Publishing Google docs to your blog

Posted on March 11, 2008 by Reverend

Yesterday, while showing a professor Google Docs, I discovered a feature I hadn’t seen before: the “publish to blog” option (not unlike the same feature in Flickr and del.icio.us and, from what I now understand, was also available with Writely). … Continue reading →
