I use a blog tool created by Ray Camden. I love it and use an online editor to create my blog posts. One small annoyance is that I have to upload graphics into my blog and then point to them from the article so that it appears embedded... like this picture of a storm taken from my office window.
It would be better if I, and other folks building school websites using SharePoint 2010 could use Microsoft Word 2010 to creating an article, copying and pasting pictures into the word document as they saw fit and then with a button click or two have the whole article, complete with pictures transported up to the website with the layout they had created in the word document.
Well you can do it and it is really easy and I have created a little movie that explains how to do it. Even though we are talking about a "blog" post we can use a blog post for much than a personal musing. A blog is nothing but an article... so an announcement, newsletter, event broadcast can be posted using this method because blogs are simply articles stored chronologically with tags added to them so you can later find all articles that spoke about "fete" for example.
