. I am on my way to check it out.
ReplyDeleteHey AC, another tool you might like to check out is Windows Live Writer (http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/).
ReplyDeleteIt's like webtop version of Word.
Do you and Cuppa have any plans for the first week of September? I have some time off and would love to swing by for a visit!?
ReplyDeleteI'll check it out. It has to be better than what I'm using.
ReplyDeleteNo i haven't heard of this. I'll check it out when i can...i still haven't yet checked out the Blogger in Beta. Have you switched over yet? I need to check into that.
ReplyDeleteWaaaaa. I can't get on my blog's dashboard and therefore haven't been able to post in almost two weeks. Wonder what I'm doing wrong.
ReplyDeleteThat looks kinda cool. I can't think of what I could use it for right off, but now I'm trying desperately to make up a reason so I can!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up, I will check it out.
ReplyDeleteI really have had my problems with BLOGGER and EI. but I found a better way to post pictures.
