Jumping Into A BandWagon
Here I am. Typing away within the boundaries of Writely.
Moving to GMail was simpler than I thought. Now it’s a case of testing out Writely, to see if it will help, amongst other things, my blogging.
So I’m bringing this post to you via Writely.
Okay. So there is a hitch. I might be being petty .. but the Title doesn’t come across from Writely to Wordpress. That’s pretty lame. I had to add the title for this post myself.
Most definately puts a dampener on my enthusiasm to use Writely for blogging.
The other issue that has just come to mind is this .. There is more to a post than just the content. I have mutliple Categories (sometimes) and Tags. Tags especially are important. I like to add them to each post (mostly by way of the awesome Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin).
Makes me wonder just how hard it would be to knock together a little engine in between an html file and the xmlrpc.php functionality for wordpress. I’d have to say, probably not very.
Ha ha. It’s not that Writely DOESN’T send the Title across .. it sends across a BLANK title. When you Republish a post, it strips the title you may have entered yourself through the Wordpress Admin.
There’s an option on the Options > Tags page for switching on Embedded Tags functionality. If that’s on, you can put
[tags]tags1, tag2, more tags, last tag[/tags]
into the body of your post; and when it’s saved in wordpress, the tags will be added to UTWs tag store, and when the post displays, that bit of the post will be hidden.

I should really make a webpage somewhere with that information on it, linked from places where people might expect to see it (:
It’s something which pops up with just about every external editor in the universe (;
