So, apparently, OneNote has a feature that lets you blog something automatically. This post right now is a result of OneNote’s “Blog This” menu option. I clicked the button, it started up a cracked out version of Word that may or may not be Word 2007 (I’m an ignorant Word 2003 user). As excited as I am about more OneNote integration, because I am a OneNote addict, I’m a bit scared, as there are a *lot* of formatting options.

“Lotta formatting options?? That sounds great!” I think… but my skeptical self bets that this post is gonna consist of some crazy ass MS XML embedded into a normal post, which means, this will be the first, and last time, I use this feature. Let’s hope, of course, that I’m pleasantly surprised, and I don’t have to worry about OneNote generated stuff clashing with my own style sheets on my blog.

On the upside… you might like this tool because it took all of 15 seconds to set up w/ WordPress, and it also grabbed my whole category list, so it’s easy to tag posts with. Methinks, editing and then copy and pasting from word as text will work well enough for me in the future. I guess I should bold and test other formatting stuff too.

Edit: Holy crap. It’s sane XML. It works. I just edited this post in the same document… and republished. Maaagical.

Edit 2: Background and highlighting test, which I’ll probably never ever
ever
use anyways.

Edit 3: I broke it by messing overlapping background colors and highlighting. Made it throw in an extra line break.
