I am curious to see how well this works. I teach ‘07 so I guess I ought to learn how to do it for real even though most people I teach are probably not going to use it.

So far, I have had numerous failures getting this to post. There is pretty decent Blog Help online but…only pretty decent. I’m not seeing how to assign a category to this post.

Judy Rosella Edwards Hey, look at that! Word ‘07 does know how to assign either my name or my initials.

Okay… there is the Category list. It is on the Blog Post tab in the Ribbon. Hey, I’m getting this terminology down, eh?

Eventually I’ll play around with formatting and such.

Here was my issue. I host Wordpress on my own server at http://judyrosellaedwards.com and not on the Wordpress site. The Blog Help was a little vague on that one but I finally figured it out. Your blog account has to identify exactly what directory and on what server your /xmlrpc.php file is residing. The sample is http://<Enter your blog URL here>/xmlrpc.php. My file is actually in a subdirectory at http://judyrosellaedwards.com/blog/xmlrpc.php so I had to type that in.

I still had to identify Wordpress as my blog host even though the blogs reside on my server.

If you are reading this, then the thing worked!
