How to add flare to your blogs using Google Docs.....
Seems like once new people have taken the plunge to blog the next thing they want to know is how to make their blogs look pretty!! I have had this conversation I can not tell you how many times, and love it!!
I just discovered that I can record video of my screen with Jing, Boy am I going to have fun with that! So without further ado here is my vlog on “how to” create a blog using Google Docs!
Thanks Melissa, I was looking for a way to do this, I agree you need to jazz em up to keep peoples attention!
Well done Melissa! I love Google docs and have been using it for writing my blogs for a while now. I've used ScribeFire for years, but liked the fact that I now can "save" my blogs in Google Docs. I didn't know about the proprietary issue that Katerina is referring to, nor about the misc code being injected. Will have to check that out further.
Melissa,
GREAT POST!!!!!
That's how I learn. So, now I know how to do this. A 5 page explanation would just have lost me.
Thanks, once again,
Brian
Melissa,
Thanks for sharing, I love google docs and all that it offers...will check out your vlog a few more times to make sure I get it right
Melissa what a great tutorial! That was extremely easy. I just tried it and had no trouble at all. Thanks for sharing!
Melissa, Thanks for answering my question about where to go to be able to edit and enhance my blogs. I will check out googledocs.
Good morning Melissa,
I owe a big thank you to Richard I. for his reblog of your post. I have been using Jing for a long time but forgot about the video capability. I am going to start practicing with it so I will have another tool in my box.
Melissa- thanks for posting, I have never heard of Jing, I will bookmark it and try it out.

Melissa, very nice tutorial! Now I need to check out Jing! Thanks for the tips!
Melissa - Great tutorial. I never thought of using Google docs. to write a post.
Hi Melissa, I was just directed to your video blog for instructions on how to use google docs to format. Thank you so much for this post! I've been a member for a few years and all this time didn't know how to do that. Many thanks!
Tech posts just keep living on, I just used this tonight and it is the best post out there still for adding color and font sizes to your blogs, thanks for all you do.
What a great way to use the video and the blog. Great job of teaching us new tech tricks.
Thanks to Mary....for rebloging this...as I'm getting tired of using firefox...but I will have to bookmark this and study it later....thanks for posting this.
Dear Melissa -
Well, trying to do some comments and WOW!!!
Just spent over one hour on JING tutorials.
Really great!!
Thanks and have a happy day -
Lynn
Just came over from Mary Macy's reblog. Had to tell you thanks and good job
I'm one of those folks who use the Web layout from Word, and it works fine for me since I already have Word anyway. But knowing about being able to do this on Google docs works for me too since I am weaning myself away from Microsoft products
Hi Melissa,
Google Docs is very cool. Google drive is an excellent storage service.
For example, you can use Google Docs as a backup destination to backup all your data from other cloud services. For example, if you use Evernote and Dropbox, it might good to backup all notes and documents to Google Drive.
So please check out cloudHQ (http://cloudHQ.net) - cloudHQ can backup and sync all your files from Dropbox, Evernote, SugarSync, Box, etc. to Google Docs - even Basecamp projects.
