Technology is our friend. Technology is our friend. Technology is our friend. It seems as though no matter how many times we say it, people still find it difficult to assimilate comfortably with technology and to be more accurate, blogging.


I can’t blame people, everyone has their own reason to obstain from blogging but in the end theres always one reason to participate. If you don’t, you’ll miss out on valuable relationships and business. Blogging can be arduous if you make it. Though, your environment may be the big culprit. Text editors can be bloated with settings and features we'll never need or use. If distraction is the reason you don’t blog or blog infrequently, we’ve discovered just the solution. OmmWriter is a great tool for bloggers who need to weed out distractions that might prevent them from getting to work. Microsoft Word 2010 or 2011 are equally effective tools to focus on the task at hand, blogging!

Will - looks very interesting ommwriter - their FAQ said they are working on a windows version but would not commit to release date. For windows users, I highly recommend google docs to write content for blog posts. It transfers very nicely into AR (unlike MS Word that is everything but easy in the transfer of formatting). Good job on your new vlog giving us tech info! appreciated

Hi Will

Great vlog, like the sound effects, what is Mac? ;o) I am not changing to a Mac, too old for that big of a change......

As with Craig's comment, I always thought ms word, did not export or paste well in the AR editor, so if there is a way to use ms word, I would prefer it, and keep all my docs in one place, and convert reports and other stuff we have already created into some blog posts...\

by the way, how do you create picture in picture as you did with this vlog, very cool.

this may be stuff for a new post..

thanks for the tips, we appreciate it, keep on vlogging

❧Whoa Will!  I'm so glad you've come and joined in VBloggers!  Love the video and the info!  Now I'm going to re-echo the question, how do you create the video tutorial with your image embedded!?!

Happy Valentines day to you!!!

Hey guys, I use iMovie on a Mac to create all my videos. A bit more of a learning curve than using Windows Movie Maker, I have a litte more flexability on how I present my videos. A benefit of that is the ability to drop a watermark on my video. The other program I used to make that watermark is called Adobe Photoshop. 

Maybe I will create a vdeo on how to do this if it seems more people would like to do the same?

Hey Will - Thanks for the great info.  I'm also a "Mac-ie" - I've only used iMovie once, so would love a little tutorial on all it has to offer.  That's very cool the way your video is on the bottom right hand corner of the page.  Ommwriter sounds great.  Will definitely check it out.

Will,

We all suffer from that dreaded disease of writers block more often that we care to admit.  Thanks for the hint.

Will- I love your vBlogs and really appreciate your taking the time to help us.  I've never used a MAC!  I sometimes use ScribFire to write my posts, or to had some color or different fonts.  I may try using Google Docs, like Craig mentioned.

Dear Will,

Thanks for the continuing education!

One of my favorite parts of AR is the constant availability of new things to learn.

Have a happy day -

I guess there is always adhd medication for those who do not have access to those programs, right? Great overview.
