Joe Friend has posted a rather interesting entry on his site, covering Microsoft"s Office 12 Blog feature:
Stop, don"t jump to the end of this post to push the comment button yet. I"m not an idiot. I"m not endorsing you commit HTML suicide. If you"ve ever written a post in Word 2003 or before and then copied and pasted the text into your web browser you know what I"m talking about. Sure you can do it, but you have to run one of those HTML clean up tools so that your posts don"t look mangled. Even then the HTML is not tight and clean, right?
Well no more. We"ve been working late into the nights and very late into our development schedule for Word 2007 and we have a special goody for all you bloggers in Beta 2 of Office 2007. That"s right blog post authoring from Word. This is a very late breaking feature and is definitely beta software. That said, I hope that everyone is pleasantly surprised with where we are going with this feature.
