How to post from Google Docs
Just been reading Kev's blog over at http://inner-rhythm.co.uk/blog/index.cfm/2007/9/30/Friday-Thought-Lack-Off and found out you can post to your blog from Google Docs. Really I should look into the Google Office
So here is a quick test.
If you are looking to set this up as well it's simple
- First and foremost make sure you have a gmail account. Once you've done that goto https://docs.google.com and settings
- On the settings page look for Blog settings and Edit Settings a pop up window should open, enter the following settings:
- Change the blog service to My own server/custom and select Moveable Type API
- The URL should be http://{blog cfc root}/xmlrpc/xmlrpc.cfm
- Enter your BlogCFC username, password, and a Blog ID/Title
- Click Test, if evertyhing is ok click OK
- Then Save settings.
- Create a new document
- Type your post
- Once you've finished click Publish the Post to blog
That's it

You can automatically set the category of the entry by tagging your documents with a category name that you use on your site I think this is case sensitive.
Also there is a BlogCFC Plugin for Eclipse: http://robrohan.com/2007/02/07/blogging-from-withi...

I've heard you could tag your documents and have them post to the right categories too, but I have not been able to make that work. :/
I too have been unsuccessful in tagging my docs to categories. @andyj, were you successful in hooking this entry up to "blogging" from Google docs? I would love to see an example or a quick explanation.
