I loathe the Blogger WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) post editor. The HTML editor is no better, as it resigns you to a small region of the screen that allows for limited editing at best. As such, I tried using Word 2010 to directly post into Blogger, but the formatting was lost in translation and there appears to be little success getting Word and Picasa to communicate for image uploads.
Enter
Google Docs. Text as expected, and the image I inserted directly from Picasa (or uploaded from my system) carried over just as asked.
Beautiful!
