It seems to be just as easy to use as the embedded blog publishing platform provided with Word 2007, and if you can believe some of the reports online, it also works seamlessly with blogger-hosted blogs as well (Word 2007 doesn’t seem to be capable of publishing images to blogger). I run a few blogger sites, so this is a big deal for me.

Just to check things out, to the right is a picture of Sunshine Beach, taken earlier this month. I live just a couple of hundred metres from the beach, & I’m out there pounding the sand most mornings at sunrise.

I have also set a category (blog marketing) to check this works as well.
