Zoho......hmmmm

Thought I'd got the hang of this. Managed to create a user name, create a document, and theoretically add it to my blog. Now it's somewhere in cyberspace, and I can't find it on my blog anywhere. Let's see if it just somehow magically turns up...or maybe I'll ask someone....

The potential for this kind of service is staggering, and if I can figure out how to really use it, I think it will be awesome.

POST SCRIPT - FOUND IT IN MY DRAFTS (NOT SURE HOW I FOUND MY DRAFTS BUT THAT'S A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME) ANYWAY - SEE PREVIOUS POST, 'COS THAT'S WHAT THIS REFERS TO. I DARE YOU TO CLICK ON THE LINK. Click the second part of the link and it should work.....

The previous post was actually created in Zoho Writer and added to my blog, all by myself - yippee! and it even looks seamless... It's just remembering the User IDs and passwords for all these sites that I can't remember.

I also just tried gOffice... see the link. I tried saving as PDF. It created a PDF but I can't get it attached to my blog. (The text from it is below, but the font has changed to Arial and it is obviously just text and not a PDF. I think I was expecting miracles. At least it does let you creat a PDF without having to have Adobe Writer.

"Greetings earthlings. This gOffice seems OK but it doesn't let you change font and I don't like Times New Roman. It also doesn't auto-correct typos.
Interesting concept. I want to see how it looks as a PDF document."

Trials and tribulations! Where's the fun if it all goes right?

Well done in your persistence.

Thanks for using Zoho Writer! The post probably appeared in the drafts because you either chose the 'Post as Draft' option or the time zone setting in Zoho Writer was different from that in your blogger account.

Try the other Zoho apps as well.
