I just spent way too much time on Step #7, trying to publish my Google Docs document on my blog. I tried quite a few times, checking settings, etc. Ran the test button, it said the settings appeared to be correct, but no posting appeared. Sigh.
I don't think these products will be the future of office tools. They will have their place, but they won't totally replace standard PC office suites. Certainly not in institutions like mine - firewalls again. I can't even peruse these new tools without being on VPN. Don't see the powers that be dumping Office anytime soon for web based products. It's good that I now have some familiarity with these, so that I can at least appear somewhat knowledgeable when clientele arrive with questions.
At home, for myself, it may pay to investigate further, find the program I like best, and then start using it. I have no great love of nor loyalty to Microsoft, so I might give Zoho or Webex a whirl. For sure, I'm not going to bother with Google Docs, I just had a brainstorm, well, more like a brain twitter, but I thought I'd try to post to my blog from Zoho. Yeah, that took about 15 seconds, and success was mine!!!! Over and out for Week 5. Week 6, here I come.
