How to Effectively Blog Offline

Blogging Offline is something I commonly do. In fact I write most of my blogs on Microsoft Word and copy and paste to AR or save it to post later. Unfortunately, my format is usually disarranged when I do this.

I have found my answer!... Windows Live Writer

Windows Live Writer allows you to write your blog offline w/ photos, videos, maps, etc., preview what your post will look like, and then publish at a later time.

The downside? It will not post directly to ActiveRain. However, it will post to other major blog services including Blogger, Wordpress, TypePad, Windows Live Spaces, and more! It may still help you out on ActiveRain if you syndicate from one of these other blog services.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

I think copying your text offline is smart anyway so you have your info if something happened to AR.

Sounds like a good idea. It would save you from the uh-oh there is an error problem too.

Thanks,

Another way is to save your blog in Draft and Publish it when you are happy with the outcome

Hi! Toni - excellent tip for new bloggers like me. I just posted my first blog and took me three hours to post it - still it didnt come out how I wanted it.

As you said it, I wrote mine on words too and yep, just like you said it, it wouldnt put out the same way. I have some basic html knowledge, I tried that - that too didnt work! I was up till 3am, when I finally said that's it - this is NOT productive. I'm just going to post it and make it look best I can for now till I find tips from other bloggers.

So thanks, great tips - I'm working on a new piece on Feng Shui our listings, so will come in very handy - its downloading as we blog.
