Jeff Bishop pointed me to a cool feature in Microsoft Office 2007: the ability to post directly to a blog without using the standard web interface. If you're a regular reader, you'll probably remember my post about Bytescout's Post2Blog, a stand-alone application that also lets you post without using the web interface of your favorite blog application. In fact, there are a pretty hefty number of blog utilities available. But having the ability to blog directly through your word processor certainly has many advantages, including a powerful spell checker, easily stylized text, and it's painfully easy to include text from other Office documents. Adding pictures, tables, links and more is a breeze with the Office 2007 ribbon. And with the unmatched support that Window-Eyes brings to Office 2007, it's the most accessible remote blogging solution I've experienced so far.

Good find, Jeff.
