Important note - I tried this on the "PC side" of my Macintosh and could not get it to work. After Googling it, it seems like I'm not the only one having problems with it. I'll go ahead and leave it on my list -- maybe you'll be lucky and it will work for you. Please post a comment and let us know if it does.

Post to your blog from Microsoft Word! How easy is that? (Note - at this time this option will not work on a Macintosh computer.)
