When you’re a web worker, time is money. Here at Web Worker Daily, we’re all about helping you efficiently use your time.
In order to have some of the Word Processor features in my blog editor, I often compose my blog posts in Google Docs, then paste them into my blogging software. Well as bavatuesdays has pointed out, Google Documents now features the ability to post directly to your blog software.
To use this quietly rolled out feature, type in your Google Doc as you normally would and hit the “Publish” button. One of the options is to post to your blog. You’re presented with the following screen:
As you can see, the window asks for your blog type, username, password, and blog name. The support a large number of blog engines including WordPress, Blogger, Moveable Type, and more.
Once you’ve set up your blog information, you can easily post the Google Doc to your blog. In my testing, the result was plain looking posts that appear just as they do inside Google Documents.

I use this useful feature too. But, ironically, Google Docs does not post the title to Blogger.
You need to log into blogger.com after posting and correct. Every. Time.
