Creating A Blog for ActiveRain

Using Google Docs


Why write this post? I want to be more creative in the look of my blogs that I write on ActiveRain. While searching for a way to add pictures when writing a post from my iPad, I came across a help topic using HTML code. It seems, according to the topic, I can use Google Docs, format my text here and when I copy and paste it into ActiveRain, it will look as it does here (here being Google Docs).


Here goes!


It works, hurray!!!

Now, for a final test, can I add a picture? Yes! Thank you Google Docs!

 


There is another advantage using Google Docs - I can add beautifully formatted text to an initial post from any device - computer, iPad or iPhone. Finally, a workable solution for documents with Zing!

I decided to make this a public post because it occured to me, there may be others working on platforms that give them similar challenges when writing from a mobile device. This solution helps them as well.
